Belgium in 1 pic

Awesome report Paz!

What is your local language? Flemmish?

I read somewhere that french fries were invented in Belgium and it really pissed off the Belgians because the French claimed it! That true?

Nah, the original ones are the Freedom Fries


Yes it's true about the fries, they originate from Belgium. Here we call them pommes frites (fried potatoes) kind of a compromise solution.

Even though I am from Bulgaria there have already been some pics posted up by Usampa so I will show NZ (or 'Aotearoa' is the Maori name for NZ - meaning 'The Land of the Long White Cloud'), as that is where I currently live :)


Map of NZ (North Island, South Island and Stewart Island)....





Haka war dance is very important and cultural for the Maori people of NZ and performed by the NZ Rugby Team....




The Kiwi bird is only found in NZ and is the national symbol along with the silver fern....





National food includes Pavlova (meringue cake), Fish 'N' Chips, Vegemite, Pineapple Lumps and L&P (fizzy)....

















The nations capital, Wellington (located at the bottom of the North Island)....

Government House (also known as 'The Beehive'):




Wellington Harbour:





NZ has a lot of natural beauty....

Milford Sound:




Queenstown:




Tongariro National Park:




Utehi Bay in the Bay of Islands:




Mt Taranaki/Egmont ('The Last Samurai' was shot here):




The Waitomo Cave located in the Waikato region is unbelievable and full of glow worms:





Some photos of Auckland (the largest city in the country and also where I live)....

Auckland City Sky Tower (tallest sky scraper and building in the southern hemisphere) at night time:




View of Waitemata Harbour from the Auckland CBD area:




Auckland Harbour bridge connects north Auckland and NZ with the rest of Auckland and the North Island:




One Tree Hill (part of Cornwall Park):




The Albert Park entrance to the University of Auckland (where I am studying for my degree):






NZ has so much more to show but that sums it up pretty nicely I think.... full of beautiful outdoor nature, modern buildings and architecture, interesting food and wildlife and the culture of the Maori!!!!

New Zealand looks amazing, it's near the top of my list for places I want to see but it's SO far away, and expensive to get to!

not REALLY famous, character invented by Agatha Christie, but in a way he's typical Belgian ... moustache, les petites cellules grises, and likes 2 drink

Anyway i dont know much about Belgium but Poirot has made a differece. But i drove through Belgium in the beginning of 2008 and i said quietly "Hi Mudingayi" He was playing in Lazio that time Sry for the OT

Istanbul / Turkiye










These are enough for now...:)

I bet even from aussie, you need a decent cash to see the country in a proper way? The fares could be expensive, let alone getting around the country.

If someone of you knows how the Estonian flag looks like then you will get the idea of this picture :)

Very nice s70
