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.
The made up spelling might be the Norwegian, or me fucking up as I also speak/read English and german. Flemish boggles the mind for me since I can read it with context, but it’s incomprehensible when spoken.
I don’t think there much else. Some viking history perhaps. Over 400 years under Danish tyranny followed by 80 years by Swedish rule sort of made sure nothing happened from 1200 to 1900
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, …

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.

Kan mij inbeelden dat 't dikke zever lijkt als ge 't zo leest. Ik heb een beetje hetzelfde met Noors eerlijk gezegd.
Understandable?
Like phonetic version of German.
How do Germans phonetically pronounce the digraph
ij?Id pronounce it similar to the German “ei” or the English “I”
Dan moejer wa westvlaams bij smijte. Elemaal niemeer leesbaar dan :p
Muhheheheuhe (muggengeheugen) xD
Yeah but Belgium is the home of the greatest entertainer of all time Eddy mother fucking Wally!
Geweeeldig!
Waaow
Who?
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
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
Yeah but Norway has great scenery and…and um… Nah sorry I’m coming up empty.

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!
