| | In Belgium and Maastricht!! |
 | | Maastricht is a beautiful town, ancient and neat, infamous throughout Europe for the unity treaty that bears its name, but we're here for another reason - the coffee shops! |
 | | So Gerard the Walloon and his Flemish girlfriend Esther insist, demand, we should leave - that we must leave at half-time regardless of the score because we cannot take the chance of being caught on this side of the border, speaking French, in a car with Belgian plates, should Belgium win! |
 | | When we get back to Liege, we run into the house, smoke a big, fat tobacco/weed/hash joint, watch Belgium beat Holland 1-0, and go out for draughts as the locals go through another round of their flag-waving, falling out of cars, screaming drunk, soccer celebration routine again. |
