Not that much. Enough I suppose. I have been once. Hate to be stereotypical but the chocolate was good and I'm not a massive chocolate fan :smile:

The Southern part of Belgium is French and should be reunited to France. :cool:

My aunt and uncle live in Brussels so I visit quite often. My favourite city has to be Antwerp though, the waterfront is absolutely stunning. Something that has always struck me about the country is how segregated it is. The French and Flemish seem to live completely separate lives, except in the capital. It was actually a real struggle to find a bilingual school for my cousin, even in Brussels.

What are you saying ? No god !!!

We are similar to France because we speak French. But a lot of Belgian don't want to be reunited to France. In fact, maybe that i don't speak for all the belgian people but there is always a sort of cometition between France and Belgium and a lot of stereotypes. French people think that all we can do are drinking beer and that we all are some kind of farmer and Belgian people think that french are soooo boastful. So we all agree on the fact that we don't want to be a part of the France.
