Brussels - Capital of Belgium This is a street scenary in the Hoogstraat in BXL - in front of the restaurant "Ici Méme" A golden tip of my friend Ingrid and a memory on strip albums of the most famous belgian cartoonist Hergé. Hergé - a pseudonym of Georges Remi's initials (G.R.) in reverse (R.G.) - is the creator of the highly popular comic characters.(Kuifje-Tintin and also Quick and Flupke as shown on my photo !)
If you ask an American "Where is Belgium?"-there is a big chance he/she doesn't know. If you ask him - "Where is Brussels/Mannekenpis/Bruges - there is a chance he locates this nice country somewhere in Europe-Near Paris or Amsterdam. But dear VT-travellers - Belgium is indeed a small country - but worth while to visit for more than only one or two days ! |
|  | Suske and Wiske Belgium is also famous for it's authors of strips albums - like Suske and Wiske - Kiekeboe etc. enjoying every member of the family from 7 till 77 years old. Can you tell me the names of Suske and Wiske published in other countries - like Russia - Italy - short all over the world. |
