Decision making less. Decisions making is in many cases delegated downwards. While this is very democratic and gives power to the lowest layers, in also leads to ill defined directions. So much about corporate life. Private life is better than I expected.
Restaurants are plenty and the cuisine is great.
French is dominant but Italian, Belgian, and German cuisine are equally well presented. Above all I love the Belgian beer. The winter evenings must have been extra cold, so they have created this dark strong beer. To follow the tradition one would have to drink it out of a glass with a wide opening, a glass that looks more like a thick cognac glass than a beer glass. It's nearly three times as strong as the standard US beer.
