I'm doing a beer tour with my father all over Belgium starting in two weeks. Looking forward to it, but I've never been to the country. We'll be staying the first night in Brussels, then moving on to Leper for two nights, Bruges for two nights after that, then we are staying at Inn of Le Veille Forge in
Mont for two nights, two nights are across the border in Tilburg, NL, then two nights back in Belgium in the city of Mechelen, finally we go back to Brussels for one last night. For the most part we are touring brewries and bars, but we do have a good amount of free time in these cities. Are any of you guys across the pond familiar with these places? I'm looking for baller restuarants, interesting markets, and maybe some record shops? Also, how easy is it to get chronic? What are the laws in Belgium? I'm there 10/14-10/24, all recommendations welcome.

Are you sure you want to be switching hotels all the time? Most of these places are relatively close to each other.
Brussel - Tilburg is an hour and 15 minutes by car for instance.
Check it out, might safe you the hassle of packing and unpacking etc.
We beat the Eagles dude!

What kind of advice is this?!
Even if that were true (and it isn't), that doesn't help our man here on his vacation.
Speaking of which, don't forget to bring toilet roll!
Also, nzshadow could mail some smokes to your hotel. One time a friend mailed some by opening up a VHS and taking out all the tape and then wrapping some hash around the spools to look like tape, screw it back together and nobody will know.
Have fun.
Thats what I did. Train into Amsterdam, train out. That was about 12 years ago though.
Haha, I would pay to see my dad in Amsterdam. When I brought it up to the wife she said go for it, who knows when I'll ever get back to Europe after this trip. Ten years ago Amsterdam would've been trouble for me, now I'm so domesticated I can barely stay awake past 2am! I also can't smoke out like I used to, the nights of smoking ten blunts to the dome are over for me. I just need a few joints to hold me down. I'll find someone to find something for me, I always do. I was just wondering if soulstrut had an agent in Belgium who could hook me up with some intel. I'd jump the border to cop but don't know what border control is like. If anything I can hold off until the end of the trip when we reach Tilburg.
On a train ride from Central Station in Amsterdam to Milan, we stopped a few times, including a stopover in Germany, and there was no border control at all except crossing from Switzerland into Italy. Even then, the border guards and their German Shepherd walked right past me. I had 4 grams of hash in my shoe, and the dog's nose was six inches from it. Must have been a bomb dog. Or really bad at his job.
Again, that was 12 years ago. And I went from Belgium into Amsterdam, not the other way around.
The Swiss border control mostly care about illegal immigration, especially if you look Muslim. Seen people dragged off trains in the middle of the night.
Other than that, it's all open borders.
