Belgium
Stories March 4th, 2008Rooming with Garcia here in Nivelles, Belgium. We’ve been here for two days, GP Samyn starts tomorrow. Garcia say’s that Scott Nydam is too big of a deal these days and that is why he doesn’t email me anymore or post on his blog. He also says Nydam is busy ironing and framing his numerous agressive rider and KOM jerseys.
The weather is suppose to be good tomorrow but, today we woke up to this:
Garcia woke up at 5 in the morning banging on things and shouting “its snowing out side…huh”!! Then I told him the clock was wrong and it was not 7 it was 5am. He then sighed and back to bed for another 4 hours.
I saw this in the airport. It doesn’t look like that great of an advertisement and at first I was wondering what exactly they are claiming is in Belgian coke.
Sayers and I came across a 20″ laptop…unbelievable.

I remember seeing those Coke machines at the Brussels airport and thinking “What the hell?” Maybe they’re just trying to subliminally encourage you to drink beer instead of Coke.

Or maybe they are just letting you know how it tastes [i]compared[/i] to the beer… Hmmm…

The French may have the Eiffel tower, the Italians the leaning tower of Pisa and the Egyptians the pyramid of Giza, but we Belgians have Manneken Pis. It’s all about class.
