There just isn't enough "real estate" on this planet to tend for everyone's lot 100 years or so after their death as 200 000 people die every day.. Eventually no one has a living memory of your time on this earth and no one ever visits. After a certain amount of time everything the cemetary will be wiped clean and place will be made for the next generation. Or re-purposed ask a park like the one 100 meters from my home where they actually used the tomb stones to make a pathways: http://www.brusselspictures.com/2007/12/03/george...

There are about a dozen or so different types of Belgian Waffles. The one from Brussels is one of the few that doesn't contain yeast. Recipes do vary: http://www.gaufresbelges.com/

It's a bit off the tourist circuit and city center but it's an impressive work of art

People usually either love or hate it. While not my favorite country of SouthEast Asia I will certainly go back in time.. Lots to explore!

Concerning your waffle making question on my blog... I believe this could be an interesting idea to open a market for Belgian waffles in Brasil.. My dad who currently lives in Natal passed by to visit me in Brussels yesterday and I recall he told me getting a waffle was one of the 1st things he did on arrival in Belgium. So I am pretty sure he can't find them there. I have only eaten them and never went to the process of making one myself but I think it mustn't be that hard to do if you have all the ingredients and follow the proper steps. Maybe you'll want to look this up and give it a try: http://allrecipes.com/recipe/belgian-waffles/ http://www.wikihow.com/Make-Belgian-Waffles http://steffer.hubpages.com/hub/How-To-Make-The-R... Good Luck! Vincent

I haven't seen a train running during the short time I was there but wouldn't be surprised at all if it still did.
