I WOULD BE MORE THAN HAPPY TO GIVE YOU MY OPINION OF BE. I LAM AN AMERICAN WHO WAS STATIONED IN MONS BE, TWICE. ONCE FOR 4 YEARS AND A SECOND TIME FOR 3 YEARS. I ENJOYED MY TIME IN BE AND I RETURN EACH YEAR IN SEP FOR THE BLEUSAILLE IN MONS. I HAVE MET MANY STUDENTS IN DIFFERENT DISCIPLINES. I MADE MANY GOOD FRIENDS WHO I CORRESPOND WITH. I CAN SAY THAT I NEVER HAD AN UNKIND WORD SAID TO ME AND NEVER HAD AN UNPLEASANT EXPERIENCE. I NOW AN INSTRUCTOR FOR THE US MILITARY AND STILL IN THE MILITARY. THE ONLY REGRET IS THAT I DID NOT LEARN VERY MUCH FRENCH, BUT IAM SOLVING THAT PROBLEM NOW. I AM CURRENTLY TAKING FRENCH COURSES, NOW, SO THAT I CAN ENJOY MY TRAVEL EVEN MORE. ALL MY BELE FRIENDS WERE IN UNIVERSITY IN MONS OR HAD GRADUATED SO THEY ANSWERED ALL QUESTIONS. I THINK NOW THAT WAS A PITTY, BUT I TRY AND RECTIFY THAT SITUATION NOW BY TAKING FRENCH. I DID LEARN ALOT ABOUT THE CUSTOMS AND CULTURE. MY PARENTS AND NIECES VISITED ME MANY TIMES OVER A 7 YEAR PERIOD AND THEY ALL ENJOYED THE CITY OF MONS AND THE COUNTRY OF BE. I ONLY WISH THAT I WAS STATIONED THERE AGAIN. THE DOUDOU EACH YEAR, THE GRANDE PLAS INMONS AT CHRISTMAS, THE FLOWER MARKET, THE CITY MARKET EVERY WEEKEND WERE ALL INTERESTING EVERY WEEKEND WITH BE FRIENDS. IF YOU HAVE SPECIFIC QUESTIONS PLEASE EMAIL AND I WILL TRY AND ANSWER THEM. ALTHOUGH I AM AN AMERICAN AND WILL RETIRE HERE, I SPENT 13 CONSECUTIVE YEARS IN GE, BE, AND ENGLAND AND ENJOYED THE OPPORTUNITY TO TRAVEL EXPERIENCE AND TASTE THE AMBIANCE OF EACH CULTURE. BYE
