Rene Fiereg: Traveling to Belgium

Belgium is situated in the west of

Europe. The land here mostly comprises of flat coastal plains in the northeast, and southeast is

occupied by the Ardennes Forest. Dutch, Flemish, French and German are the official languages of

Belgium, with Dutch being the widely spoken followed by French. The weather here is pretty

predictable. Months from April to September are the warmest. Otherwise the weather is pretty

humid and skies are gray, that explains why umbrellas and raincoats are a part of the dressing.

So, if the visit is planned for holidays during the rainy season, one must not forget to carry

sufficient cover for maximum protection, as this is a coastal region. In case of emergency call

100 or 112.

Culture

Belgians are English-friendly and will make every attempt to speak in English

with a foreigner. Always remember to carry a small gift or at least flowers especially when

invited over dinner. The dress to wear will be mentioned in the invitation, when invited for a

party. Smoking in public is acceptable.

Lige, Ghent and Mechelen are the main shopping centers. Belgium is famous for ceramics and

hand-beaten copperware from Dinant, laces from Bruges, crystals from Val Saint Lambert,

woodcarvings from Spa and Belgiums finest chocolates. In jewelry, diamonds from Antwerp are on

high demand.

Eating Out according to Rene Fiereg:

The specialty of most of the restaurants is

horse and rabbit meat dishes. Although visitors can find a wide range of ethnic foods, but the

most famous are frites and mayonnaise and mitraillette; mitraillette is a large bun filled with

fries, donair meat and garlic sauce, the vegetarians can ask for a veg. substitute for the

donair meat. While eating at a restaurant, tipping is considered customary along with the

value-added tax. At the cinemas, leave a 0.50 tip for the attendant and 0.25 after using the

public toilets.
