I guess the idea of a country just depends whether you live in it or not.
I agree that most Belgians (definitely not all of them, lol) are pretty laid-back.
At least that's what the Dutch always say about us :0)

What would you say are the worst parts about living in Belgium? I'm in Cleveland, OH and I'd have to say it the weather and the racism. The winters here are awfully cold and snowy and last for what feels like 10 months. The racism is rampant! I've never been in a place where people are so divided by ethnicity.
I think I would pick the same two things. Qlthough winter only ladt from November till March - if we're lucky.
And racism... it's all around. It's aweful how people think they are better than others just because the color of their skin. A lot of big cities are ruled by parties of the right wing, with all consequences related.
And me... I'm allergic to racism. It's something I can not understand at all, still, it's everywhere around me, every day again... :0(
I like that - allergic to racism. Yes, I don't understand it either. Where does it come from? How has it gotten to be so ingrained in the mindset of some people? Makes no sense to me.
Me neither. I'm a very empathic person. Most of the time I can put myself i someone dlse's shoes and understand why they say or do something, but racism is an exception to that. I simply don't get that state of mind.
Always nice to hear that there are others, lol

We are not alone!
Fortunately.
But it often feels like we are a minority...
