Where are y'all from/at?

@santosbullshit Belgium

@jkb flemish or flanders?

@santosbullshit It's Flemish or Walloon / Flanders or Wallonia actually; and I'm in Wallonia, the french-speaking part.

@jkb so you don't speak dutch?

@santosbullshit A wee bit, and I'm ashamed of that to be honest. But as I live in the french-speaking part and at my company we speak english because of the staff diversity, I don't have much incentive to learn it properly.

@jkb so is english standardized there, like in the education system or nah?

@santosbullshit Pretty much everybody learns it at school as their second language yes, and because the UE institutions in Brussels attract people from all around Europe it's often the only language everybody has in common.

@jkb are you still culturally connected to the Netherlands or there's resentment or something like that?

@santosbullshit If there was resentment it's gone by now, and there is a shared culture (at least as far as beer and potatoes are concerned haha).

I see you're from Caracas, how's the situation in Venezuela? We're getting conflicting reports here, it's hard to understand what's going on and tell propaganda from fact.
