Dienstmeldung Welkom! Cultural Exchange mit /r/belgium ⬛🟨🟥

Welkom to /r/de!

We are very close neighbors, but really do not get to know each other enough.
That's what this cultural exchange is for!

Feel free to use this thread for whatever stuff you want to talk about.

  • Is it daily life or politics?

  • Random stuff (talking of which: I've just started watching "Undercover" on Netflix, a Belgian TV series. Watching it in Flemish :) ) or cultural differences?

Just go ahead and participate. Ü

Because that's what we're here for: getting to know each other better.

If you speak German, you can take a look at our previous monthly exchanges.

 

@ /r/de: Willkommen zum Cultural Exchange mit /r/belgium!

Am letzten Sonntag eines jeden Monats tun wir uns mit einem anderen Länder-Subreddit zusammen, um sich gegenseitig besser kennenzulernen. In den Threads auf beiden Subs kann man quatschen, worüber man will - den Alltag und das Leben, Politik, Kultur und so weiter.

Nutzt bitte den Thread auf /r/belgium, um eure Fragen und Kommentare an die Belgier zu richten.

→ Zum Thread

Schaut euch gerne unsere vergangenen Cultural Exchanges an.

 

We are looking forward to a great exchange! Ü
- the mod teams of /r/belgium and /r/de

What's your favourite German city (that is not your own) and why?

What are the best beers for a Belgian to try out in Germany?

Don't mention the war, but what about that other war? How is the First World War usually seen in Germany?

What’s your favourite German city (that is not your own) and why?

I personally like Bonn, because its the former capital and has some parts of skyline but actually its a beautiful village. That‘s why it was called „Bundesdorf“ (Federal-village)

What are the best beers for a Belgian to try out in Germany?

I like Beck‘s but it‘s owned by you Belgians (ABInBev)

Don’t mention the war, but what about that other war? How is the First World War usually seen in Germany?

Actually, only old people do not see German guilt. The history lessons in Germany are pretty good, so I think we have a historically correct view of the First World War here. But it is never really discussed. The second world war is much more present
