It reflects the somewhat ridiculous state in which Belgium finds itself: a senseless linguistic battle in a globalized world where Belgian people living abraod, like myself, find hard to be proud of. In these cases, humour is the best answer, and hope, that what still characterises our country, our economy and the richness of both our culture, will not be undermined by futilities.Caroline et Christophehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04403456453900007869noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2857159910102323096.post-85623778245494694052008-03-27T19:08:00.000+01:002008-03-27T19:08:00.000+01:00I love your alphabet!!!

Really.<BR/><BR/>Belgium is nothing but a solution some Royal Families worked out after the Napoleon Wars - or Waterloo. Yeah. What's common? Royal family?<BR/>Some Rivers and Channels? Tintin? Beer? Good Food? Dutch? French?<BR/>So, I'm not at all surprised it took that long to form a interim Government (Will it be more?). Then it's better to look to Italy, they know how to do it. LOL. Which I'm sure you discuss from time to time at home.<BR/><BR/>btw. Stompa is still here. I'll bring him back Thursday, which also will be my TT this week.TorAahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05044855607413895442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2857159910102323096.post-7609954292095470512008-03-25T23:17:00.000+01:002008-03-25T23:17:00.000+01:00What an educative post - letter by letter - well c...What an educative post - letter by letter - well composted Gattina!<BR/><BR/>Since from Norway and also been in Belgium quite a lot, I knew some - but there was a lot of interesting stuff to pick up for me - thanks for sharing!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2857159910102323096.post-44538363090878891172008-03-25T04:17:00.000+01:002008-03-25T04:17:00.000+01:00A lot of extra "T" but I think I missed something ...A lot of extra "T" but I think I missed something in the transultion somewhere. <BR/><BR/>Thanks for sharingIamwhoIamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12193628465030544663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2857159910102323096.post-450587918100892032008-03-25T04:06:00.000+01:002008-03-25T04:06:00.000+01:00Sounds to me a lot like when Quebec (in Canada) wa...Sounds to me a lot like when Quebec (in Canada) wanted to become its own country (or something like that). <BR/><BR/>My husband spent 2 weeks in Belgium a few years ago - and absolutely LOVED it.
