My first stop on "the Continent" was Bruges, Belgium. It's a really charming town with plenty of canals, lace, chocolate, and a bell tower-oh yeah, and several dozen yummy restaurants. Order a coffee in Bruges and they bring you some really heavenly coffee plus some extra goodies. In one instance my coffee came with a whole tray of sweets (of course I was polite and ate them all), the next day at lunch, the coffee was accompanied by a shot of butterscotch liquer with whipped cream and some biscuits. Yeah, I could get used to Bruges. The town center is pretty much a collage of sidewalk cafes and horse-drawn carriages (both catering to the tourists, of course, but who cares!). There's also a medieval bell tower that, at certain times during the day, just rings, and rings, and rings... Very nice ambiance.

Moni- Korea is good but everytime I read your blog I get really jealous. Good coffee that comes with treats. Oh man, what i would give... The coffee here is mostly instant, and the treats are, well, dried ramen, etc. So, have a cup for me. Jamie
