Dobe-Dave
Introduction
I'm Dave from England, I spent a year in Holland and now I'm in French speaking Wallonia. I have started a business based in Namur and plan to stay in this fascinating country for a while. I enjoy meeting people and would like to meet English speakers that live nearby. I like to read and soak up this lazy, southern-european atmosphere. Everyone is welcome to message me.
I joined expat.com on 08 February 2012.

Expat experience
Starting a recycling business that covers the whole of Wallonia.
Quiet. Scenic in the sun. Friendly people. Old-fashioned. Central location in the region. Kriek and great lager. Wine for chips, and chips!
Quiet. I was Woefully unprepared for the genuine lack of English spoken here. Old-fashioned. Laid back pace of life is weird for an Englishman.
Worked in a variety of roles for a small business.
Affluent country seems to be booming despite the recession.
Overcrowded. Strange set of manners. Expensive. Rubbish beer and bars.
I grew up in Northumberland, England close to the Scottish border.
It's good old England!
Bad government has left a damaging legacy.
