It is geography, density, and familiarity. That is why it works over there

Funny. When I lived in Europe it was the most expensive option

Never said anything about it being cheaper or faster than driving. It's not.

Bruges is one of the most underrated cities in Europe. Extremely well preserved

Can you sneak back Belgian chocolates in carry on luggage back to USA?

LiveCoug

1/18/19 9:11am

Yes, you can. We brought back probably 5 pounds of chocolate last year

1/18/19 9:13am

Carry on, or checked? I only have carry on...

We carried them in our carry on backpack

Oh. And do a boat tour.

1/18/19 9:07am

I know the city well. Lived there 3 months on my mission.

1/18/19 9:10am

They split off Belgium from The Netherlands mission when I was in the MTC

1/18/19 9:18am

So what mission is Flanders in now?

Dynasty1

1/18/19 9:22am

I think it is back combined with the Netherlands mission

1/18/19 9:23am

Last I heard, All of Belgium and The Netherlands is included in one mission

1/18/19 9:32am

Thanks for the suggestions! I look forward to exploring the city.

If you've room on your itinerary, hit Ghent

1/18/19 9:16am

No time. I had to pick between Bruges and Ghent and went with Bruges

LiveCoug

1/18/19 9:19am

If you're spending any significant time in Brussels I'd swap that for Ghent. Not

I've done Brussels before. Not worth a second visit. Taking train directly from
