Default Belgium and the Netherlands are different

Dalquaz & others were talking about Gent, Leuven and Dutch, so i now have the question if they know the difference between Belgium and the Netherlands?
This because Gent and Leuven are Belgian (student)cities!!!! (cities with university)
"De Naaktkalender" is a Belgian public tv series, mainly on tv every year short after summer about the making of a naked charity calendars. "Blootgewoon" is the Dutch equivalent to "De Naaktkalender" and on Dutch public televison from half August to the beginning of September.
In the north and western part of Belgium they also speak Dutch just as in the Netherlands, in the rest of Belgium they speak French besides a small area in the east/north-east not far from the German city Aachen were they speak German.


ps. Thanks for those nice contributions till now.
