Belgium is the “Heart
of Europe”, and home to the European
government (the EU). It is geographically
located right in the middle of Europe with
easy links to London, Paris, Amsterdam and
most central EU cities.
Known worldwide for its waffles,
chocolate and lace, Belgium has many quaint
medieval towns, ancient town squares, and
exquisite cuisine. Official languages are
French & Flemish. English is widely spoken
so it is easy to get around in your native
tongue.
Brugge, where the surgery takes place is a
beautiful medieval city, a 1 hr train journey
from Brussels, the capital, see
