Nice

Good book, maybe a little shorter than I thought, it has 300 pages, but large letters and small pages

Not a boring country and so is the book

I like very much this series and although was intended to expatriates you may use the book for travels.This volume for Belgium was a fine complementation to the much more academic book A throne in Brussels;some bits are hilarious and you could learn very much about waloon/flemish conflict.The design of the series(first impressions;land and history,settling in,food and drink,culture,sport and travel,language,business and work and quiz to test yourself)is always efficient.You could use this for a global vision and then search in other books(some are indicated)or sites(a lot indicated)to deep down.
