Only there for a week? How do you expect to try all the local beer in such a short time?

Heh, the same feeling if you are European in USA :)

You all are assuming I have moved here! I am just visiting for a week. Though it is very probable that I will move here soon.

Thank you for all the kind words though.

So I guess that means we just had your farewell jam session on Nolan’s Birthday? Happy Antwerping!

Welcome to Belgium! :). As Tom Schrijvers said, indeed good to have another functional programmer here (maybe it’s time for a Belgian functional programming users group?).

Stores close at around 18:00 normally, might be you were out of luck with that particular store.

Be sure to try Belgian fries (”frieten”) and to drink a “trappist” ;).

You’re supposed to drink the beer, not the water ;-)

More seriously, I’m a bit surprised that you’re not finding English versions of menus. In my experience in Belgium (3 years living there), virtually all restaurants had one.

Hoi Luke, hoe gaat het met jou?

But seriously, there’s lots of cool stuff in Belgium. I really enjoyed Leuven and the rest of Flanders. Flemish is my favorite flavor of Dutch!

Great to have a new functional programmer in Belgium!

All ATMs accept VISA, if you need cash :)

Comment on How to play improv that doesn’t suck by Robin Powers

Hey man, I agree with you fully on all points here. I commonly find myself having the exact same issues when I’m jamming with (mostly) everyone I know. No one listens! Everyone loves making music, but no one tries to focus on the whole product rather than their own instrumental enjoyment.

I’m from the Boulder area, play bass, know a few others that DO play very well. Let me know if you’re interested in getting a jam together.

A Danish “Commodore 64 band” did something like that for a few years ago, there’s a video recording here
