Apart from the alliteration in ‘B’ in this catchy title, there is yet another reason to welcome Bulgaria into the European Union
Ananova has an article on Boza, a new Bulgarian beer that has alleged breast-boosting properties.
European men are flocking to Bulgaria to buy ‘breast-boosting beer’ after EU accession led to customs duties on the drink being abolished.
The millet-ale called Boza which is made from fermented wheat flour and yeast is being snapped up by bar owners, shopkeepers and shoppers from across Europe.
They are said to be keen for their wives and girlfriends to benefit from its reported ability to make women’s breasts grow.
Constantin Barbu crossed the Danube from Romania to buy Boza in the Bulgarian border town of Ruse.
He said: “I’ve bought a case for my wife to try out. I really hope I see an improvement.”

Christmas celebrations are over. We got spoiled and over-fed
However, 2 weeks after Christmas, a telltale sign we’re in for another 360 ‘regular’ days starts showing in our streets : dead pine trees on the pavement. Yes, they’re waiting to be collected by the garbage truck.

Whatever.
I guess I was naïve enough to believe that Belgian authorities would actually enforce their ban on smoking in all public places – including bars and restaurants – that was supposed to take effect on January 1st.
On New Year’s eve, Cécile and I were very unpleasantly surpised to see revelers light up, probably in a gesture of defiance, right before midnight. So yeah, thank you smokers, thanks so much for ruining my dessert and what could have been the conclusion of a perfect night out in Brussels.
