Next we headed Brussels. It took only half an hour from Antwerp to Brussels. It was an enjoyable trip and we continued to have very nice roads the entire way. But the most pathetic part was our bus driver lost his way. After an hour of indiscriminate running finally he could find the bus stoppage.

Apple has caught a lot of flak for locking down the iPhone to AT&T's network, but rumors have been going around that Apple may not be as dedicated to that business model as previously suspected. Reports from Belguim claim that the country will be getting the 3G iPhone by the end of June. Further reports claim that India and Australia will be getting the device later this year.
Astel.be is reporting that along Belgium will be among the next countries to receive the new 3G iPhone.The iPhone is expected to be compatible with all Belgian operators, and similar to the Italian rumors it is expected to launch on Mobistar a few months in advance.

From: Americans Learn The Global Art Of the Cheek Kiss Whatever happened to shaking hands? There is something so American about the firm control of a handshake -- it's about disarming one's opponent and keeping him two feet at bay. Control is in our DNA. This is why travel guides must spell the social kiss out for us: In France, generally two cheeks, or four, no lips; in parts of Belgium, three cheeks, and so on. But Americans are now learning to perform the social kiss. The dexterous cover all bases. Jim Murren, president and chief operating officer of Las Vegas gambling giant MGM Mirage, routinely cheek-kisses, then mentions his wife, Heather, to make it clear that the kiss was just a kiss.

When the news of the revolt of the people of Brussels reached the European courts in September, 1830, it touched the sensitive nerves of international organization and of political philosophy which were woven together in the history of the preceding forty years. Thus it is necessary to turn back to the year 1790 in order to grasp the exact character and the effect of this event, for the antecedents of the period of Belgian political independence show plainly the play of the forces which were to influence the course of the entire century to follow. The intellectual, social, and political movement known as the French Revolution had upset the ideas and the political order of Europe during a quarter of a century before its final collapse at Waterloo--in the heart of Belgium--on June 18, 1815.
From 1804 to 1814, under the Napoleonic Empire, the Belgian Provinces, although thoroughly unified and centralized, were unscrupulously robbed. In no other period of her history had Belgium been so drastically transformed. Her government was radically modified. Her communal and provincial institutions were unified. Equality of rights among citizens of the various provinces was acknowledged and upheld. Class distinction was abolished, and the development of commerce and industry paved the way for the ascent of the "bourgeoisie." The proletariat, however, fell into increasing misery. After 1809 grudges against the Emperor began to multiply until, in 1814, the French were forced to evacuate. The success of the Belgians in casting off the yoke of France was followed by abuses from their libera
In 1598 Philip gave the provinces to his daughter, Isabella, who shortly afterward married the Archduke Albert of Austria. Belgium, for the first time, was recognized as a separate sovereignty by the Powers of Europe. This independent status, unfortunately, did not last long. In 1621 the Archduke Albert died, leaving no children, and the provinces reverted to the King of Spain, Philip IV. War broke out again. Belgium was now squeezed between Holland and France. Richelieu made known his policy by stating that wherever ancient Gaul had existed a new Gaul must be set up. In conformity with his natural boundary theory, he was determined to extend the borders of France to the Rhine. This would necessitate the annexation of Belgium--the country that stood between him and his objective. The Treat
During the struggle with Philip the Fair, Count Guy of Flanders, although supported by the guilds and by Edward I of England, was made a prisoner. In retaliation the people of Bruges massacred all Frenchmen in the city. Philip sent in a strong army to subdue the rebels. On July 11, 1302, in the Battle of the Golden Spurs at Courtrai (Kortrijk), however, the French were defeated by the Flemish militia. The result of this victory was the emancipation of Flanders. It also barred the road to the Rhine, so far as France was concerned. France now tried to bring about, through a policy of matrimonial alliances, that which she had not been able to achieve by force. To this end Charles V of France secured for his brother, Philip the Bold, Duke of Burgundy ( 1384-1404), the hand of the rich heiress,
The origin of the first inhabitants of Belgium is not known. It is certain that cave men and lake dwellers lived in this region which now comprises modern Belgium. Human bones, fossils, and tools are the only evidence of a long evolution. It is believed that the people inhabiting the area between the North Sea and the rivers Waal, Rhine, Marne, and Seine reached there about 300 B.C. Before the Christian era, Belgium became known through Greek and Roman writers, particularly Julius Caesar, who called it Gallia Belgica. The people were either of Celtic or Germanic stock, and their courage was known to be superior to that of their neighbors, the Gauls and the Aquitani. "Of all these tribes," says Caesar, "the Belgae are the most courageous." They did not have sufficient strength to resist the
The central part of the country is a slightly higher plateau which covers part of Hainaut, of Brabant, of Namur (Namen), and borders on Liége (Luik). There the land is undulating, the soil is rich, the climate milder than in the rest of the country. A great number of wide valleys appear, and to the north of this region one finds the last impressive remnants of the expansive Coal Forest which was a dividing line between the Franks and the Celts at the beginning of the Christian era. Toward the west of the central part is located the Hesbaye region, an accentuated, fertile terrain consisting of a crevassed plateau covered with a thick layer of clay soil. The southern part of Belgium is a comparatively high plateau; it begins at some 600 feet on the right bank of the Meuse (Maas), and rises
At first sight, so many centrifugal forces appear to be at work in Belgium that her existence as a political unit seems paradoxical. Geologically, her northern as well as her southern regions prolong the territorial characteristics of Germany and France. Linguistically, nearly half her population lies in the orbit of France, which country possesses a strongly radiating cultural attraction, whereas the majority of her inhabitants speak the language of her northern neighbors, the Dutch. There are no national boundaries to protect the country from incursions or invasion, and the North Sea coastline is absolutely flat. Thus, throughout her history, technically as well as spiritually, Belgium has been exposed to intermittent pressure from without. Within her boundaries, local linguistic nationa

