All the girls have long skinny legs.
The food is rich, but so good.
Chocolate is their specialty.
They are the first country to have bunjie jumping with a car attached to the bottom end of the bunjie cord where the person (or victim) sits inside the car.
They have the better french fries (fritz, the "i" is pronounces as a long "e") than anyone can imagine. And they eat them with mayonaise, not kechup.hope that helps.
The Battle of Waterloo is where Wellington defeated Napolean. Now there is a mound with a statue of a lion, "the Waterloo Lion" there. It looks out over the battlefield.
Let me know if you want more info.; Brugge is another place with lots of history.

Hi,i'm born in Belgium and always found it very disturbing that my friend found Americans fat ,lazy,ignorant,...you get the picture? If you're going to look for an honest image,please let me know... There's more to Belgium than Napoleon en french fries(by the way;frieten pronounces free-10).
Since i work in a American firm i know what it's like to have the wrong idea about other cultures...
mail me mind_guerilla@hotmail.com
