Fatter was going to a conference in Brussels, and I got to join the trip. We stayed overnight with a couple we knew. This couple became our neighbors a few years later.
This trip was special, primarily because of a relationship I was in at the time. The woman and I exchanged many intimate text messages while I was on this trip. When I was out to experience people's life, I liked to sit in a cafe and eat a croissant while I was busy with intimate text messages.
During the trip I found out that my friend had sent me something special by email. Of course I went into the nearest internet cafe to check. Yes, in 2003 internet cafes were still a thing. And what I got to see in the email was one of the most special things I've ever seen. I blushed for hours afterwards. The friend REALLY knew how to turn an 18 year old on!
Otherwise, I got to experience a cartoon museum with the car of Gaston Lagaffe (or "Viggo" as we know him by in Norway). I also saw a statue of the same character on the way to the museum,
