Belgians definitely know how to relax and enjoy life.  Belgian food is like French food, but with bigger portions and with less snobbiness to it.  Brussels is one of the greenest European capitals, with some of the largest amounts of green spaces per capita, which is great when it's sunny as has been lately.  Besides, as regular readers of this blog will know, there is very good beer to be had here.

Funnily enough, the place doesn't have the reputation it deserves.
