i can tell you that belgium is good and cool and yah we're the butt of a lot of jokes but we don't care 'cause our beer is awesome and the womens are hot and there's also lots of cool people from other countries living there and it's not too expensive to live in and there are lots of jobs and if you want to take a weekend vacation we're only like a couple hours from basically everywhere else that's toursisty-fun to visit for vacation but sucks to actually live in, and our economy is not imploding

it's a pretty chill place and more people should visit :)



[edit] just looked up la peniche and wtf are you doing that far north in the center, there's nothing interesting up there except for warehouse raves along the canals

i remember walking into that square and being legit shocked at how pretty it was. def a cool place to visit. your parks loving suck dick tho

Strepitoso. Vedete? Una meraviglia.
Yo my friend was an exchange officer in the Belgian Air Force and he said it was cool as hell. Also when they would deploy to Africa the Belgians would gently caress the local hookers which seems like a bad idea. He speaks fluent French cause of it but I guess some people speak a totally different language? hosed up if true

Maybe cause we're eastern european but my friend stayed in belgium for a year - he said the superior pay never compensated for how ugly all the chicks were. His words not mine, never been there. Also apparently every 4th guy is gay. That's all i got.

in eu4 i always conquer belgium and luxembourg as the netherlands and then i culturally genocide them so everyone is dutch and i think this should still happen because theres literally no reason for belgium or luxembourg to exist

also if they were united and the walloons were all killed maybe they wouldnt have been so loving useless in ww1 and ww2

San Marino is also quite pointless. It's literally just an Italian city state that was allowed to not unify like all the other city states else because Garibaldi liked them or some poo poo.

leuven is just a college town so take that as you will. the good thing about belgium is it's so small that you can go by train to any other city in the country in less than like 2 hours, so go check places like liege and namur and ghent and bruges if you've got a free afternoon. oh, and go check out the cantillon brewery in brussels and the westvletern abbey, you can tour them and get some of the best beer you'll ever drink for really cheap.

Used to live right near there, a couple blocks away from Square Ambiorix. It was definitely my most favorite house I rented even if it was a bit quiet :3 Can even see the streets I walked when coming home in that photo.

did you go see the africa museum in tervuren? those little islands in the lake, they put a tribal family on one of them to live there, and at some point they died. afaik the museum is still not really transparent about what happened during the belgian colonial rule of congo.

I was at NATO military hq in Mons for a while. The only way you could tell it was summer was because the rain was warmer. And in winter! The fog! Holy mother of whatever, it was awful driving. And the whole language thing, French and some form of Dutch (Flem? Phelgm? lol). The two language zones are constantly fighting. A Flemish tree falls in the French speaking area? War! It is the country that invented the petit-bourgeois.
