I mean, they EU here, sure.\u00a0 And there&#8217;s stuff happening to be sure.\u00a0 But it seems like the majority of people seem to hang out at cafes or in the numerous pubs that dot the

many drugs and not enough sustenance.\u00a0 I cancelled my evening&#8217;s reservation at a Belgian place to do a tasting menu of local cuisines and rescheduled it for Monday, my last night in town, as a blow out.\u00a0 I did however partake of one of the top Belgian foods &#8211; fries with special sauces.\u00a0 I went with the chip man&#8217;s recommendation of sorta-spicy &#8220;<span class=\"st\">andalouse,&#8221; scared off of the super spicy &#8220;samurai&#8221; dipping sauce.\u00a0 Some day that samurai and I are gonna square off.\u00a0 Some day.\u00a0 Maybe in Bruges.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>The expo itself was the usual, usual.\u00a0 It&#8217;s about a 45 minute walk from my hotel at Parc du Cinquantenaire, which is also the start line for Sunday.<\/p>\n<p><a
