Important

Hi,

We, the useless-countryfacts community has decided to make a joint call on this topic, as this isn’t a political problem anymore, it’s a humanitarian one.

The war in Yemen has brought heavy consequences to the population, the biggest one: lack of resources. Cholera hit the country ten days after the sewersystem gave out, and the lack of food and medical assistance led to 80% of the people in great need of  humanitarian assistance and protection.

We want to change at least something, by showing you options for donation, as this is very very important and not overseeable anymore.

Thank you.

French works perfectly fine in Brussels!

Hallo! Ik wilde jou zeggen dat deze blog heel tof is! Ik kom uit Frankrijk maar België is het land waarin alle mijn vrienden wonen en waarin ik nog naar school ga^^ Is je moedertaal Frans of Nederlands? (Sorry als er fouten zijn :s)

Fier op onze nationale sport!

A student fed up with all the recent strikes in Belgium has created a satirical website. At “BK Staken” (Belgian Striking Championship), people can see which strikes score highest, using a grading system that takes into account

  • the strike zone (municipal to national)
  • impact on the populace
  • duration
  • whether it was announced on beforehand
  • whether it falls on an extended weekend
  • whether it falls in an exam period
  • whether it falls at the same time as a festival

You may note that the supporters of the site show a “preference” for those strikes impacting the public system, which are ill-timed for students now we’re in the final stretch of the school year of 2015-2016.

Is iedereen in België tweetalig?

Niet persé. Ook al wordt bij ons altijd Frans of Nederlands aangeleerd in school. Of dat wordt er toch geprobeerd. Je kan natuurlijk ook meer talen leren. De meesten van ons zullen wel een tweede taal kunnen spreken, ook al is dit maar een klein beetje. Maar er zullen altijd wel mensen zijn die dit totaal niet nodig vinden, of dit niet nodig hebben in hun job.

I don't have a fixed destination, the plan is to move around from one city to the next and maybe visit other nearby countries. Since dumpster diving is not adveced, do you know of any way to get cheap food? Like special offers in stores when things are closed to expire, if restaurants give away food at the end of the day or things like that (it's ok to publish, it could help others too)

I see! That sounds like quite a nice thing though. I hope it will work out!

The cheapest food you can get, will probably have to be from McDonalds. We are sadly not a cheap country. In McDonalds, you can get things such as “Eurodeals”, which only cost an euro, but are still filling enough, or so I’ve heard at least. The only store I know off who does these “almost expired” sales is the store Delhaize. You might find cheap food in “Action” and “Techno” too. 

Maybe some other people can help too?

Reblog if you're from belgium!

I really want to meet some people from Belgium

It’s really easy to meet people from Belgium. Step 1: open your door, step 2: find a person, step 3: tadaaaaaaa! now go and eat Bicky Burgers together to celebrate the new friendship

How are Belgians with Eurovision?

Kind of lame in my personal opinion haha. I’m sure there are some people that like it, but most people I know literally do not care about it at all. There’s some radio stations that occupy themselves with it, but that’s it really.. Sadly, because I find it a lovely thing each year again.

Although this year, we are all rather proud of our Laura Tesoro being send out! Even the people who aren’t too interested in ESC. Because Laura Tesoro is quite popular and loved. A true national treasure she is!

Do you have a favorite Belgian artist?

Gosh well, there are a lot of ways to interpret this, but uhm, I think you mean like singer-y kind of artist? Well, Stromae obviously :’). Other than that, Tourist Lemc’s songs are quite nice to me too. Bonus that they are in Antwerp’s dialect! #AntwerpFTW

I was in Brussels the night before the attack and I have to say I'm praying for everyone in Belgium right now. Such a beautiful country that became one of my favorites. I hope to be back soon and see how strong every one there has stayed ❤️
