Robert,

Thanks for accepting me in the group Robert.
I’m living and working in Thailand, so basically am pretty far from my hometown Hasselt, Belgium.
Pretty cool to start this group as a Belgian Descendent.
If some members would like advice about Thailand or other I'd gladly assist in replying their queries

American Made Motorcycles for big savings shipped from America to YOU!


With the US Dollar at such a low point vs. the EURO and many other currencies, there are many opportunities to buy goods and services in the US for much less than in Europe, Asia, etc.

I have a post from someone who has access to American made motorcycles new or slightly used.

Do you wish to buy a motorcycle here and ship to you and save lots of money?

Give us the spec of what you wish to buy and we'll send the details to you. There is no obligation for your request.

Belgians invent a new game.........

From Reuters Newswire: May 20, 2008

BRUSSELS (Reuters) - Two Belgian beer fans have launched a video game named 'Place to Pee', which allows players to slalom down ski slopes or kill aliens while relieving themselves at urinals.


Werner Dupont, a software developer, and Bart Geraets, an electrical engineer, got the idea while drinking Belgian trappist beers, they told Reuters Television at a local festival on Sunday.

"This thing had to be invented by Belgian people and that's what we are," they said.

The 'Place to Pee' booth is designed for two users at a time and offers two games -- blowing up aliens in outer space or skiing down a virtual slope. Gamers hit their target by aiming at sensors positioned on either side of the urinal.

A specially designed paper cone allows women to play too, the inventors say.

Their 'Place to Pee' logo resembles 'Manneken Pis', the little urinating boy fountain that is among Brussels' top sightseeing attractions.
