Thanks very much!

If you have read The Hitch Hikers Guide to the Galaxy, you will know that the worst swear word in the universe is 'Belgium'!!!!!

I know this is a comedy, but does anyone know anything about Belgium that would have persuaded Douglas Adams to decide to call it a swear word?

Dutch and Flemish are the same language. Why is the language in Belgium not also known as Dutch?

I left Belgium 25 years ago, i was still a minor. I went to live in Holland and now further afield.
One of the reasons i left was the 'Kiesplicht'. (Voting is not a right, it's a duty in Belgium. They can make it so because they haven't ratified all of the Human Rights Act! I think it is section 8, if my memory serves me right)
Now they (the Belgian government) are telling me i have to vote in their federal elections coming up in the next few months!?!
I voted in the UK elections as a European national.
Can the Belgians really make me vote for their federal elections? Or have i got a case for a human rights lawyer?
And finally, who shall i vote for? Cause for now it seems i won't be getting out of it.
And yes, if your argument is good enough i might just for your party. :-)

I am considering going to Brussels for a few months to assist a friend who lives there. I have two school age children. Would I be able to enroll them in school for the time we are there. I would also keep them up on their school work from their American school, but would like them to experience school in Belgium. They know some French and are in kindergarten and first grade so could pick up language quickly. Thoughts, advice, pros, cons - all welcome.

From Brussels Midi, what is the cheapest train to Amsterdam Central? I heard the Thalys is not as fast as it claims to be and the IC(intercity) is actually a better choice. Any ideas?
