Belgians like above all to be practical, solid. They stand square and conduct conversation from the base of the neck. Courteous behaviour is expected: it is the natural product of right-mindedness. It is also practical: that is how you get on in the world. Belgians would be very happy indeed if all the world knew them to be good-natured, tolerant, individualistic, self-assertive, modest, moderate, and the embodiment of European ideals. This is a long-term project. Meanwhile being placed somewhere on the map of Europe will do.

Geben wir es ruhig zu: Die Anderen sind manchmal seltsam. Sie essen seltsame Dinge. Sie benehmen sich seltsam. Sie sind mal zu steif und mal ein bisschen zu locker. Sie lachen über Dinge, die nicht lustig sind. Das ist bei unseren belgischen Nachbarn nicht anders: Wer eine Zeit lang unter Belgiern lebt, wird sich über das ein oder andere wundern. Die Fremdenversteher liefern Antworten: Knapp, bissig und voller überraschender Einsichten. Am Ende ist klar: So sind sie eben, die Belgier!

Mit trockenem englischen Humor, Mut zur Lücke, einem lockeren Umgang mit der politischen Korrektheit – aber immer: feinsinnig und auf den Punkt. Die Fremdenversteher sind die deutsche Ausgabe der Xenophobe''s® Guides – bei Reise Know-How. Die Fremdenversteher: Empfohlen bei leichter bis mittelschwerer Xenophobie!
