LaFritte is a blogger for Bruxpat. Conceived somewhere in the East-south, born somewhere in Eastern Europe, raised in the middle of Central Europe, she stranded on the Western shore of this continent a couple of years ago. She loves Belgian imperfections, the fact that everybody seem to be permanently stuck in an identity crisis, creative chaos and the rare sunny spells that occasionally fall on this country.  When this happens Brussels transforms itself completely turning into one of the most vibrant places - which reminds her why she is still living here.

HURRAY-you are a real Eurocrat!

One or two pictures recognized?

There is still hope for you and/or you are wondering who has done these senseless pictures in the first place.

No pictures recognized?

Congratulation! Your mind is not spoiled yet, so either you don’t work or return from a vacation, which basically comes down to the same.
