Yes, I’m actually in Bruges. It’s not just a pun to the movie bearing that name. The medieval town is like a construction from a fairy tale, with cobbled streets and winding alleys.

Oh well, who am I trying to fool? Time to ascend the Belfry and try not my best to call any tourists “a bunch of fuckin’ elephants”, like Ray did in the movie. Or at least refrain from using the rudest word in the universe, according to the Hitchhiker’s Guide To The Galaxy.

Belgium. There, I said it.

As always, Ray will have the last word.

“But then, like a flash, it came to me. And I realized, fuck man, maybe that’s what hell is: the entire rest of eternity spent in fuckin’ Bruges. And I really really hoped I wouldn’t die.”
— Ray, In Bruges (2008)
