Happy Belgium Day! I'll drink a Lambic in your honour. I actually saw the Manneken Pis on your Independence Day a few years ago. We went to Brussels and had no idea it was a holiday. :D

Funny post!
Well, it's not too bad living in Belgium ... we all speak several languages, we have good social security, good schools, lovely cities, splendid music festivals, ....
Let's enjoy this bankholiday ... for me, living very close to the 'Gentse Feeste' area it will be a day of music, walking around, seeing people, eating fries and mussles with a fresh beer, ....

Happy Belgium Day! Maybe I can convince Mr Morrgan to go and have a couple of Leffes for the occasion this evening. ;)

Jip, I forgot a few here, Sara, but I think it's quite hard to capture Belgium in a few pictures...
I'm intrigued by 'het hellend vlak' and want to visit it sometime that's why it's listed here - a gentle reminder to myself! ;)

Eddy Wally! Nimmer wordt hij grijs en ouder.
En niet alleen de frieten, maar zeker ook jullie frietsaus. Want Vlaamse frieten zonder saus, zijn geen Vlaamse frieten ;)

Mussles with fries!
I regularly support the belgian beer trade by purchasing crazy amounts of beer which I have to go to Belgium to buy, return bottles, etc.
With the road sign pic, I thought you were going to state what most dutch think: impossible to follow road signs in Belgium. You can never find them or they are placed right after the turn they are indicating or weird stuff like that! :P
HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY! (where is the history lesson? I was waiting for that...)

Jip, that's also true about the roadsigns, Mariana. There is no way to see 'em all... and when there are elections, those signs make it even worse...
It's vacation right now, so we skip the history lesson! ;)
