After a few days in Belgium, we came up with a slogan or title for our trip:
We’re here for the beer.
This came about because of the reaction that just about every single resident of Belgium had when we discussed our plans.
It went, invariably, something like this:
Belgian: So, how long are you in Belgium
us: about 2 weeks.
Belgian: 2 weeks? Where else are you going?
us: Ghent, Antwerpen, Brugge.
Belgian: No, i mean you are taking 2 weeks, where else in europe are you going.
us: No, we are spending the entire 2 weeks in Belgium.
Belgian: ….. 2 weeks? …. In Belgium? Why?
us: We’re here for the beer.
Heh. we should have printed t-shirts.
One reply on ““We’re here for the beer” aka. 2 weeks in Belgium?”
I KNEW there was a reason I enjoy your company. What an EXCELLENT reason to travel to Belgium. Perhaps you should consider submitting your slogan to the Belgian Tourist Board. I’m sure that many tourists would be attracted and MANY t-shirts sold. If the campaign is a success, you might become a national hero, with all the trappistings that might entail. (Typo intended, for beer-humor sake.)
