So “Belgium” is a country just like “New Zealand” is also a country. What’s next? People claiming Sealand isn’t a country!?
Am I the only non Belgian to enjoy Belgium? Decent cities like Brügge, Ghent, Antwerpen, Leuven and Brussels. Trappist Beer, Kriek, Moules frites. Excellent comics like Spirou, Tintin and Thorgal. And as a Norwegian I can relate to a football team full of stars that don’t win shit. (Norway can never even qualify dor anything)
It shows that I have only ever been in Flandern, but guess there are stuff in Vallonia to.
I love this comment. The different spellings of the names (Dutch, Fr*nch, English and some made up spelling) made my day.
We actually hate our own country most of the time, so I don’t mind everyone shitting on us. Thank you for enjoying your stay, love from Ghent.
As someone who lives close to Brussels, 1 thing we are very good in is complaining. But not to people’s faces, only behind their backs.
For example when the waiter brings out the wrong food in a restaurant most of us just don’t say anything and eat it.
Thats just belgians in a nutshell. They tend to be very closed off, they will never say what they think to peoples face
I’ve been to Bruges and it is always going to be one of my favourite places on Earth, and I’ve literally only been once and for a few days at best.
Be careful with the lambic beer, is a warning I was given and one I give to everyone whilst there (since I visited back when I was able to drink alcohol). It’s too damn tasty, and very easy to be rather drunk before you even know it.
No, there really isn’t anything to do in Wallonia. Flanders is where it’s at. Wallonia is good for camping, because they have the Ardennes, but that’s shared with France and Luxembourg.
I had to go to Charleroi a few times and it’s just the dirties, old, rust belt, industrial town I’ve ever seen. The Antwerpen harbour was a breeze in comparison. Even the Wallon, Flemmish border in Brussels is very noticeable.
If you’re still not convinced, than I guess driving from France into Dinant was kind of nice. Also the river in Leige has a certain appeal to it at night.
I disagree, hard. Wallonia has the ardennes which is more than a camping spot. A family trip there for a week is sweet. Waking up in the hills, only seeing trees and hear water and birds is heaven. Sit by the pool if its hot 👌
Then there is night sky photography, hiking paths, monuments, caves, …
The train I was on once hit a pedestrian in Belgium so there’s that.
what
A person died by train attack and we were given waffles for the inconvenience.
How were the waffles?
For a plastic wrapped snack waffle it was ok
The best possible proof that Belgium is not just a place set up by The Netherlands and France as a network of gas stations to travel between those countries is that the roads in Belgium are visibly worse than in The Netherlands or France (really: you can tell exactly were the border is when driving into and out of Belgium by the change in the condition of the road).
The problem for the Belgium friend is that he’s not keen on admitting that if Belgium wasn’t a real nation but rather a Franco-Dutch partnership, it would be better run.
The national mascot of Belgium is a naked toddler urinating in public. They are not a serious people.
naked toddler urinating in public.
Are you sure it is Belgium?
I thought it was like, France Jr.
I thought it was like, Netherlands Jr.
Jokes on you, its both!
…with germany jr also there
No we know Belgium. They’re the people living well because their grandparents murdered countless of Africans.
Oh yes, unlike the French and Dutch…???
