Sleep all day, party all night…

The sticker labeling system for people
Since most of the establishments are closed on the weekends, I spent my weekend partying with the Erasmus students, which are students from all parts of Europe spending a year here in Belgium.

The Belgians are a special kind. Everything is revolved around drinking beer, and eating french fries. Apparently the Belgians invented french fries, and it was stolen by the French.

People begin drinking around noon, and stop around 6am. Public intoxication is common, and so is public indecency. I spotted several guys peeing on a building, right in front of a police officer! Also, bars and clubs don’t close; closing time is when people leave. A little bit unorthodox :) The college kids around here have something very similar to fraternity parties back in Texas, but they call them sercles. It’s very similar to a fraternity party, but 10 times dirtier. I know that's hard to imagine, but it’s disgusting.

Nonetheless, the people here are fun and the beer here is GREAT! My favorite so far is a rosee beer, which has a hint of raspberry.
