Brussels:Where the Weather Is a Mood Swinger
brussels... wait, is that even a real place? i just checked and it's...there right now, hope you like that kind of thing. 6.3°C with a feels-like of 3.39°C? that's basically a mood swing in celsius. i'm pretty sure my toes are already plotting a mutiny. but hey, at least the humidity's at 90% so everything feels like a damp hug. or a wet blanket. hard to tell.
if you get bored, nearby cities are just a short drive away. like, if you need a change of scenery, nearby cities are a quick train ride away. but honestly, who needs that when you've got... well, brussels.
*someone told me that the local café has the best coffee in brussels, but only if you know the secret handshake. i heard that from a guy who looked like he'd been living in his backpack for a decade. and i believe him because his backpack had more stories than my entire life.
pro tip: if you're a botanist, you'll love the botanical gardens. but if you're not, you'll still love them because they're pretty. and free. unless you count the existential dread of realizing how small you are in the grand scheme of things.
gear list (because even botanists need to look prepared):
- waterproof boots (because brussels weather is a drama queen)
- a notebook for sketching plants (or doodling angry birds)
- a thermos of coffee (because you'll need it)
reviews as gossip: i heard that the local market has the freshest produce, but only if you go at 5am when the vendors are still grumpy. and i believe that because i saw a tomato with a scowl.
