Belgium has some of the tastiest foods in the world. But that's just some of the great things that helps draw attention for tourism. It also has a great and very important economy that helps build their communities. Belgium also has very good athletes in all of the sports that are played there.

Soccer and rugby are two of Belgium's most popular sports because they are hard to play, have lots of rules, one gets the best work out, and they are suppose to be the most fun. But there is a lot of jump ropers in Belgium too, so one could have an easier work out day. There are seven or eight professional soccer teams in Belgium, thirteen rugby teams and one worldwide known jump roping team.

All of the sports are a lot like Belgium's industries because they are flexible and they have a great known income. One of Belgium's industries is Mining for Iron ore because it brings in just about half of they economy's money. Oil drilling is about a fourth of the economy's money. Glass manufacturing is another Belgium gets it's money. There are about different glass manufacturing jobs. There is a very five thousand big diamond manufacture, they look over each and every diamond to make sure it is perfect for people to buy. Ship docks on the other hand bring in and out resources for people to buy and sell.

There are many different types of transportation but here are a few. Belgians use Trucks because most of them live off road and it is hard to get to where they live with a little car so most of them don't have cars. Tractors are another way of getting into the city if the trail is rough or it is just a faster way then trying to get stuck with a little car. People use trucks and tractors in Belgium because they are tough and long lasting. They also use planes so they can get into their camps or to there homes out of town. Most of the trails there are very rugged and it is just easier to buy or rent a plane for the weekend then to try and drive back that far for just a day trip when one wont even get half way. They also use boats so they can go fishing, or just to have a fun time. Boats are very important to Belgians because they are used for different things. They also use boats and planes for hunting because then they can see the animals easier and faster. Bikes are another type of transportation and they are use for just biking around or for a work vehicle.

Some of the vehicles in Belgium are very expensive and they are there to dress up a person like a limousines that are there for the rich and famous. And Mercedes are a very nice and l. But most people dress up for work because they think that if they dress good when you are at work you will succeed in a lot of other types of things. But they also dress up when the go to restaurants so that they can be looking at there best. Belgians don't usually dress up for Church because in their religions they try to be normal and not try to over do themselves and just be normal. Then also don't dress up when then go to each others houses.

Belgians dress up for holidays if they are interacting with their friends or family. Some of the Holidays that Belgian's have are New Years, New Years is just like our New Years because we celebrate it in the same way as they do we have the countdown, music, Laughter, and the big surprise at midnight. They also have Easter Monday, Fourth of July, Independence Day. They celebrate it more then Americans do, by having carnivals and fun games through out the day. Its a lot like our Fourth of July.

Lots of different kinds of foods are presented at just about all of the festivals. Here is one of the favorite types of foods, Game birds are very important to most of the people. Because it is a very nutritious and it "tastes really good" says on of the interviewees. Pork is another very important kind of food it has lots of good stuff in it and it is made for like dinner, festivals, or just to have. There is a lot of different kinds of beers. There is over 300 different kinds that is a whole lot. It is a proven fact that if a person takes a sip of each and every one that they will be drunk off of about the Hundredth sip. Unless they are use to drinking large quantities. Mussels are one of Belgian's favorite type of food. A mussel is a lot like a clam. But people say that it doesn't taste anything like a clam. There is so many different types of chocolates in Belgium because they like to have desserts, or just to have a snack.
There are about five of six different kinds of live stalk in Belgium, Here are a few, Cows, sheep and pigs are just a few of the animals that crowd the farm. They use live stalk for several different reason, they use them for food, pets.

Belgium depends on its economy and food. Transportation has helped Belgium grow. It helps manufactured foods to get in and out of Belgium's economy. Belgium's economy has some of the best shaped minerals in the world. Another thing that Belgium's tourists can enjoy is the holidays, wildlife, and sports. Belgium might be little but it has a lot to offer.
