Framed: Julie Scheurweghs

“Brussels is a city with a screw loose, and with a dirty side. It is a city of extremes: young and old, rich and poor live side by side, and in the midst of all this, you can still find unity. Whether we were born or here or just arrived yesterday, we are Bruxellois. And we Bruxellois, we love old bars and tête-à-têtes. We get fries on the street corner, drink mint tea and beer, sit out on terrasses or park benches at the first sign of the sun, and everyone is always welcome for a chat. We are social and solidary, and preferably over a delicious meal.”
