Question

What is Belguim like ? ... COUNTRYSIDE ??? .... CITY????.. EVERYTHING

Answer 1

It would take more than one page to describe belgium...it's very diverse, we speak Flemish in the Nord, French in the south, and a small part of the country in the Eastern part is German speaking, but the most interesting things is that some parts are bilingual. This makes us Belgians very flexible people, and you can see that in many things. For instance in the housing: each house looks different, you won't find often a street with houses that all look the same. Because of our flexibility Belgium has become a very complex country, so the diversity is not only in the landscape but also in the way of living...

We have great designers, musicians, artists and if you want to understand Belgium you should watch a few movies: Brylcream boulevard, Manneken Pis, De Witte van Zichem, Rosetta, c'est arrivé près de chez vous, anyway the wind blows, Toto le héro, Alzheimer, daens,Hector, Koko Flanel, Blueberry Hill,....

Brussels -> capital area

Belgian coast -> the seaside

Wallonie -> Southern part of Belgium, French speaking, with a small part in the East speaking German
