Belgium

population

Belgium is a trilingual country, they are speaking French, Dutch and German. Here we have 11,007,020 inhabitants with a population density of 360.6 / km ².

typical Belgian food:

Typical Belgian food is French fries, beer and chocolate, we usually eat in the evening hot (potatoes, pizza, lasagna, Fries)

 

Chocolate

Belgian "seafood" pralines.Belgian chocolate enjoys a worldwide reputation. This owes in large measure to a tradition, a strict law for the production managed to enforce. Remain so - even since a European directive the use of 5% vegetable fats that are not derived from cocoa butter allows - the most traditional chocolate manufacturers claim of "100% cocoa butter 'loyalty. The quality of this chocolate is guaranteed by the state founded by the Belgian label "Ambao".

Beer
Another specialty is Belgian beer, especially abbey (eg of the Abbey of Orval Abbey of Leffe, Abbey of Hoegaarden, St-Feuillien, Saint Sixtus Abbey in Westvleteren or Notre-Dame de Saint-Remy) and specialty, such as cherry lambic, Gueuze, Ketje (Brussels specialty), Framboise (raspberry lambic), Faro Lambic or Aerts. Although Belgium is a small country, it has a large number of beers (over 1,000) and a wide range of styles. Almost every beer has its own glass, which can have very varied forms.

monuments

The most important monuments here are ‘Manneke Pis’ and the atomium.

Atomium

The Atomium represents the World Exhibition in Brussels in 1958, known as Expo 58, as a symbol for the metal "iron" that rapid development was a major factor in the optimistic view of development in the fifties. It has centered cubic spatial structure, such as pure iron at room temperature and under atmospheric pressure. Strangely enough, the building decided that the bulbs not steel, but aluminum had to be made. This material was previously also an emerging material. It is not known exactly why this decision was taken, but it would have had to do it, that aluminum at that time was considerably more resistant to corrosion than steel. The building had been scheduled for more than six months remain. At the end of the World was decided the building, which is extremely popular and was known to leave anyway.
