change in the... language is the most common cause of tension among Belgium community
.We are zipping down suburban lanes, turning right and left, dodging from prosperous village to prosperous village. The houses are solid without being grand; tidy but somehow higgledy-piggledy; ordinary, with a touch of the surreal. They could only be Belgian.
The people on the streets are neither aggressively neat, like the Dutch, nor self-consciously elegant, like the French. They are something in between. They are, to my biased but approving eyes, triumphantly and typically Belgian.
In the first village, the road signs are in Dutch (or in English). In the next, the signs are in French (or in English). "Avenue" becomes "laan", "rue" becomes "straat", and a "dviation" becomes a "wegomlegging". Belgium is full of dviations and wegomleggings.
