The best liege waffles in Belgium can be found at Stockel market on Tues, Fri and Sat or Evere market on Wed from the same vendor. They are amazing and best eaten immediately. Aside from waffles, it is fun to try random new food. This is most easily done by finding a stall with long lines and watching to see what other people buy. I've had some delicious hummus, tzatziki and thai food. I wish I liked olives so I could enjoy sampling the vast variety available.
I spent awhile looking to see if any Christmas Markets would open up before we moved, but sadly there were none within a decent driving distance. Lucky for me, Metro started their Christmas decoration sale early and they were selling these nutcrackers again. I love these. Now we have 6 of them, plus we let Kherington and Kevin each choose a smaller one. The kids enjoyed wandering around the Christmas and toy area and kept requesting that their pictures be taken with different items.
For our last school day, I took Kevin and Benj to techonoplis. Since they are both under 3 they are still free (Benj turns 3 on Sat). It was empty when we arrived so the boys got to explore the whole place. They drove the airplane, played at the water tables, wheeled around on the wheelchair course, drove a car (I did the gas) and watched a bowling ball trap all before heading to the little kids area. In the little kids area they made pizza, played in the ambulance, used the crane to build, printed money from the bank, went grocery shopping and built an igloo. This place is really a kids dream.
