Thanks yk... preciate that...

My favorite places are Bruges and Antwerp. The main art museum in Antwerp is nice as well as the Peter Paul Reubens house. If you like WWII history, Bastogne is a cool town to witness the Battle of the Bulge battlefields. Also in the south is the Orval monastery where monks still make the Trappist beer and cheeses.

Thanks to you all, more, more...!
