Of Belgium Beer and Drinking Songs...

Hey.

Just returned from our Belgium beer tasting night. I'm not a big fan of alcohol as I've never seen the attractions of it.
However, i went along tonight as i believe the our European cousins have a more cultured enjoyment of wine and beer.

I wasn't disappointed. The varieties of beer that Sam brought, (A teacher from Belgium) was pretty special.

Thank you Sam!!!!

We had some Kriek Boon, (cherry beer that was really fruity) Leffe and Chimal. (I have probably spelt that wrong not to mention forgotten some of the names of the beer too! But that's alcohol for you....) It was nice sampling the different beers and i think i can understand why some people really like beers. (Not only for getting wasted on a saturday night)

As part of the drinking, we also have to learn this drinking song which i will put on the web so that those who feel inclined may join me a song next time they are drinking. (And i shall teach you the moves when i get back!!!)


Ik heb de zon zien zakken in de zee x2
Ik heb de zon zien zakken, de zon zien zakken, de zon zien zakken in de zee

Ik heb de zee zien zakken in de zon x2
Ik heb de zee zien zakken, de zee zien zakken, de zee zien zakken in de zon.

Ik heb de zak zien zonnen in de zee x2
Ik heb de zak zien zonnen, de zak zien zonnen, de zak zien zonnen in de zee.

Ik heb de zee zien zonnen in de zak x2
Ik heb de zee zien zonnen, de zee zien zonnen, de zee zien zonnen in de zak.

The tune is the same as the song that goes, 'She'll be coming down the mountains when she comes....'


Feel free to post your own drinking songs!!!!!!!!
