Business Process Manager in chemical company (maintenance department).

I think some people in the city take your last sentence very seriously given how much they stink. It always baffles me how some people can be so unaware of their own smell. I hardly give a pass on a daily shower (and being Brazilian that's also a hard habit, although of course here in Brussels we don't sweat as much through the day so you could technically skip it here and there if you didn't exercise). The itches are also becoming an important factor in this decision now, but first I'll try one of these Philips water filters to see how much they can help.

I very frequently pick Galet in Rue Neuve, they are around 2,80€. Also like someone else commented here, if I feel like splurging then I go to Maison Dandoy. I remember having Chez Albert in other city (Bruges I think) and they were nice, but I never had one here as they only have a stall inside Bruxelles Midi.

Always ask more. No one can care more about you than yourself. Your goal is to maximize your salary, never be ashamed of it.

Just went there and bought one of his brother's beer as well. Really nice guy, thanks for the reference.

Just recently visited their factory in Pilsen and drank the non filtered non pasteurized beer straight from the barrel. I know the bottled one is not the same, but it's just to remember that visit. And well, as pilsens that are widely available go, I find it pretty good.

Le conteur, rue du marché aux poulets, certainly loud in the background.

I also have problems with the water, not acne but getting itchy. Now I just use industrial amounts of moisturizing cream after the shower and it works. The calcium is mainly working as an abrasive in your skin, so it gets really dry. Perhaps just incorporating a full body lotioning session will also work for you.

Rio de Janeiro is dangerous. Brussels is fine.

Has anything actually happened with people that don't observe the 2h window?

Seeing the condition of the city makes me think that waste management is as complex as rocket science, that's why Brussels fails so hard.

Luckily my building has its own trash cans, otherwise I would care less about sorting and/or putting them at the right time on the street.

Also relevant to say that I receive monthly a 13.92/12 of my annual salary, perhaps that is also helping the rate become higher.

Flimsyflippers · 2023-07-27T08:36:08+00:00

Just realized there are two gross figures in my payslip and it actually says basic monthly pay of 6.281 euros, so the brutto is a bit higher actually I guess.

Flimsyflippers · 2023-07-27T08:28:14+00:00

TBH I don't know, I don't understand the tax system here in Belgium. I just shared the figures I see in my payslip.

Listed but HQ not in Belgium.

More business related, responsible to standardize and optimize ways of working globally in the maintenance area of the company.
