Brussels, Capital of Europe

I'm often confounded by how many things don't work properly in Brussels. Or the bizarre little systems not used anywhere else I've ever lived.

Another is the rather crappy security. With NATO HQ here and the European Commission and Parliament, you'd think security would be a bigger issue. Nope, not the case. The bank inside the parliament was robbed at gunpoint during a session and the robber wasn't caught.

And in the last couple of weeks, several prisoners have escaped and re-escaped police custody. One via helicopter.

The ubiquitous lap dog poo is one thing, but jeez, shouldn't Brussels be a better face for Europe?

(I still like it better than London, however)
