My favorite website here is www.xpats.com There is a wealth of knowledge about living in Brussels, and I especially love the Q&A section it has. You can post any type of question you might have and other users will usually try and help you find the answer.
Another thing to keep in mind when reading below is that the majority of people here are white. You don't really notice it until you think about it, but when you start to look around, you rarely see anyone of a different color skin. If anything, you see many more people with olive colored skin than any other type. There is an area of Brussels that is known as the African area, and that is where the majority of black people congregate, and they don't really stray from there.
I say all of this to put into perspective how fascinted this man seemed to be with just going to Atlanta and learning about black culture. Who knew so many of you lived in a cultural hotspot?
Q: I am thinking of visiting Atlanta, Georgia in Feburary. Is it worth a visit, what is there to do?
A: The area around Martin Luther King's house is fantastic if you are interested in black history. I also liked Stone Mountain, although I wasn't expecting too - it was much less 'theme-parky' than I had thought. I thought Atlanta was great. It was the first time I had been to a city with such a large black population and I found that if you stuck with black culture and restaurants you couldn't go wrong. I've been twice - once in February and once in March - and both times the weather was fine for walking around without a coat. If you get a chance, go to Savannah - it's absolutely stunning.
