:''Free use of Internet in every city library'', Can anybody confirm-infirm that and complete the information? I personnally I'm not very sure of that statement. [[User:Maplefanta|Maplefanta]] 05:53, 28 July 2007 (CEST)
== Division ==
As it was done in other countries, maybe it could be useful to have the table division here too for the Flemish - Walloon cities? I don't know how to build table (nor how to access them to correct them). [[User:Maplefanta|Maplefanta]] 01:52, 5 December 2007 (CET)
Hey Maplefanta, it's quite easy. I'll try write a help-article on how to create a table the next days :) How do you think to divide Belgium? In Flemish/Walloon parts? Or maybe directly in the 10 regions of Belgium? Think we should be careful with that because of the current political situation there ;) [[User:platschi|platschi]]<small><sup>[http://hoerstel.travelblog.ch site], [[user talk:platschi|wikitalk]]</sup></small> 13:18, 5 December 2007 (CET)
:: The 2 official divisions possibilities are: the '3 regions' (Vlaanderen / Brussels / Wallonie) ; the second is the 10 provinces 'Flemish' (Vlaams-Brabant / Limburg / Antwerpen / Oost-Vlaanderen / West-Vlaanderen) 'Walloons' (Liege / Brabant-Wallon / Luxembourg / Hainault / Namur) and Brussels. I think this last one might actually be too narrowed for a hitching description? But I don't mind as both are genuine. [[User:Maplefanta|Maplefanta]] 19:20, 5 December 2007 (CET)
:::Well, currently I also divided the [[Netherlands]] into its regions. So if people are really hitching in the NL and want to see specific regions, they can look there. No idea how to manage it with Belgium. Maybe we just create Category pages for the provinces, like for the NL. Some weeks ago I already added [[:Category:Vlaams-Brabant|Vlaams-Brabant]] to the wiki, and [[:Category:Limburg|Limburg]] could be also used for both countries.

I don't think there is need for divisions here. As a hitchhiker who lives in Gent, thats in the Flemish part, I will try to clarify a bit these "disivions". In my opinion, Belgium is a fairly easy country to hitchhike. In general you could say that people have good intentions and are quite willing to take hitchhikers. That doesn't differ much, Flanders and Wallony are quite equal in those regards. Practically although, you might find hitchhiking to be easier in Flanders. Why? Well, thats very easy. There is higher density of population, of cars, of roads, or gasstations and other infrastructure. Just compare the stretch Brussels - Arlon (the main motorway in Wallony) to Brussels - Oostende or Gent - Antwerp, and you will see what I mean. I swear to God, in Flanders you can be in the most forsaken motorway entry and you're out of there in 30 mins. Especially if you know where to stand, in cities like Gent, Antwerp and Brussels, hitchhiking is a piece of cake.
About the library issue, in Gent its free to use the Internet. I suppose its the same in other cities. --[[User:Banzai|Banzai]] 21:34, 14 August 2008 (CEST)
