Roses turn me on

it's not even my title, it has been suggested by google when starting writing. only managed to write an innocent r :))
but how this title fits what I wanted to say!
our small apartment is now full of vases with roses of all colors and it's amazing. they are about 150 and beautiful. or should I say sexy?

Fucking freezing

At least it doesn't rain anymore. Though I haven't decided yet what I prefer: rain or cold. That's why they put Christmas in winter, to distract the attention from bad weather. What if it's freezing, look at all the lights blinking, isn't it beautiful?

The other monkeys

did I forget to brag about seeing them in concert on 3rd nov?

mongolian zdutz zdutz

Seen in Place Sainte-Catherine, where a Mongolian fair was taking place. Good mongolian food and incredible music :) I also have the traditional version, will post it later.
Who said mongols aren't cool? I know, I know, an ex-client of mine.

METRO doesn't want us

We were dreaming all day to get in there. To lose ourselves in the heaven of cash&carry shopping, between all the shelves and products that are just waiting to be taken home. But no! We are not good enough to get in there, so we'll never know how it is. Actually we know from Romania, but what if here it's different? Well, we'll never know.

Why? Cause in Belgium it's not enough to have a company statute to get a METRO card, you have to prove that you're selling food - that you're a restaurant, a shop, whatever. And we are not. But maybe it's worth opening a doner kebab fast food just for this.

going out

to drink your brains out.
Brussels is full of small and big bars and even those which are not so posh can be a good place to enjoy your drunk chit chat. I like their understatement, the 'just came for a drink' feeling and the mix of all kinds of people. We've already been in some nice places like Bizon, Zebra or Mappa Mundo (nice names also) and we have other 3 on the list to experiment, so we don't get bored.
The large variety of beers is also of great help, though our Romanian liver has some problems in handling them. I hope it's just a matter of time to get used to them. It's a pity cause a lot of them are very good. I usually drink Blanche, as it's lighter. Chimay and Chouffe are also a good choice due their deliciously creamy texture, but a headache is guaranteed.
For my disappointed, I haven't discovered yet a nice place to dance. I'm sure there are a lot of 'house trance whatever shit everybody's on pills' clubs. But I'm interested in that kind of place where after you drink and start thinking you can dance, to actually have the possibility to prove it. And the music to be nice and the people also and you know. Like Control in Bucharest.

You should go to District 9

It's not a commune or neighborhood in Bruxelles, in fact it doesn't have to do with Bruxelles, but it's been a long time since I didn't watch a good movie so I had to write about it. And after all, I write whatever I want because I can.
So. What if the immigrants in a country, let's choose randomly...Belgium, wouldn't be Turkish, Arabs, Polish or Romanians, but ALIENS. Buhuhu! Ok, the action takes place in South Africa. And they're not quite immigrants, they're kind of refugees and after reading this post you'll think that I'm stupid and that I don't understand anything from the movies I see.
Well, go and see the movie, I'm not a film critic and it rains a lot in Belgium (there you go).

Garbage day

Every Tuesday and Friday.
It would be better if people took the garbage out after six o'clock, the sideways are narrow enough.
