Jim’s Perspectives:

Have been to Belgium several times while in Europe. Drove by the Grand Place, the Palais de Justice, the European Parliament building and then had dinner enjoying some amazing food and cold beer.

One fun fact about is that Belgian men are the second tallest in the world measuring on average over 5’9″.
