No gov't in Belgium

The person in charge of foming the new governement gave up. Belgians voted in May and they are still waiting for a new governement (in september!). What if this was the best time to split Belgium in two parts?! Let's hope that this is just a hard time...

Miss Belgium...

Sexy lady!

Coca Cola Plus (part 2)

You've seen the design in the US, now here is the design in Europe! Merci au photographe à la fourrure jaune!

And what about them?

They criticize 24/7, but it doesn't seem like they actually know why... Europeans pretend doing everything better than the Americans, but sometimes -often, Americans are way more advanced! Here is the sidewalk example: In Belgium:

In the US:

And now you probably think that it's a brand new thing right?! Nope! It's been decades! Yep! They are way ahead of Europeans...again...again...and again! And you also probably think that we just have a couple of them right? Nope! There is no one sidewalk that is still without a ramp!

Foothill College's Mountain Lion

Here is the e-mail that every Foothill College (De Anza's sister college) student received today:

Foothill Fusion for Students & Community Members

UPDATE: Stay Alert While on Campus Pathways Law enforcement authorities report that a mountain lion was sighted Tuesday, July 17, in a creek bed near the Foothill College campus in Los Altos Hills. The animal was not seen on the Foothill campus. The sighting occurred in the O'Keefe Preserve in Los Altos Hills, which is located approximately 1.5 miles north of the college. Authorities recommend that students, faculty, staff and community members use caution and remain alert while walking, jogging or biking on the numerous trails and pathways that surround the 122-acre campus. Should you see a mountain lion, get to a safe location and immediately call 9-1-1.

Here is part of one of the many articles that circulate on the topic:

"Anyone who spots a mountain lion nearby should never run. Instead, make eye contact and stand your ground, and try to appear big and aggressive. Throw stones and branches without bending or turning away. If attacked, fight back".

Rue Neuve vs. Alves Drive

Here is the equivalent of what we have in downtown Brussels... Check it out sometimes... I still have the pic somewhere if needed...

T-shirt

An XXL in Europe is probably like an L here. No wander why they come up with these stupid tees.

Harry Potter and the political matters!

We are waiting for the last book of the Harry Potter series that won't be out this upcoming summer... Americans have reinvented the titles featuring the current events... Why not?!

Magic Bullet: a full-of-crap head!

It's still here! The Magic Bullet is now available outside the TV network! Don't miss it (you can't miss it anyway...but just in case). I posted this for some of my Belgian friends... ;)

Two thumbs up and your body down !!!!!

I watched this impressive movie yesterday, and I figured I would cut down on fast food! It's amazing how we destroy our body step by step -day by day! No doubt, Amercica is sinking under the weight of greasy food and fat people! I would say that it's even really scary! A two-thumbs-up movie that perfectly depicts the whole situation!

Allez les Belges!!!!

Oops!

Diet Coke Plus

Starting from Spring, you can enjoy the same great taste of Diet Coke but with 5 of the minerals and vitamins that your body needs daily included in the beverage... What an update! I'm thinking about trying it... It may be better than normal Diet Coke for such a Coke drinker.... I dont think this new product has already been put on the European Market. I guess you guys will see it pretty soon in the supermarkets!

Flint Center: General Wesley Clark

Yesterday, Paola and I went to the Flint Center to see General Wesley Clarck who had a Celebrity Forum. The Flint Center is located on the De Anza Campus, althought it's on a private property in front of the Sunken Garden. Gen Wes Clark is retired since a couple of years. He is a Democrat and tried to be candidate for the elections; Kerry finally got the opportunity to get the presidency against G.W. Bush. He's got really nice ideas, but his ideas are Democrat, and therefore, not applicable!

Parking for Belgians only !

They pick whatever cool stuff and they make parking spots for them...It's a joke, but I remember I had one from Salem last year...Cool stuff !!!

Only in the US!!!!

As far as I know, we'll never see that in Europe! They have a hole building in San Francisco as well as people in the streets promoting the Message sent by the sect!

Tintin in Hollywood...Good link!

Americans learn French

"Au printemps, chez les Belges...

Le temps est nuageux.

Il fait frais".

"During Spring time, in Belgium...

The weather is cloudy.

It is chilly."

They even talk about Belgians in textbooks. Isn't that so cool? The information is not always accurate, but, still, it's fun to read!

Amercicans -whatever you may think- are more advanced!

At De Anza, there are different kinds of parking spots. Student carpool: 2 or more people in a car have priority to park their car (the spots are closer to the buildings). Alternative fuel vehicle: even closer to the buildings, these spots are reserved for people who drive the brand new types of cars that produce less polution. Staff parking: you know what that is! Besides, there are the regular "disabled", "police", etc.

I love you

Unbelievable !!!!!!!!

Click here to discover what a Belgian family hides behind the façade of their house! It's simply incredible! Although I feel sorry because the report is in French and filmed by the French television, I could resist! Serge has got 30 children from three different women: 2 of them (his wife and his sister in-law) live in his house and the third one has to live somewhere else because of a lack of room. Both parents are unemployed and they manage to feed their kids with only 3000 € a month! When they go shopping they need 170 lbs of potatoes, 9 lbs of pastas, 7 bottles/day of milk! It's just crazy! They live in a trhee-room house where the bedrooms look more like dorms than real kids' bedrooms!
