• We owe “spa” to the Belgians. Spa might be a tiny town in Belgium. But that’s where the word spa comes from. Back in ancient times, Romans used to visit the settlement to bathe in the famous cold springs. They did that for health and healing purposes. Or at least that’s what they said…
• New York City was founded by a Belgian. One of the world’s most important cities – New York – owes its creation to a Belgian man. Peter Minuit joined the Dutch West India Company and traveled to the Americas searching for tradable goods. When he arrived in America, he got into discussions with the local native tribes along the Hudson River. Eventually, he bought the land of Manhattan – one of the most expensive areas in the world nowadays. The price? Just 60 guilders, or $1,500 in today’s money.
• Belgium holds the world record for the longest period without a government.
• Belgium ruled a colony, which was 80x bigger than its size. Belgian Congo, located in Central Africa, was part of the Belgian Colonial Empire from 1908 until 1960.
• Jazz wouldn’t be jazz without the Belgians.
• Belgium has three official languages, and none of them is Belgian. Two are predominant – Dutch (or Flemish) in Flanders, and French in Wallonia. In a small part of the country – the eastern Liège province – people speak German.
• It rarely snows. While in the Ardennes region, snow precipitations occur on 30 to 35 days, the Flanders sees fewer than 15 days of snow on average. The seacoast gets even less snow. This temperate, maritime climate makes Belgium good for traveling during most of the year. Bringing an umbrella wouldn’t hurt, though.
• Brussels takes the second place after New York City in terms of international presence. The Belgian capital is home to 120 international governmental organizations, more than 1,400 non-governmental organizations (NGOs), and 180+ embassies that employ over 3,000 diplomats.
