I wouldn't call them boring really, just ridiculously impolite (and racist, but that's like most of Europe I suppose).

And we do have Renee Magritte...

Sure I do, for a drinking holiday. When it comes to boozing, I can't imagine many better places.

I've had two romantic flings with Belgians... one French, one Flemish. They were both really charming but over the period of our association, became increasingly disagreeable. The French hated all Flemish, Turks, and North Africans. The Flemish hated all French, Turks, and North Africans. Oh, they also hated Americans (of course). They were hardcore leftists but racist out the yinyang, for sure.

But I cannot judge an entire nation based on these two slovenly, hippie exiles.

I'm sorry to say that, by and large, you can...

FYI: I have a Belgian passport and my mom grew up there.

Well, replace tin tin with his creator Herge, and dull poirot with interesting Magritte.

Morrocco
Italy
Greece
Hawaii
The Caribbean

>>>>>>> actually, MUCH easier to list those places I don't care to go:

Turkey
Iraq
Iran
Korea
Haiti, Dominican Republic, Columbia
Antarctica
The North Pole
Indonesia (for now)
.... any current war zone (though I actually would like to go to Afghanistan)

My sister-in-law is Flemish, I've never found her particularly racist, though she does manage to be both left-wing and a snob, a peculiar balancing act.

InkL0sed · Post by **InkL0sed** » Fri Jun 27, 2008 1:33 pm

Well obviously I was exaggerating... I don't honestly think every Belgian is racist and impolite. But I do think it is an accurate characteristic of Belgians as a whole.

My workmate and I were discussing this the other day. I wouldn't go to Iraq. I might go to Afghanistan. I definitely go to Iran and Haiti. North Korea would be depressing. Colombia would be nice, but I'd be nervous in certain areas. Cartagena, though? Fo shiz!

Player: Why not DR or Indonesia??
