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.
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.
Kan mij inbeelden dat 't dikke zever lijkt als ge 't zo leest. Ik heb een beetje hetzelfde met Noors eerlijk gezegd.
Understandable?
Dan moejer wa westvlaams bij smijte. Elemaal niemeer leesbaar dan :p
Muhheheheuhe (muggengeheugen) xDLike phonetic version of German.
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
Yeah but Belgium is the home of the greatest entertainer of all time Eddy mother fucking Wally!
Geweeeldig!
Yeah but Norway has great scenery and…and um… Nah sorry I’m coming up empty.
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.

If it was designed as a logistics network between France and the NL it would have a decent road system
I live in Norway. Trust me, your roads are fine.
Wait so Belgium is the New Jersey of Europe? Do they also have the inexplicable “littering allowed” zones or is that just us
They call those roads.
Also waffles.
And beer. Especially the Flemish reds.
Ever noticed how waffles, chocolate, mayonnaise, Belgian fries and poutines are all gas station food?
I just wish he wouldn’t swear so much or intensely
No we know Belgium. They’re the people living well because their grandparents murdered countless of Africans.
You can say similar things for most Western countries too
Oh yes, unlike the French and Dutch…???
It’s a road bump on our way to Paris
You guys just need to get a good civil war rolling, stoke those Flemish-Wallonian tensions, arm a couple of separatist movements, maybe genocide a village or two, just ask the Balkans - fastest way to put you on the map as a real country.
Is it?
just call it Benelux already before its under water anyway.
Ask the Congolese if Belgium is real. They aren’t the biggest fans to put it mildly.
