    Belgian beers available in the U.S.

    I would like to know what Belgian dark beers are (and are not) exported to the U.S. The plan is to travel to the US, and make sure none of the precious little airline weight allowance is wasted on beer that's already shipped there. I know Chimey Blue is available in the U.S. Has anyone...

    French classes for English speakers -- do they exist in Belgium?

    French classes tend to be advertised as the "full immersion" style of teaching. I would be interested in finding non-immersion French classes, where some of the instruction is in English, at least initially.

    getting quick service at a Belgian commune

    I notice the brussels commune floods with people before they open, with residents competing for low numbers. Is the early rush just people needing to get to work? Is service quicker when arriving later, like 11am?

    The good beers are in glass - I want plastic bottles, or something lightweight

    With overseas shipping costs so high, it hardly makes sense to ship glass bottles of beer. Is there any way to buy good beer (e.g. Rochfort 10) in a plastic bottle? Or perhaps a thin walled keg that has been crated?

    Economy Belgian banks to block debit card use outside Europe

    Most of the banks in Belgium have recently decided that fraud outside of Europe is too frequent, and on Jan.17, 2011 will prevent their debit cards from working outside of Europe. This could amount to a substantial inconvenience to travelers. I don't have permission to post links, but I...

    Virtual offices in Belgium

    I need a physical address in Belgium to start an SPRL. I will not use my residential (hotel) address because I move around too much. The common practice is to use the accountants address. I am opposed to that partly because I do not want to add any complexities to being able to change...

    the never-ending search for an accountant in brussels

    How do folks go about finding a motivated accountant? My search started off looking for a competent, tax efficient accountant. Several accountants later, I'm realizing that my expectations are way too high. Now I just want to find one that is motivated enough to respond to emails...
