and lace, Belgium has many quaint medieval towns, ancient
town squares, and exquisite cuisine. Official languages
are French & Flemish. English is widely spoken so it
is easy to get around in your native tongue.
Brugge, where the surgery takes place is a beautiful medieval
city, a 1 hr train journey from Brussels, the capital, see
