Welcome to te homepage of "Patrick"
Belgium is a small country in Europe and the village where I live is Kuurne, it's a small village about 90km of Brussels en 50km of the coast.
We are married on the 30 june 1979 and we have tree childeren, two boy's born in 1982 and 1984. And one girl born in 1986.
The first time that we came in contact with VT was at Sloveniä and it was jmarkoos that told us of VT.

Visit Belgium? Why?
It is a small but nice country with a lot of interesting place; nature, culture, architecture and off course the land with the best beer in te world!
I try to tast all the Belgium beers once and their are more than: 500?, 800?

Sport

Judo (meaning "gentle way", is a modern Japanese martial art and combat sport, that originated in Japan in the late nineteenth century. Its most prominent feature is its competitive element, where the object is to either throw one's opponent to the ground, immobilize or otherwise subdue one's opponent with a grappling manoeuvre, or force an opponent to submit by joint locking the elbow or by applying a choke. Strikes and thrusts (by hands and feet) — as well as weapons defences — are a part of judo, but only in pre-arranged forms (kata) and are not allowed in judo competition or free practice (randori).

I have a black belt (1 Dan) and I am proud of it!
