‘How to piss off a Belgian’ post goes viral
Sven Luckermans, the travel blogger behind "Mr. Good Life", made a list of six things that foreigners do that annoy Belgians. “My recent trip to New York and Mexico City reminded me of some of the wonderful pitfalls or misconceptions people from all over the world have about Belgium and its inhabitants,” Luckermans wrote. “So allow me to help them out a bit…”
The list is followed by two paragraphs on what Belgians do like to talk about, including jokes about the royalty, comic strips, traffic, politics, pralines and cycling. But one of the most amusing parts about the blog post is the multitude of charged comments underneath it.
