At least in America, you’ll be served by an out-of-work actor, so at least they’ll PRETEND to care about service.

It’s true! I was there. Belgian service is terrible. Good thing the beer and the food are delicious. Thanks again for the hospitality. I am waiting to return the favor…

Mindi, this entry was hilarious. Kara and I really enjoy hearing about your life overseas. Hope Jacqueline succeeds with her mission to bring you a little bit of home this week.

Hooray for July sales! It’s too bad the Belgium stores can’t provide a cool oasis to the heat but then again, it sounds like some retail therapy will be a good distraction from the high temps!

We just returned from our east coast vacation. Let’s skype soon! xo.

I know! Some Serbs (and general Balkan peeps) kiss either once, or three times, except when they kiss twice. It is confusing! And to be honest, I never thought about which side to start on so now I wonder if I have been kissing like an ignorant, culturally-insensitive fool, or if we play it fast and loose here….

Comment on Cinq au hasard des choses sur Bruxelles by Tobydog

I’ve just read your blog for the first time, and oh how it resonates with me!
I’m not yet fully resident in Brussels, having commuted between the UK and Belgium for 2 years, but will be a permanent fixture in less than 2 months….Gulp!
Questions that I ask frequently are:-

1. Why do I have to pay “Madame Pipi” even when I’m eating ( and paying! ) in a restaurant – and why am I restricted to two sheets of toilet paper??

2. Does Belgium actually insist on its drivers having passed a test? After using the car to house hunt, I now understand why my car insurance is going to increase by over 500% on the UK price! I think I’ll be doing a lot of walking…..

3. Is it just the UK that has a preoccupation with bathrooms and toilets in houses? A five bedroom house with one bathroom – is it me?

4. And finally – something very nice – when I have asked casually ( whilst holding my breath! ) whether landlords will allow dogs in their newly renovated, very white, very dog hair free houses they have all said yes – and asked what breed and how many! Try asking that in the Uk and see what answer you get!

So, wish me luck on my impending move – I may, as yet, become an unintentional housewife as no job is on the horizon yet….I think I prefer unintentional gym bunny tho!
