It’s been 4 days since Brussels became my “home”, but not a very hospitable one.
Life in Brussels is kind of strange: no English in metro, no English in the buses, trams, no English inside all the EU institutions, if you speak French or Dutch (I don’t 🙂 ) you are welcomed inside the EU capital city.

During the nights sometimes 🙂 I am sleeping at the Royal Residence, a very nice place with hot water, something like Kolej Jarov 😛 .
