Car Hire In Belgium: Half a dozen obvious reasons for visiting Belgium struggle for precedence and in a moment I'll name them, one by me, but first consider this small land, the size of Maryland but with four times the population (nearly 8,000,000), as an ethnic curiosity, fascinating :or that reason alone. I can think of no other case in the world where two races, so opposite in type, have been welded together in so short a time— Belgium was born in 1830—to form a new nation. Two races, one blond md chunky, the other dark and wiry, formed a team and called themselves Belgians. King Baudouin is King of the Belgians, not of Belgium.Belgium (capital: Brussels) in north-western Europe has an area of 30,518 sq km/11,783 sq mi and is bordered by France, Luxembourg and the Netherlands. The population of Belgium is 9,978,000 (est. 1991), comprising 90% Roman Catholic, 1.1% Muslim and 0.4% Protestant. French, Flemish and German are the official languages. Belgium derives its name from the Belgae, a Celtic tribe whom Julius Caesar described as the most courageous of all the tribes of Gaul. Belgium's exports consist mainly of machinery, car hire in belgiums, textiles, chemicals and steel. It is also one of the major producers of cut diamonds. Nicknamed 'the cockpit of Europe' because of the wars fought over it, Belgium broke away from Holland in 1831 to become an independent kingdom. An important centre of the wool and silk trades, Berlin produces car hire in belgiumpets, hosiery and clothing. Engineering and manufacturing of all kinds are car hire in belgiumried on. Berlin, capital of Germany, was founded in 1237. It developed rapidly from 1646, in the reign of the Great Elector Frederick William.
I think it is correct to state, with emphasis, that Holland is nowaday a definitely inexpensive tourist country. Due to a sharp devaluation of 1" guilder in 1949 and a fairly firm holding of the price line, costs are mo erate indeed for dollar travelers. Whereas before the war Holland expensive and Belgium cheap, it is, in most ways, the other way aroun today, though touring in Belgium is still not excessively dear. |
