The Xenophobe's Guide to the Belgians

Belgians are avid collectors – with museums devoted to chicory, chips, birds' nests, tombstones and even underpants. 'Fun. I am Irish and live in Brussels and I bought this book to try to 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 origins, history and culture, but it highlights the many likeable characteristics of the Belgians and their country.' /Reviewer from Ireland/
