hmmm cute chickens have you looked a chicken very closely before if it is cute to you um you are in trouble. Lamb I plead the fifth but not a whole one at one sitting
I am very strict in that respect I only drink 2 beers on Wednesday after golf and Saturdays a couple really never drink in the week days otherwise. But I know that in your country its is a totally different thing. And in France it's normal too and it Ireland it's mandatory
Yes correct about being white and as you said there are other factors. One guy I knew who I would not call a friend (a Belgian who spent all his life in Canada) was not accepted in Belgium. Why? Well one example. He was sitting at the table in the summer okay but he had no shirt on and he was rather fattish. When sitting at the table he made the comment "Belgen zijn toch varkens" (Belgians are pigs) We all just looked at each other and smiled. There was only one pig at that table. He couldn't hack it in Belgium and went back to Canada.
I like the fact that I am Canadian. I am proud of it. Canadians are usually quite nationalistic. And they have a good reputation. Quite often when I start a lesson with a student I tell them that I am Canadian. Interests peak at that moment. It's like hooking a fish on the line. I have there attention and that is what I want and need.
yeah but I don't eat corn and hot dogs on the street only in my own home
and I do think it is great here we have a very low crime area and low immigrant area of Belgium. I find it always strange that high immigrant and high crime areas always go hand in hand.
no I haven't as a matter of fact but I was in the Dominican Republic and it's scary there. The "biggest vehicle" gets the right of way there. Egypt is even worse.
I was at one point and immigrant. When I came to Belgium I didn't know a word of Flemish or French for that matter. (still don't know French). But I was motivated to learn and make sure that I would fit in. I can speak Flemish so well now that I have had it that people that I just meet and that I have spoken to all evening don't realize that I am from Canada. I have worked here for almost 40 years now so I guess I can say I payed my dues. What annoys me (and I do run into these people in my job) is that they want all the good that Belgium has to offer but will not even try to change their ways. The most recent example was a Turkish lady that I was supposed to teach to drive. Her niece came along for translation purposes. The lady who was mid thirties did not speak a word of Flemish (and I mean not one word not "nee" not "ja") I asked her niece how long she was in Belgium expecting an answer of 3 months or maybe a few weeks. She said rather embarrassed "13 years". After that lesson I told the office that I refuse to give a lesson to anyone who does not speak the language. On the grounds of communication problems. But also out of principle (which I did not mention in the office) If you want to live in a country learn the language its the least you can do otherwise go back to your miserable existence that you had before. my 2 cents worth
Actually cat tastes and looks like rabbit. Rabbit is eaten in Belgium and if I am not mistaken in England too. The only way you can tell the difference between a rabbit and a cat is the shape of the rib bones. Now I can't remember which is which but one has round rib bones and the other has flat rib bones. A rabbit that is sols in the store in Belgium will always have one foot on it still with the fur on it. Now you know why. By the way in the WWII there were no cats to be found in Belgium. I wonder why?
another not a love song but it's from a group from Belgium and I like it because it's just my kind of music even though when the song starts it is exactly opposite to my principles. But listen closely you will hear the changes. Great song Most of you will not know K's Choice but let me know if you have heard of them
