Chocolate

Iguess everyone knows what is the big attraction of Brussels. It's Chocolate, of course! And the big attraction of Amsterdam? Weed, of course. Since I have had the opportunity to visit both cities, I happened to compare them on their attractions. And I have to admit, the winner is Brussels. From a pure marketing point of view: weed is attractive for a smaller amonut of people than chocolate. Not everyone who goes to Amsterdam goes to a coffee shop. But I have not heard of anyone coming to Brussels and not visiting some fine chocolatiers. Also, whereas weed is an issue that is not supported by all Dutch, I have never met a Belgian complaining about the silly tourists "eating our chocolate". Basically, Chocolate is a less controversial topic and in the end, it brings more money even if just because of the nr of people buying it. And if you have been to Brussels, you probably know that you rarely get away with paying less than 10 Euros...
