Most of you are probably unaware, but today is Belgium’s national day,
commemorating the installation of Leopold I as the first king of independent
Belgium on July 21, 1831.
So I wish my Belgian friends a nice long weekend, and lots of this:

Belgium is not a big powerful country, and people from larger places like
France tend to make fun of it (“name a famous Belgian” jokes etc.). But having
lived as an adult in Denmark, USA, Belgium, Switzerland, the Netherlands and
now Spain, I must say that of those six countries, Belgium had the best quality
of life, all things considered, and I immensely enjoy my frequent trips back to
Brussels. No, I am not moving back there, but I sometimes still regret my
decision to take a job in Switzerland back in 2000.
Cheers,
