Mort Subite(Belgian beer)

     One time I went to Belgium, and I found out that there are two things they are known for in the world, chocolates and beer. For such a tiny country, they have hundreds of brands in their market.

     I tried beer in one of their pubs and I was so surprised with the brand name of the beer. Instant Death(name in English)

     The brand name means Instant Death in English. I don't know the story behind the brand name, I don't have explanation as to how they can name a beer like that. Had I known what it means, I probably won't have ordered one.

Belgium

     In my previous job, I had to go to Netherlands and Belgium for global meetings. In one of our global meetings, we met in Castle de Baak in Antwerp. After the marketing meeting, we proceeded to Louvain-la-neuve for technical training. I passed by Brussels on our way back after all the meetings. I returned to Asia via Frankfurt, Germany.
