Belgium, here we come!
For the Nth time, we are moving again.
Where? To Brussels, Belgium, thanks to the new work assignment of my husband. We lived there before, in fact, this will be the fourth time since 2000.
In Belgium, they speak three languages – French, Dutch and German, but almost everybody speak (know) English.
Belgium puts me off a bit because the weather is as bad as in England – grey skies, rain, cold.
But it has its good points – The Grand Place in the old town is considered as the most beautiful square in the world….its cuisine is excellent…..Coffeemate (coffee whitener) is sold in supermarkets (I always wonder why they don’t sell it in France?)…. and then, all BBC channels especially BBC Prime (which shows programs on renovating, gardening, house decorating, etc) are shown on TV (only BBC News is shown in France).
Hmmm… I thinkk I’m actually looking forward to living in Brussels again!
