I lived and studied in Brussels, Belgium for the spring 2009 semester. I have to say that living in Brussels for this brief time period is one of the most significant growing experiences I have ever had in my life. I was exposed to so many neat things. Belgium is located right in the middle of Europe so other countries are very easy to get to. I was able to visit Ireland, London, France, Luxembourg, and Italy in just the short time I was there.
Also, because of its location, the city of Brussels is extremely international. I attended church every Sunday with people from all over the world. Our congregation included people from Belgium, the United States, Brazil, France, and Lithuania, just to name a few countries. I loved meeting new people and learning about their different cultures.
Brussels also has some very interesting sites that should not be missed (Grand Place Square, the Mannekin Pis, l’Arc de Triomphe, etc.). There is always an adventure to be had in Brussels. And last but not least, Belgium has amazing food! I recommend the chocolate, waffles, and a food called speculoos.
