Cultural differences

In Belgium, you only find students in parks, lying on the gras (mostly on their own clothes). The rest of the population, you only see in parks wandering around at weekends.

Quite some culture shock with Paris, where people are most people live in small apartments so are used to come out: chairs in all parks help them to come out… Meet other people… Maybe they should have higher house prices in Belgium too…

Authenticity

Authenticity is something strange… and dangerous.

For companies, this becomes more and more important (think of all the green washing issues).
However, also people should take care about what they say they are and what to show in their behavior.

A Peugeot 206 with stickers of Greenpeace and WWF that passes you at 140 km/h is probably not authentic…
