The Good Life- Flanders Style Page Under Construction
Will use the metaphor of "Dancing on Water" to describe spoken Flemish and Flemish Culture. Will also be an overview of the major cities and provinces of Flanders.
Flemish is one of the lightest, most melodic, and most playful central Germanic languages. The sound of Flemish conversation resembles a babbling brook. The Flemish use the word "babbeling", to describe conversation.
Flamenco (and Flamingo) are from the word 'Flemish'
Mother of all "Dances on Water"- the town of Spa in Wallonia part of Belgium
Antwerp-Province of Antwerp
Ghent- Province of West Flanders
Brugges-Province of East Flanders
Mechelen- Province of Antwerp
Leuven-Province of Brabant- Beer Capitol of the World
Hasselt-Province of Limburg/Borgloon
Brussels- Province of Brussels- 'Flamingo Alley' Artist Arne Quinze
'Love Canal' of Brussels
The city of Brussels gets Honorable Mention. On the one hand,
the public art display- 'Flamingo Alley' deserves extra credit. On
the other hand, the two week shutdown of the sewage treatment system of
northern Brussels during the World Climate conference in 2009, costs
points. The shutdown obliterated all signs of life in
the Schelde River for miles. In the opinion of Calidocious Inc.
"Brussels doesn't just dance on water, sometimes it stomps on it too."
