Fun and reasonably accurate generalisation
I am Irish and live in brussels and I bought this book to try and get an idea of what to expect from the Belgians. It has helped explain where they are coming from, their home life, and their interests/obsessions. Of course, it is impossible to generalise about a group of such people of such diverse origin, history and culture, but it hightlights the many likeable characteristics of the Belgians and their country.