The Destruction of the Jews of Belgium
The German Blitzkrieg overruns Belgium
The Germans invaded Belgium and Holland on the 10 May 1940, as part of the Plan Yellow, and the Western campaign came face to face with Blitzkrieg – Lightning War.
On 28 May 1940 Belgium capitulated to the Germans on the terms of unconditional surrender, King Leopold and Queen Elizabeth decided to remain in Belgium and not escape to England.
There were approximately 85,000 Jews in Belgium just before the war, all but a few of them in the two cities of Antwerp and Brussels. Yet when the Germans on 28 October 1940 forced all Jews to register with the police, the total number registered was only 42,000.
While part of the difference was due to the mass flight acros

Here we have the superb blond celebrity, who goes by the name of Scarlett Johansson! You’ve probably know her from movies like Ghost World, Lost in Translation or Girl with a Pearl Earning! Or maybe you know her better from Justin Timberlake “What comes around goes around” music video, where she’s playing the role of his sweetheart! I haven’t wrote any articles on Scarlett Johansson because she is a very quiet celebrity, and you can’t get anything on her, except boring news! This time however everything’s the opposite way! She’s giving a very awesome cleavage show in Elle Magazine, and I said to myself this is the perfect opportunity to introduce Scarlett Johansson to my boobs site!

Is Withholding Tax applicable on the interest remitted abroad by an Indian Corporate and can this be claimed back by the party receiving the money in the foreign country from the tax department. How would this work in case of the DTAA between India and Belgium.Ruby Vazirani The Indian corporate will have to deduct the tax under section 195 if the loan was borrowed from non resident company and loan was utilised for any business carried out in India. This is on account of section 9(v) income by way of interest payable by (b) a person who is a resident, except where the interest is payable in respect of any debt incurred, or moneys borrowed and used, for the purposes of a business or profession carried on by such person outside India or for the purposes of making or earning any income from any source outside India ; orSince that interest accrued in hand of non resident company is taxable in India , the payer is required to deduct tax at source.

Halfway between Bruges and Brussels is Ghent (Gent). Like Bruges, much of Ghent's medieval architecture remains intact. Like Brussels, it has a lively nighlife and arts scene.
