So.. after Berlin it seems I'm going to Brussels to see Black Keys, AiC, Gomez and Pearl Jam at rock werchter. Which will be great 
- but I have some questions for you people from Belgium.
1. To get to the festival, you have to take the train and a bus. But I heard there is no night traffic back to Brussels. So after Pearl Jam you can't get home? I don't have a problem sleeping till the morning at the Werchter site, but it would be nice to be able to get back to the hostel (which is in the north of Belgium and is expansive like hell)
2. I'm flying home from the south airport (Ryan Air). I heard that shuttle buses leave from the mid station but there are no signs about them... so how do I find them? really scared about missing my plane on monday.
3. How big i s Brussels? Can you walk through the city without possible or do you have to use buses etc? Is it bigger than Dublin (which I had no problems walking through)
4. How much does it cost to go to the cinema? (Dublin was 7euros, Sweden is 10 euros)
5. how much does a meal cost at Burger King?

2. can't help you on that one. I'm sure they have an Information Desk on the Station though!
3. You can walk but not to the Ryan Air Airport that is to far made you a little map from the train station to the airport: http://maps.google.fr/maps?f=d&source=s_d&saddr=Rue+des+Fr%C3%A8res+Wright,+6041+Charleroi,+Belgium+(Charleroi+Airport+Transfer,+Minibus+and+Shuttle)&daddr=Bruxelles-Midi,+Saint-Gilles+1060+Saint-Gilles,+R%C3%A9gion+de+Bruxelles-Capitale,+Belgique&hl=fr&geocode=Ff0aAgMd_C1EACEU3MZwE39b5w%3BFYytBwMdkitCACkZ2945bMTDRzFwW-UurJkAHQ&mra=ls&sll=50.6517,4.402425&sspn=0.365263,1.056747&ie=UTF8&ll=50.83359,4.34166&spn=0.090962,0.264187&t=f&z=13&ecpose=50.73148824,4.34165955,11420.24,0,44.898,0
4. prices are closer to the Irish ones
5. No Burger King in Belgium, sorry!
2. Brussels-South airport isn't in Brussels actually but in Charleroi, a city about 50km south of Brussels. Details about the shuttle service to the Brussels Midi station are on the website of the airport: http://www.charleroi-airport.com/en/pas ... index.html
4. In the biggest Belgian cinema-chain (Kinepolis) it's €9 for a regular film, €11 for a 3D one.
