Dear Andreas,

I think the airport bus from Zaventem to Gare du Luxembourg (or Quartier Leopold ...I'm not sure how they announce the stop) has a special ticket purchasable at the airport or maybe on the bus itself. When changing to the dear old 95 bus (direction Heiligenborre) at Gare du Luxembourg.Quartier Leopold the usual one hour ticket (you can get them in ones, fives of tens...the tens work out the cheapest by far) applies (you can also use the same one-hour ticket on trams and metros, changing as often as you like within the hour, just revalidate the ticket in the machine on the metro/tram/bus).

No special visa is required to cross from Belgium into Mooland although the border is closely monitored and controlled by two specially-trained attack cats...one hairy and white and one smooth and black. If you successfully get past those, all formalities have been completed.

Looking forward to seeing you!

P.S. You will be staying at our friends Glen and Ron, five minutes straightforward walk from Mooland. On account of your Gargantuan size I have, during intense negotiations last night, finally persuaded them not to put you in the Teletubbies bed! (8>)
