It's better to keep your mouth shut and give the impression that you're stupid than to open it and remove all doubt.

Re: Belgium
It's not something to be very proud of in fact.
This is the main reason why economy is falling, companies are leaving Belgium, some thinks to leave Belgium,...
But I'm not complaining for myself but my kids and especially my grandkids will face a difficult and hard future.
The living standards will decrease deep and fast.
What are they doing with our money... I should'nt know it.
But we have an expensive government system. We have for every important post 3 persons, sometimes 4: one for the Flemish/Dutch part, one for the Frecnh part, one for the capital of Brussels itself and one national.It's better to keep your mouth shut and give the impression that you're stupid than to open it and remove all doubt.

Re: Belgium
As a former coach driver i would like to say i love belgium although obviously i didnt have to pay their taxes. I think its a common thing everywhere now that we have to pay more and more.
The best thing in belgium ? Take the A16 (If its still called that) past oostende and into Belgium. First junction over the boarder go up slip road, turn left and go over the road and a Large shop located on the left
. Any PSV/HGV drivers will know what i am talking about (AND ITS IS LEGAL, before anyone thinks i am talking about something else).
regards
