Brussels

In Brussels, I met lot of man "6 feet tall, full of muscles". I did not ran and take cover. Like man hired taxis are robust too. They use Mercedes Benz for normal taxi. They don’t consider it a posh car. They say 'we need heavy duty vehicle for hard work`. Here Luxury cars are Porce, BMW, Rolls Royce, Ferrari etc. When they see a six door looong car or shining Rolls Royce parking in the street, they look it carefully and with respect they exchange look with fellow friend or stranger. Suited and booted men never do that but men in jacket usually does so, especially those men who keep there both hands in pocket too keep them warm. And most of the time I wear jacket. Normal Belgian rides Rolls Royce twice in his lifetime, on his marriage day and his funeral procession.
Brussels is bilingual city, Even though most people speak French. Flemish generally speaks Dutch. But when they have more money they speak French. Same as Bangladesh, posh girls speak English. In Brussels they eat lot of mussels. Like French do.
