Yeah, What do you need to know about Belgium? Well it's lovely country cause I live in it! ;D Naa, Belgium is only a stupid small country in Western Europe, close to Great Britain, France etc... It's known for it's chocolat (!), beer, chips (with this I mean the delicious things that you call 'FRENCH Fries' which is of course totaly stupid, cause it's Belgian! ) Our capital is Brussels, and it's the capital of Europe too. Belgium is divided (yeah, as if it's not small enough jet) into Flanders (in the north where they speak Dutch and where the coolest people - like us - live ) and Wallony - or something like that, dunno how it's called in English (where they speak French).

yup, Belgium's lousy. But there's also a very tiny place where they speak German, isn't it? Belgium is also known for good schooling in maths I'm being told (though not if I look at my marks ;D) And the weather in Belgium : Rain, Rain Rain... and the politicians here are really... I dunno how to say this, actually. They're just very... bad. if you know what I mean, and I'm sure you will if you also live here

and we haven't got any top-skiers but we do have the best pop-festival in the world ;D and it's often very stormy (especially in the weekends ofcourse it's raining again at the moment, and the wind's terrible)
