    I love this comment. The different spellings of the names (Dutch, Fr*nch, English and some made up spelling) made my day.

    We actually hate our own country most of the time, so I don’t mind everyone shitting on us. Thank you for enjoying your stay, love from Ghent.

      As someone who lives close to Brussels, 1 thing we are very good in is complaining. But not to people’s faces, only behind their backs.

      For example when the waiter brings out the wrong food in a restaurant most of us just don’t say anything and eat it.

        Thats just belgians in a nutshell. They tend to be very closed off, they will never say what they think to peoples face

      The made up spelling might be the Norwegian, or me fucking up as I also speak/read English and german. Flemish boggles the mind for me since I can read it with context, but it’s incomprehensible when spoken.
