[@MITigatingNROBOts]

We're here right now, and it's great. Saunter through the touristy yet enjoyable Grand Place area, but then I recommend checking out the area due east past the Bourse for great and cheap eats and drinks.

Hello Steves. I really enjoy your videos. In one of those you take us to Brussels and Bruges. Why didn't you include Antwerp? I would love to see one about that beautiful city. Two thumbs up!

[@jerryemerick5178]

nose pick at 2:12

[@frotworth]

Might have been a nose scratch. I get itches just inside the nostrils sometimes. No joke. (Really hard to try scratching it without looking like you're picking your nose. Embarassing.)

city built with congolese bloood

[@witsze3]

so ?

[@totalbelfun]

Utterly non-sense. First, you know very well after the war, many devastated European countries needed labour and to be precise CHEAP labor. They invited millions of people to rebuild Europe and create the infrastructure that helped gaining prosperity again. Everybody knows that Moroccans and Turkish immigrants were the main workforce behind the Brussels metro for instance. Having said that, I agree that 2nd generations immigrants are a challenge and not necessarily a problem.
