What amazes me most about Belgium is that it’s normal to know three languages. Everyone I interact with in the office is fluent in English, French, and Dutch, and I suspect they understand and can somewhat speak German as well. I haven’t met a single Belgian who couldn’t understand me in English and respond appropriately. Yes, sometimes there are those who don’t know it well enough, but for the most part, the educated people here effortlessly chatter in three languages.
Very cool.
This is from the Royal Museum of Arts in Brussels. It seems as though in the Middle Ages, artists competed for the title of being the most meticulous in rendering details. Here you have a painting by Bruegel with a million people, each face detailed; there you see the entire 17th-century Brussels as depicted by Jean Baptiste Bonnecroy. I’ve added to the painting with some close-up shots of the details.
Nowadays people post food on Instagram, but in the 17th century, they painted it for that purpose.
I won’t be surprised if they also wear diapers (not musicians)
It turned out that it was not a gay parade, but a classical music ensemble going on stage.
At first I thought they were selling ice cream (first picture).
For those who love stepping on rakes
