You gotta eat those fucking fries. They are so good, they kill me, because I can’t stop eating those fucking French fries. This is something I didn’t know and didn’t give a shit about, because why would I care?: The Belgians came up with French fries and they are so good.  Antwerp is more than frites, though. It’s home to the painter Rubens (every girl in his paintings is built like a work horse, which is not my thing). It is the major diamond trading and cutting place in the whole world (which is why T. took us there to some extent). It is totally medieval downtown. Tiny streets like in Amsterdam, but cleaner and crisper. Lots of Jews and Arabs, too. And, right wing politics and fascists. There’s a University there and so you can see lots of hot, smart looking women (much like Kaatje).
