People from this place.

It's been nearly a year since I am in Belgium and definitely the belgian people topic conversation is always my favorite one. Indeed, mainly the ones that are flemish due to my current stay in Leuven.

In a nutshell, Flemish are so dazed to break the status quo hence they are pretty good at following rules. Multiple examples come to my mind with the aim of display my perspective:

 They never complain

- They can even get the wrong purchase but still that is not a reason to complain.

Once a friend of mine bought an phone case for her brand new iphone so I told her that it was overpriced since I bought one for less and much more quality. For what she answered: 'But none complains here. I already unpacked it anyway...".


-They follow rules

-Students HAVE to good home each weekend because they parents say so.

Most of students commute home every weekend. Yeah, every weekend. It is such a ritual they follow every friday or even thursdays to get back to the city they study either on sunday night or very early on monday.

Again, I asked about this situation and I had: "But otherwise my parents would get mad at me and will not give me money. I have to go home every weekend".

This is what Leuven is, and Belgium at certain extent, got for you....I'll be back soon with more of this odd facts....
