Three things i always hear from every flemish from Ghent (pronounced kkk-hentt the dutch way) i speak to:
1. There are 3 languages in Belgium: french, dutch and german
2. Everyone goes to the Graslei when the sun is out.
3. There is a big, free 2-week long party in the summer that is really great
Three answers to questions all flemish ask me:
1. No, we don’t cycle usually in Malaysia except for recreation because it is too hot to do so.
2. Yes, it’s hot the whole year round.
3. I speak three languages – english, malay, chinese and we mix them all up when we talk among ourselves.
Three belgian things that are great:
1. Belgian beer
2. Belgian chocs
3. Belgian waffles
Also, there is this great similiarity in culture where you go and have ‘a drink’ after class or at night, with a few people or with alot.. only instead of deciding which teh/kopi version to order you are split for choices between the many types of beer.. woot
And the bars are quiet enough to talk without having to shout on top of your lungs…….
more to come

Here’s more great ideas on how to save time!
