Belgium is like one giant farming community for me as everything is very flat there are farms wherever you look. People are very friendly and interested to hear where you come from given that the local language is Flemish and they can understand Affrikaans quite easily. We stayed in the city of Sint Niklaas the birthplace of Father Christmas. Christmas is spent differently as there is very little commercialisation and is focused on the children and the story of Sint Niklaas.
