Two things that I love about Belgium:
1) There is a good variety of Quality Beer for cheap! Brands like Chimey and Duvel which might cost you $10-$12 in a bar, are $3 MAX.. and even cheaper if you opt for the six pack in the supermarket.
Beeer!!
2) Some of the worlds best splurge foods are in abundance and a cut above! Chocolate, French Fries and Waffles.. need I say more? I will. Even in the United States & Australia these foods are amazing, but in Belgium.. they are better. Who knows why, they just are, and it is probably a good thing that I live outside of this country!
Waffles!
As sad as it might sound, those two reasons stand alone as the only purpose Chelsea and I even went to Belgium: Beer and Treats! Yum! Yum indeed! Even though these aren’t the best reasons for visiting, we left with more excuses to return. Some other highlights were hanging with our CS host Jenny, a cool Fin who was light-hearted and possessed a love of Irish Pubs. Also the chocolate museum in Brugge! Brad and I kept going back to the demonstrations for the free chocolate samples 
Choco-man!!
Our CS host Jenny!
The scenery in Ghent was well deserving of the star recommendation from Kelly and the rest of Chelsea’s fam, especially along the “sandless beach.” Ghent was very similar to Amsterdam with bicycles wizzing past, spinning unsuspecting tourists around and chill canals running through the city.
The Beach in Ghent!
Good job Belgium, always nice to have expectations met, then exceeded!
