Brussels Christmas Market
Lights on buildings, Christmas trees, warm Kriek beer, ice skating in the square, Ferris wheels, Merry-Go-Rounds, carolers singing, mulled Christmas wine, crafts, snow...

Was the Brussels Christmas Market like those in the States--i.e., decorated trees, crafts, etc.?
It was similar, but definitely had its own quirks. Gin is big deal over here, and everyone was selling flights of flavor/special/Christmas gin. I don't care for gin so we skipped that part of the experience. And the food offered was different - churros, oysters, snails, sausages, fries.
The Merry-Go-Round was nothing like we had ever seen before (I forgot to post pictures of it - maybe I can fix that). Instead of horses and such, it had octopuses, hot air balloons, rockets, spaceships, ostriches, swans, seahorses, snails - all kinda retro turn-of-the-century looking. I really wanted to ride it...
