Yesterday, on a trip to the far South of Holland, I was also driving a bit across Belgium.
Surely I've looked around to get confirmations for the prejudices about the Belgian way of driving.
The motorway-ring around Antwerpen is good for that. I've seen some drivers, who were too fast, have overtaken on the right side or have been to close to the car in front. But I must admit, that I was a bit surprised, when I've seen, that the majority of them had yellow license-plates.
A propos licence-plates: I saw a VW Bora from Maroc at the exit to Burgerhout.
Is there any Lancia-fan around? On the motorway, direction Eindhoven, nearby the "Massive"-lamp-factory I've seen a broken down Lancia Delta. Perhaps a bit abandoned. The hazard-triangle was still there, but the front license-plate was gone.
Then I wanted to buy something typical Belgian (and compare the prices to Germany), so I went to the "Carrefour"-market in Turnhout.
@Antoine: a lot of things are f...ing expensive in your country (wine, fruits, meat, deodorants and much more). Sometimes 50% or even 100% more than in Germany.
So I didn't buy Belgian chocolates, mustard or beer. I'll get it cheaper here or in NL.
I but just a few things as gifts for wife and cat at home. But there I've found out, that it wasn't Belgian. The "Chocolat Liegois"-pudding was made in Germany, the rice-vanillapudding "rijstpap" made in Poland and the cat-food made in Liechtenstein.
Belgian was the stuff, which was tasting good, but was stuck as a brick in my stomach later on, two "profiteroles"
But Diesel was cheap, even cheaper than in Holland.
