I wanna move to Belgium. Not once have I considered Brussels as my new demeure. It’s got some cool stuff, but it has little to no revisit value.
Quite a lot of the cities in the Flemish region look absolutely beautiful (Bruges especially), yet everyone I know of just sees Brussels and thinks of it as all of Belgium, then comes to the conclusion that the entire country is basically rubbish.
But I personally think that Charleroi is way worse.
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.
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.”.
Just make sure to avoid Brussels. Belgian myself and I hate the place.

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.

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!
Na Ghent and Brugges are lovely. Brussels is kinda meh but not superbad.
I visited Brussels this a month ago, I loved it.
Kinda enjoyed my 2 day trip…
I went to Charleroi once and it was awful. Brussels is fine.
Charleroi is super depressing indeed.
