Oh, watching the son et lumiere from the Golden Boot while drinking
their Irish Coffee and eating Brandy snaps is a pretty good reason,
too. (Assuming the Golden Boot is still there and they still do the
son et lumiere, that is.)
As in the one in the Grand Place?
Possibly, but after that, Brussels is starting to run out a bit, isn't
it really?

What were you expecting, hordes of wildebeeste...

You can't expect Brussels to compete with someweher thriving and
metropolitan like, um, Birmingham.

Actually Birmingham is far more exciting, even if they do have a
speech impediment.
