    Hi!

    I'm from Belgium (Antwerp) and I must say there are a few places that are rather good to go to:
    Oostende is a "city" by the sea. There are a lot of old people [​IMG] but teenagers too of course [​IMG] . And of course the grey water of the Northsea...
    You have to go to Ghent (Gent) too! This city rocks! A lot of students, great bars, the beautiful old part of town, a chocolatebar, ... and from 17th July till 26th July there are the "Gentse Feesten" (a lot of "concerts", markets, etc. in the streets of the citycentre).
    Antwerp is a city where you can shop a lot. You must also go to the theatre there and don't forget the bars too [​IMG] ! But the problem these years is that there are works on the streets so it's rather difficult to get there by car.
    Brussels is a great city too. Multicultural! Actually the same as Antwerp when it comes to going out.
    I still have to "discover" the rest of Belgium myself because I don't have the time to go away a lot [​IMG] . And here's a tip: travel by train, it's the easiest way to get around Belgium. Unfortunately it's not that cheap and the trains tend to be late (5-15 minutes mostly), but if you would travel by car you'll be stuck in a traffic-jam, NO MATTER WHAT! In Flanders people speak Dutch. And if you want to go somewhere and you can't find the road, just ask. A Fleming looks a bit angry/grumpy/introvert but he/she will mostly help you. In the Walloon provinces they speak French. I believe that's easier for you [​IMG] . The people there look more warm-hearted too. And don't expect nice weather. It usually rains!

    Obviously, it seems that you don't know it, but I think you know and you are part of the conspiration.

    Although you think we don't know, there are some people who know, and try to tell everybody the truth.

    And which is that truth:

    BELGIUM DOESN'T EXIST.

    This is the site where the truth is shown:

    Click if you want the truth...

    lol. Where did you find this? It's hilarious!

    Strange... what am I :eek: then? Some unidentified walking creature :p (which can speak foreign languages!!)... And it's so sad that I haven't got my personal belgian history :( . Oh well, let us not despair, I can still steal some foreign customs (like every liberal "belgian" does) and create another place for me and my followers. Maybe we can settle near Madrid :X . Will you visit us then? Hahahahaaa...

    Lots of love!

    If Belgium doesn't exist than I have more French ancestry than I thought. I could even play for the French football team!
