🇧🇪 Belgium

This section covers specific places and locations across Belgium, one write-up at a time - starting with Brussels, where I worked for four years as a telecom expat. Belgium itself is a small, federal, and famously multilingual country wedged between France, Germany, and the Netherlands: Dutch-speaking Flanders to the north, French-speaking Wallonia to the south, and Brussels, officially bilingual, sitting right on the language border between them as both the national capital and the de facto capital of the European Union. Pictured above is the Atomium, built for the 1958 World’s Fair and still one of the country’s best-known landmarks.
