Is GTR Available In Belgium?
I'm travelling from Canada to Brussels on business next week, and since I won't have time to pop over to Germany, just wondering if there's anyplace in Brussels where I can buy GTR. Thanks, Zim |

Actually it's being sold in german speaking countries, which include Germany, Austria and Switzerland. And that of course pretty much excludes Belgium... -- - Jussi Koukku - |

I though Belgium was officially tri-lingual - in any case, there is a (small) german speaking part somewhere. Dunno if that's enough to be able to buy GTR :-) -peter |

Street signs were in two languages (french and flemish I think) though. -- - Jussi Koukku - |

I doubt you'd find a computer shop there, so you might as well just drive the extra 30km to Aachen. > Brussels seemed to be very much single-lingual though when I > was there couple of months ago... french that is.

Also, it's much easier for us Flemish guys to learn and speak French than the other way around, so one tends to use French instead of insisting on using Flemish, just to move things along. That said, there are a couple hard-heads out there, so, as a foreign national, it's best to start out in English and to only switch over to French if you can tell it's the other person's native tongue.
