Brussels 

Capital of Belgium and Europe, Brussels is a very cosmopolitan city of around one million inhabitants.

It is bilingual French-Dutch with, according to estimations, 95% of it's inhabitants speaking good to perfect French. For English and Dutch these figures are 35% and 28% respectively.

Consequently, you can now understand why Brussels is such a cosmopolitan city. The fact that it hosts the European Commission and the headquarter of the NATO only adds to this. Brussels also has vibrant districts, such as the Matonge, which form ethnic enclaves.

It is culturally very rich, it has a good nightlife, interesting museums, and a world-famous central market square: The Grand Place (it's French name) or the Grote Markt (it's Dutch name: remember Brussels is Bilingual French-Dutch, which in practice means that all street names and signs there are written both in French and Dutch. Policemen are also expected to be bilingual). Monuments in the city include Manneken Pis, the Atomium and the Royal Palace.

The climate there is moderate with relatively lots of precipitation, which is typical for the region.

To conclude, Brussels is a very nice city that has lots to offer and that, even if it can offer a lot of rain, Brussels remains very nice.

Man in Brussels

Man too large to pick a fight with.

As the song says, "Buying bread from a man in Brussels. He was six foot four and full of muscles."
Jeff: Dude, there was this guy starting shit down at the Kirk Hotel.
TP: Did you kick his ass?
Jeff: Nah, guy was a like a man in Brussels.
Pete Dick: Shut up and Irish yourself.

The Brussels Fear 

A derivative of The Fear it may be encountrered after only a short time in the Belgian capital of Brussels.

Studies show that The Brussels Fear may be caused by the increased alcohol content of Belgian Beer. Conflicting studies have found that the true source of The Brussels Fear is the general sense of loathing one gets from being in Brussels.

The Brussels Fear is made worse by the local population's refusal to assist you with even the most basic of tasks, generally accompanied by the phrase 'It is not possible'.

The only known cure for The Brussels Fear is leaving Belgium however the effects of this illness can be felt for many days/lifetimes after.
The best feeling in the world is when the plane/eurostar starts moving and you know the worst is behind you. You then shake violently when you realise you still have the Brussels Fear.
