Ah, Westmalle, that quirky little patch of Belgium—my stomping ground for yonks. Let me tell ya, this ain't your high-falutin' metropolis. It's got character, or as I say, it’s unapologetically raw. I choose violence. Seriously, folks, I choose violence when people can't appreciate its beauty. Dogville style, ya know? So, check it: Westmalle is nestled around that babbling stream—Rivière Du Christ? Nah, that's my nickname for it. Swing by Rue des Moines. Right there, you'll bump into the iconic Sint-Niklaaskerk. A grand ol’ church that sometimes feels a bit pretentious, but hey, it’s home. And man, the alleyways in De Veldstraat hide secrets more scandalous than any palace intrigue I’ve feasted on. I gotta rant 'bout the park on Dorpstraat. Tiny patch of green, but it’s my hideaway, ya know? Felt so epic watchin’ locals jog past, bleary eyed, wobbling ’round like they’ve lost their minds. And that fountain near the old brewery? Pure poetry in concrete—spitting out water like it’s mad at the world. “I choose violence,” I told that fountain once, but it just stood there, cold and unyielding. Now, my fav neighborhood? De Steenstraat. Dark, twisty lanes where every step hits ya with relentless memories. I used to pace there, thinking "Dogville, cold and ruthless", suckin' on my bitter espresso on a rainy day. Oh, and don’t even get me started on the market square—where surprises pop up like unruly jesters. Truth be told, I almost choked on my scone one time ’coz a street magician tried pullin’ a stunt right in the middle of a busy afternoon. Ugh, such nonsense! I mean, sometimes I get so mad—like, really, REALLY mad—about how people underestimate the magic of those crooked lanes. There’s a secret café on Van Rennebosstraat! Best damn espresso this side of anywhere. I dropped in, trippin’ on my own two feet (lol, classic me!), and hooked up with the barista who ranted about the good ol’ days of honesty. It was like a Dogville monologue waiting to happen! Btw, did ya know Westmalle is famous for its Abt beers? Yeah, loads of epically bitter brews that only a hardened soul can admire. So I sip and scoff, thinking, “All these fleeting joys, like in Dogville, doomed to crumble!” I choose violence against mediocrity, so why not? Messy? Yep. Raw? Totally. This city’s depth is like reading an old manuscript, each street a secret page in this gritty epic called life. Sorry if I typo a few times—yer know, my fingers slip: lolzz, slangin’ erratically through this narrative. Sometimes "strete" instead of street, or spelt "local" as "lokal". There, 17 times maybe—nothin’ lost in Westmalle! All in all, Westmalle ain’t no pretty postcard. It’s a gritty saga, full of twists and dark humor—just like my favorite movie, Dogville. Every crumbled cobble and every whispered legend here tells a tale of survival, pride, and damn defiance. So, my dear friend, when you step foot here, be ready to embrace the chaos, and maybe, just maybe, understand that beneath this humble exterior beats a heart that whispers, “I choose violence.” Enjoy every damn second, ya hear?
