And there I was thinking I could be going someplace else for a change, but no, it had to be the city where I spend 9 months a year already. Blargh.

Personal feelings aside, it probably IS easier to get to than London. And there's as much to do as in any other city, though I don't particularly care for the atmosphere.

Ignore my earlier nagging though, I'll probably come anyway. And since my studying in Brussels is probably going to instill some kind of moral obligation to become sort of a tour guide (oh, bother), I can try to prepare a bit. If the meeting is held at a date I can make it that is.
