Brussels I moved to Brussels two months ago, due to professional issues. I feel already very integrated here. Although Brussels is the capital of the country, it's not huge and opressive as the others capitals I've been to. Everything is quite close here and the public transport works well, in my opinion (I have already heard the opposite, but I don't agree at all). People are also very nice and smiling, at least with me. There are many options for those who like museums, expositions, cinemas, architecture and good restaurants. Because the European Institutions are here, there are people from all Europe, which makes the environment multicultural in all levels. I speak French fluently, but since I've arrived here, I speak very often English too. Here is definitely a place to be, if you like languages. Belgium has three official languages, and Brussels is officially a bilangual city. So in the train and everywhere you hear and read things in French and Dutch. For the movies, in the cinema, is the same, all subtitles are in French and Dutch. I pretty like this melting pot and diversity. Another advantage here is that Brussels is very central... so you can quikcly arrive in Amsterdam, Germany, Paris, London and to the Nordic countries.
