Update:

I'm in the Dublin airport on my way to Belgium! I will see a frined first and then meet up with MoP tomorrow! So excited! Dublin is cool, but i didn't get to do the rural ireland (celtic stuff and beautiful countryside) as i was just there for about 2 days.. not even. EXPENSIVE city.

Mmmm whiskey.

Donkere Leffe FTW!!!!!!!


Kasteel bier is good as well, but it gives WICKED hangovers.

Grimbergen is pretty good, but still Leffe wins out everytime. Where in Belgium does MoP live? there is a great bar in Hasselt (het hemelrijk) that has over 200 sorts of beer.

LoL MoP's cat is guarding the room where my bed is! i went to the bathroom and now he's standing in front of the door and hisses and takes a swing at me if i try to get back into my room! He's so cute though, why won't he like me! Cats... (i guess they are similar to women).


I will try as many beers as i can :) Leffe is one of my favorite belgium's i can find back home, but only the Blonde.

We're going to Antwerp today, and then Gent next Sat. Otherwise not srue where else, i'll be on my own for a few days, will definitely try to go to Brugges.

Mickal said he doesn't mind warm juice :shock:

Any takers here to shelter him for the rest of the week?

I'm trying to teach MoP "Thats what she said" jokes.. we'll see how that goes (apparently its "dat is wat zij zei")

He's missed a few, cause i say stupid things a lot that work well with said joke.

Import Dutch words to know

"kut" "hoer" "wijf" "lul" "turk" "vuile bruine" although [I am sure MOP had taught you most of these

LMAO


The basic words in Belgian life, eh? :P


Mickal, if you think Belgium is a beautiful country, then even flat old ugly Holland has a chance with you. If you think NL is pretty, I'll be flabbergasted for a bit. :shock:

We're planning on coming up to Holland tomorrow(Friday) night! MoP will probably talk to you about it.


I have learned a few words Droevig (your name means Sad).. but struggling with most of the language. the parts that are similar to english or german i usually get.

The words you mentioned i don't know :P I'm guessing they are dirty/swear words? MoP has been nice and not taught me those yet i guess :)

I love how you translate 'wijf' to 'woman' ;)

Gulden Draak was a favorite of mine.

LEFFE?? WHY? The French gobble that stuff up... There's so many better beers to drink than Leffe.

Go to the jenever place in Ghent, next door, kinda, is what I'd say was the best beer bar I've been to. Get the beer they have, a blonde, that's named for the bell of the watch-tower. The menu has 5 languages of story on the front, see if MoP can read it to you and maybe explain the humor in it. You'll probably get to go to a chocolate bar with them, something I still have to do there...

Get ahold of the Use-It maps, they're free and in all hostels; maybe in offices of tourism too, maybe. These were pretty good for going around on your own. Hooked myself up with some good food in Antwerpen with this map, a cheap/amazing sandwich shop near green-place there.

In Brugge, De Garre

Do everything you can to go here, best dark beer ever! Also, rent a bike and go to the sea, the north side of the port as the south side is too touristy. I bought food for a sack-lunch at the market there either wednesday or thursday morning, I stayed at the Johnny Rockets hostel(don't think I had a choice that night b/c of how well I planned.) Also, Brugge has the cheapest food I've eaten in Europe, 3 Euro pile of spaghetti, if I can find my Use-it map I'll try to post the name of the place. Other than that, talk to the tourists in Brugge, I found many to be good fun and worth at least one round of beer. Got an open invite to Barcelona from some peeps too.

I was out there for only 3 weeks... even made it up to near Nagash, to no avail...:(

Hope you have a good time out there. I wonder what that house is like with other people and furnishings.

Our dykes will always be craving fingers. :lol:

The Mickal may have changed our national motto yesterday :)

Fun times at the European minibash! Next time we should get the Gili, Lak and Droevig over as well. And the Cluesen if we ever succeed at finding him........


Btw, "we" (the footie team) beat Japan. So "we" have made it into the quarter-quarter finals. The picture amidst the orange flags has not been for nothing!
