Brussels, Belgium is one of the coolest cities I have visited so far! While I was there I was reminded a lot of the States in some aspects! First of all, I would say it is as diverse or maybe even more diverse than the States, which is something I was missing a lot in France. I am used to being surrounded by different types of cultures and languages in my hometown but Angers is somewhat of the opposite. You only hear French and only see native French people in the streets. This is one of the reasons I chose Angers in the first place, but the diversity of the States is something that I was missing the most while abroad! While in Brussels, I loved hearing a different language as I turned through each street! I was constantly hearing English, French, German, and Spanish. I was most excited of being able to hear Spanish, since it is my native language, after months of the speaking it daily. Another great thing about Brussels in particular, is the lively and vibrant atmosphere that the city has 24/7. Brussels is a city filled with a young population and on every corner you turn to, you see something interesting you have to check out. The city also does pretty well in the gastronomy area. You have not tasted a great French Fry until you go to Belgium and have a basket full of fries for €2!!! They also have the best waffles in the world! Any type of topping that you can image having on a waffle is possible in Belgium!! I enjoyed a tasty Nutella, strawberry, and kiwi waffle on one of the million waffle shops you find walking up and down any street. When it comes to drinking beer, (which I am personally not a big fan of) Belgium has a massive selection of beers! Delirium Cafe is one of the most known places in Brussels to enjoy a beer, since they have over 2,000 option for you to choose from. The bar itself has a great atmosphere earlier in the day before it gets extremely crowded at night. If you ever find yourself in Europe and are looking for a quick, fun weekend adventure Brussels is a magnificent city to visit. They have something for everyone!!
