Thanks for the links Henry!

In the same time, that helps to improve my, long time not practiced, "vlaamse taal"...

But still nothing in the french speaking papers (Le Soir, D.H., La Libre)... bloody lazy walloons!

And I wonder just who was exploiting who.

Exactly!!

It is not like the subject persons did not have a choice (whether to go or not go)

Finally we have it in french

http://www.dhnet.be/infos/faits-divers/art...ste-arrete.html

By the way the walloons are not lazy

It is that Vlanderen consider herselve as an independant country,so journalists have to hold a visa to cross the "linguistic border"

They learned from watching "Matroesjka's 2"

Thanks for the links Henry!

If you are Belgian, you should understand my cynicism.

One of my grandmother was from Ardennes (Tellin)...

But being born in Lubumbashi, should I consider myself Congolese?!?

No problem, I was only joking. I hope I did not offended you, its was really not my intention, if so I do apologize, I really have not any ill feelings against Walloons or French talking people

With Flemish nationalistic greetings

So do I, it was just humor (Brussels kind of...)

Anyway back to Henry topic, we missed the good remark, in the post from "Tartempion":

that's really sound as a bad remake of "Matroesjka's 2"

Could I suggest somebody explain us what is exactly "Matroesjka's 2"

I think it is a flemish TV soap opera but never see it

Could I suggest somebody explain us what is exactly "Matroesjka's 2"

Not a soap opera at all, a very good quality TV serie, internationally acclaimed.

VTM production, I think.

Matroesjka -three years after-, the trailer (english)

And if you like it, just google it and you'll find a lot of free download, in many languages.

Enjoy...

Exactly!!

It is not like the subject persons did not have a choice (whether to go or not go)

Whether or not the ladies involved knew what they were getting into, their activites in a Western country confirm once again why it is so difficult for perfectly genuine westerners to sponsor women from countries like Thailand, either as spouses or as visitors.
