Due to omnipresent rain, Belgium seems to be LACHRYMOSE with all those strings of drops with which it is decorated. It is said that in Belgium there are 300 rainy days a year. I never verified that…

Belgium is MODERN in many aspects.

Queen Mathilde of Belgium, the seventh queen since Belgium’s independence from The Netherlands in 1830, is above all very elegant, charming, modern woman, working mother of four. Everybody loves her.

The modern, open, and private-enterprise-based Belgian economy has capitalized on its central geographic location, highly developed transport network, and diversified industrial and commercial base.

Belgian Modern design looks like an updated version of classic 17th-century Flemish and Dutch interiors. It is characterized by natural materials, linen covers, warm tones, and a lived-in elegance.

In Brussels itself, for example, it is said that in the EU institutions there are around 20 thousands people from 28 EU member states working in the EU institutions (together with members of their families the number is even higher). These people bring their own culture to Belgium and enrich it.
