What is your culture like? 
In Belgium there are 3 different types of secondary schools; general, professional and technical. Our school is a general school winch allows us to enter university upon graduation.
Many pupils in our class go to school by bus, some by car and the ones that live in La Roche walk to school. After school we all have different activities; mainly sports like: soccer, tennis, ping-pong, swimming, basketball to name a few.
In Belgium, we have a king, even if he is just representative of the unity of the country. The chief of the federal government is the Prime Minister. He is the chief of the different ministers: Foreign Affairs, Finances, Mobility, Education,...
The food specialities of Belgium are Chocolate and fries. In our region, there is another speciality, it's game meat. Especially in autumn, when the hunting season is open, we eat wild boar or venison.

We would like to build a friendship with you.
If you like this idea, we could post each other on this blog and answer to our messages, we could also send personal e-mails for those who like. 

We hope to hear from you soon. Bye.
