The hard reality of Belgium

I spend in average 1/6 of a day on in my car ! With all the disadvantages of that : backache, stress and the most... wasting my time :-(

I've tried to leave at every hour, early morning :

late :

always with the same result :

and it’s the same to come back from work, early :

I spend 2 hours to make those 100km that splits home form work. The bad point in Belgium is that if you want to join point A to point B you ALWAYS need to pass through point R0 => Brussels Ring !!

When will our Minister of Immobility try to find some solutions ??

The only good point is that if cars interest you, you can see some nice one :

but the better point is that these (flash) are not annoying you :

  • go with my motorbike but it’s expensive and not every time possible 🙁
