I am amazed at how these Belgians could build up a country in such a way, after the last war!!! Amazing - one of the economic wealthiest countries in the world!!!
They are a very hard working people - cannot keep up with them! We have found them very critical of themselves and cannot easily receive affirmation.
But wealth has a price! Just listen to the news - one of the highest suiside rates in the world. Especially among teenagers and the forties! There is just such a performance spirit about them.
