I just can't wait to be king...

Ooook I haven't been able to update this as much as I wanted to but oh well.

The weekend before last I went to Brussels, Belgium with a friend from school. As soon as I arrived I realized that my goal of not eating anymore waffles would have to be postponed. They are too delicious.

We arrived in Brussels Thursday night and met up with Jan, a guy from couch surfing who said we could stay with him for a night. He took us to a place called the Kulture Kafe on a college campus. It was neat because they had a live band playing. Afterward, we dropped off our bags at Jan's apartment and went to a club near the campus. It was an abandoned warehouse really, but the drinks were only 1 euro! My friend Wade and I met a bunch of Jan's friends and danced the night away.
The next day we said our goodbyes to Jan and gave ourselves a tour of the city. We stumbled upon a fantastic waffle house and enjoyed our first taste of belgian chocolate. We also stumbled upon the Grand Place, which we learned was basically the most famous place in Belgium, le Mannekan Pis, Le Palais Royal, Mini-Europe and the Atomium, and a miniature version of Oktoberfest that Brussels hosts every 2 years for one weekend. Yes I know, we got lucky.

We stayed in hostels the other 2 nights and met a wide variety of people. One girl named Lavinia, mentioned an amazing cafe/bar called Delirium Cafe, and another guy named Geoffrey took us there! The cafe has over 400 different kinds of beer and a great atmosphere.

For some reason on Saturday we decided it would be a good idea to get haircuts. After failing miserably to communicate what kind of haircut I wanted to the barber, I pointed to a picture of Barack Obama I saw in a magazine. The barber became very excited as if he had been given the mission of a life time. When he was done he yanked off my blanket, flicked it in the air and yelled "VOILA! Obama!"

The last day of our trip we gave 2 guys a tour of Brussels (because we knew it so well), and somehow we missed our train. There actually is a reason but I won't get into it now. We had to pay 17 euros to get a different train though :(

So basically what I'm trying to tell is:
If you love chocolate, if you love waffles, if you love cool looking buildings with lots of history, and most definitely if you love beer, go to Brussles. Now.
