      I went to Charleroi once and it was awful. Brussels is fine.

      Does this mean you love it and want to keep it all to yourself? Also how does it smell?

        No, I would tell you to avoid Ghent at all costs then!

      Just got back from a 3 day trip to Brussels, we loved it. Plus, Smurfs (Les Schtroumpfs) everywhere. We did take a day trip to Bruges though, that was even better than Brussels IMHO. Especially since I could walk around saying to my wife “If I grew up on a farm, and was retarded, Bruges might impress me but I didn’t, so it doesn’t.”.

      Was recommended the same by someone from Brussels.

      (He was not 6 foot and full of muscles, to be clear)

        The vegemite sandwiches are enough to keep me away.

          Back when Australia was still remote and exotic, before Crocodile Dundee even, a lot of people back in the day thought he sang:
          “He just smiled and gave me a bit of my sandwich”,
          which would have also made for a fantastic lyric in a very silly way.
