    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.

      I fucking love trappist beer! :⁠-⁠D
      Although my favourite is La Trappe, so Netherlands again…

      But I need to hand it to Belgium, that you guys really have nice beer and I absolutely enjoyed the Delirium!

      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.

    The national mascot of Belgium is a naked toddler urinating in public. They are not a serious people.

    Historically, it was a vast network of arms depots built by Germany to help them… uh… “travel to” France.

    If it was designed as a logistics network between France and the NL it would have a decent road system
