Waw, it seems like a nice city! I like visiting old places like that. It's always so interesting!
Well, I live in Brussels, which is the capital city, so there are obviously lots of nice things to see there. We have many museums, and the old parts of the city are a great place to visit, as there are beautiful buildings and streets there.
The food? Well, the first thing that comes to mind is chocolate! Belgium is quite famous for it! And, while we're on the sweet things, we are also known for our waffles. Oh, and biscuits! Speculoos for example are really good! Fries – they are called French fries, but it's in fact not known whether they were invented in France or Belgium – are very famous too. We eat them with mussels or meatballs, most of the time. Or sometimes on their own, as a take-away snack you buy on the street, but that's not the healthiest thing, I guess. That's most of the things I can think about... I hope you found it interesting!
That dish seems pretty good! You make me want to eat it!
Oh, so it's like the Saint-Nicolas! I guess you can find similar holidays in every country, even if they're a bit different. taht's interesting! We also celebrate the birth of the Christ on January 6th, but we don't do it like you. We eat a cake called 'Galette des Rois' in which a porcelain figure is hidden, and the one who finds it while eating the cake wins and becomes king for the rest of the day.
That's actually a difficult question, because I don't really have anything to compare it to...
I'd say we don't have many customs or tradition nowadays, or at least not a lot I can think of. We do have a celebration coming soon: the Saint-Nicolas's Day, which is on December 6th. It's not specific to Belgium, but it is still one of our tradition, so I guess I could talk about it. Basically, Saint-Nicolas is the one who inspired Santa Claus. He comes during the night between December 5th and 6th to bring presents to the good children and he punishes the naughty one.
As for what a day over here is... I'd say it's a bit like everywhere else. People go to school or to work, and when they have free time, they do whatever they like doing.
What about Puerto Rico? Now, you've got me curious to know what it's like over there! =)
Ah, I see, that explains it! Well, thank you! I'm happy I could make you want to join A-P!
I don't really know what to tell you, to be honest... There are a lot of things I could talk about, I guess. What would you like to know about Belgium? ^_^
Thank you, I like yours too! It has soft and pretty colours~
Oh, really? Well, I'm glad to know that! I hope you're enjoying the site, then! ^_^ But where did you see me, in fact? And what did I do to leave such an impression on you?
