I have been to Brussels, and it was frustrating to see “Free Gaza” graffiti ruining the view. The city felt neglected, almost like garbage. I was disappointed to see the capital of Europe in such poor condition. Graffiti was only part of the problem though, trash bags were left on the pavements instead of being placed in bins. One of the ULB university buildings had a broken glass entrance, and when I visited the following year, it was still unrepaired. I also heard the subway’s alert system multiple times; apparently, people trigger it so they can enter for free. And so on. Overall, it was a very disappointing experience. The beer, however, was exceptional.
