>>507441462 (OP)I traveled this 'country' extensively in mid-2010s.
The whole country felt like two distinct flavors of limbo. The French one stuck in the 80s and the Dutch one stuck in the same late 80s but a tad more 'progressive'. Both had a very certain charm, very vintage feeling if you might, but with a certain hint of 'dread', also the country was very rundown.
Oh wait, there was also Brussels. But we don't talk about that. Never. Avoid that place at all costs, I don't even want to know how it is 10 years later today.
