? Je suis un peu confuzzl�... tu peux me l'expliquer un peu plus? (Je suis pas si au courant avec les actus belges. )

Bien s�r qu'on a tous les r�ves d'aller � l'�tranger apr�s Pas tout de suite pour moi alors. Mais je vais rendre visite au consul g�n�ral pour essayer d'obtenir un passeport allemand (car maman �tait allemand avant qu'elle est devenue australienne) pour que je puisse mieux visiter les pays d'Europe (alors, au moins les pays dy "Schengen"...) - mais d'ici en 5-6 ans je serai en Allemagne/ en France

ALORS - back to the actual subject of the thread, hehe. Heard a song on SBS radio Saturday night by this someone called Tri Yann 'La mer est sans fin', sort of a cover with the tune of that 'When I survey the Wondrous Cross' hymn. Very nice.

Super, tu as visit� la Belgique, quelle chance ..
Je vais donc visiter un peu ton site, pour voir s'il y a quelque chose d'int�ressant

Je connais Dutroux avec l'histoire de Julie et M�lissa et c'est tout ..
Que se passe-t-il?

Et j'ai aussi entendu la version de La Vie En Rose de Patricia Kaas .. pas mal, mais j'aime plus la version originale

The trial of Dutroux, apparently it is at the moment the biggest news in Belgium. From what I have gathered, in 1996, he eventually got arrested for kidnapping and raping little girls. I think four of them died and two of them survived. and that he buried little girls in his backyard and starved them to death etc... His trial just started at the beginning of March and it's one of the most important current affairs in Belgium. It'll last for three months. that's all I know about it.

Ahh k. Nice sordid story! I'll ask my french teacher who's an ex-belgian to see if she's omniscient in this news.

Also sugary, while you were there, was there this big difference between the Flemish Belgians and the Francphone Belgians? (I forget the actual names of the two groups?) Because all the little write-ups on Belgium around that I've read seem to be describing this big sort of tension between the two linguistic/(cultural?) groups??

Je viens de t�l�charger celle de Patricia Kaas, et c'est beau Je peux entendre ce que tu parles de sa voix. Celle d'Edith a toujours sa place dans le coeur alors... mais j'adore Patricia dans cette version!

J'ai t�l�charg� "Hymne � l'amour", interpret� par Patricia, en duo avec Johnny Hallyday, et pour moi c'�tait horrible! La version originale est toujours meilleure que la nouvelle (si c'est vraiment la version originale?)... je suppose que les autres chansons de Patricia Kaas sont beaucoup plus belles que �a. Il faut que je sois patient pour qu'iMesh puisse les t�l�charger.

[Jun Jun]

Si tu t'int�resses � Patricia Kaas, t�l�charge la chanson 'V�nus des Abribus' ou quelque chose comme �a, c'est une bonne chanson ....
Et les noms des 2 groupes Belges .. je crois que c'est
1. Brabant Wallon
2. Brabant Flamand

[chepas]

Merci mille fois Jun Jun! J'oublie toujours...

R�cemments les infos sur la t�l� nous ont montr�s un peu de l'histoire du Dutroux, et sur Le Journal sur SBS... Arlon se situe vraiment pr�s de la fronti�re allemande, quand tu �tais l�, sugary, y'avait-il beaucoup de mouvements et des gens qui traversaient la fronti�re quotidiennement? Je m'int�resse beaucoup aux fronti�res......

Sugary, qui est le mec dans ton avatar? S'il est 'gorgeous'

Revenons au premier sujet alors, la chanson du film "Les triplettes de Belleville" est tr�s cool... t�l�chargez-la Mais la version de Benoit Charest est la meilleure. Le film sera � l'affiche tr�s t�t en mai je pense...

[Kazuya]

A mon avis, les plus belles chansons sont celles de Christophe, qui est un chanteur tr�s c�l�bre. Si on a l'occasion, il faut t�l�charger "Aline" et "Mere, Tu Es La Seule". Elles sont des chansons d'amour, by the way (?).

[chepas]

Oooh - listening to nice rendition of "Seul" by Don Juan streaming... very repetitve though.

[chepas]

Et "Vivre" chant�e par H�l�ne Segara. Qu'elle est belle (la chanson. J'ai jamais vu son visage!!)

Patricia Kaas is completely a typical french singer- but her voice is magnificent. I saw her on TV overseas and she had such an amazing presence.

Hmm...France has not escaped the Britney Spears pop princess thing...they even have their own clones, called Loree and Alizee...

But I must say, French rap is not half as good as english speaking rap. I don't think french has the same sort of syncopation we can achieve.

J'�spere que �a t'a plu. ALors, mon voyage en Belgique �tait tr�s bien pass�, pourtant un peu court. J'y �tais pour trois mois comme un �tudiant libre au lycee. J'habitais � Arlon- la ville avec le process Dutroux (des nouvelles Belges au sujet de 'p�dophile'?) Je peux dire que c'�tait un experience inoubliable J'aimerais beaucoup y revenir un jour mais c'est un r�ve

Its amazing how such a small country can offer such an amout of great experiences. When did you go? I have been fortunate to spend around a month or so there about 4 times in the last 5 years, and I originally thought it would be a bit boring because of it's conservative nature, but apparently not But I'm jealous- you went to school there? Lucky thing...Instead of Schoolis, if I do well, I plan to go there for a couple of months before uni

I went from Jan to mid March. Wow, I envy you. Do you have relatives there?? I would LOVE to have relatives in Europe but unfortunately have none

It was a fantastic experience, sounds like cliche but it definitely WAS an adventure and like a dream (if I haven't said a million times already! LOL)

I reckon it's better than wasting your money on schoolies. It was just amazing going to school in snow!!! Oh, and as a bonus, you get free alcohols on the plane

[chepas]

Wow, so many people with lasting solid connections with their country! Yeh, I have German rellies on mum's side, but we haven't spoken for aaaages, probably our lazy fault really, but yer, it will be cool to go and see them in their country - never been to Europe before But according the German law I don't qualify for the passport as mum lost her citizenship, even though she was born there to Ger. parents... an EU passport would have been mad!! Maybe I might immigrate there someday... hehe. Hey yeah, would you ever immigrate to Europe, or is it a place where it's good to spend a long time there but not forever, cos I asked some teachers who are European and they would never go back bhome mainly because of the cold!

That's it. Screw Coffs Harbour in December... save it for the Europe Fund... Not that close to the school mates anyway

But booze on the plane, doesn't that cause some sort of dehydration/DVT something? But all the same - free!

And waht's the snow like? not like this clumpy ice crap down in the Snowy Mountains, but like the real powdery snow that's soft, that I was expecting down there? like, what you see in videos and docos and stuff?

not in Belgium...its kinda like sludge or just icy so you slip, and it rains and rains and rains:rolleyes...but thats cool, no complaints! I might also go to Bavaria...

Sugary, I don't have relos there, its just that my parents were expats so we have lots of friends around the world from expat communities....I want to be an expat tooo...Will I ever make enough money to support my lifestyle? :
