North Eastern France isn't a country dickwad. I love France more than I love your face.

sheesh. its not like countries are there for your personal entertainment.

dEUS

So yes the countryside is shit, but Brussels is quality.

I nominate The island of Gran Canaria - Its a hot basildon full of wankers from all around europe, and has more mcdonalds and karaoke bars than you can shake a stick at.

good one Judge_B.
i dont think you can judge a country's crappness just by your personal experience...

England because it's people must be up their in the most arrogant race list. Why whine and moan and knock other countries then decider you'd quite like to live there but don't want to learn the language cause all these foreign people should know English.

Jamaica rules.

By the way, london is sooooooo a country in its own right. The m25 makes it an island. so, like, its not included ;-)

if london was a country it'd top my list no question!

but then it's only cos i get scared of all the big buildings

"Dont ever come back there"

Wow, im so confused by that line. Its ace.

and REAL mayonnaise!!!

fihiki if you're ever in Aartselaar please say hello to my Tante Simone, i havent seen her for years

I love Belgium.
Been there a lot of time.
Belgian beers are the best.
And i love belgian art form the XV to the XVIII centuries.

YES. you can visit the musical instrument museum. well one of the sixty thousand. and the tin tin museum, and the MUSSELS museum, and the MANY toy museums, and the WOAH BELGIAN MUSEUMS ARE ACE.

I take that into account, fihiki.

I think I went to the wrong places. We went to Ypres, and we've studied the battles that went on there. It was so fiercely fought over, and I know it was a strategic asset etc, but its just such a shit town. A huge cathederal in the centre, surrounded by endless boring bars, and literally, honestly, seriously... SIX pharmacies within 500 meters of eachother... are the people THAT ill?

I did find a CD shop called 'Free Records', but they weren't free... I got a Ramones Best of there for 6Euros.

But... have any of the Belgian people ever been to a theme park called 'Ballawaerde' or something? We went on the last day. There was one worth-going-on rollercoaster and a huge cafe, that stunk of body odour and had flies buzzing around plates of cheese. It was possibly the worst place I have ever payed to go in.

"I went to Belgium when I was at school for a History trip, and it wasn't the most pleasurable of experiences

There's something about going to a country, staying in a hostel and visiting dozens of graveyards that doesn't quite do it for me

But the WW2 trenches, however, I mean.... WOW. Just when I thought I couldn't be any more depressed, I'm lucky enough to walk in a boggy ditch full of human shit

So yeah, Belgium rules!" said Dove_From_Above

I'd have to agree with that a bit. I went on a History trip there with my college in July and one day we basically drove around the NE of France all day. 12 bloody hours on the road. When we got back to the hotel, there was a powercut and we just got relentlessly pissed and I fell out of a window.

Wrightylew, about Ypres, I thought it was alright actually. One of those nice little "cafe towns" as I call them, where people just sit out and chat and there's a normally nice little cathedral and that. Makes a nice change occasionally from the binge-drinking riot that is Friday nights here.

Fihiki (or any other Belgians), have you ever heard of a town called Diksmuuide in West-Vlaanderen, that's where we stayed and it was crap.

About mussels and chips... they're good. They're like my two fave foods apart from curry.

Can I stick up for BelgLand?
