belgium is a country where they speak 3 languages, flamish (which is very similar with the dutch), french and in a small part in the northeast of belgium german. Belgium is seperated by language in two parts, wallonie e vlaanderen. Wallonie is the french speaking part. On the highways they have always lamps, but the provincial streets are often in a bad state. Belgium has a king, but i forgot his name. They have great french fries. Although the country is very small, you find a great variety of landscapes. that's a bit what i know about belgium!if you plan to visit it, don't miss the palace des beaux arts a bruxelles.

Historically Belgium has been the battlefield of Europe because of its geographical place. But because of this geographical place it has always scored high for economics to.
This explains to many battle places (Waterloo, Bastogne, Ypres, ... to name the most famous) and the cities with a lot of art and old magnificent buildings (Brugges Antwerp, Gant, Brussels, Leuven (one of the oldest university cities).
The actual king is Albert II.

It's boring, tiny, snooty. It tries to be like France but completely fails at it. Never go there. Trust me, I know.
