See here the latest map for you to enjoy tourist attractions in Good Down Under!

The map is circulating here among joke-happy Beijing residents.
For our Aussie friends to feel better: Belgium is even more “interesting”. On Friday I had a private lunch here with our Belgian Ambassador and his wife (a very nice couple, BTW!). He was talking about the Belgian Government in a kind of “all swell” matter. By Saturday morning the government had disappeared in thin air. I now suggest Belgium does not mention anymore any of those headlines. Except to say, we DO have a government (and for longer than 6 months). Now, that would be news! Well, at least there is great news: for once it fell down not because of those silly Flemish/Walloon disputes.
On a more serious note, I was quite surprized to learn that Belgium’s GDP is around US$ 420 billion, at the same level as Switzerland and Sweden. I confess, not that bad for a country most of the time governmentless. Maybe that’s the reason?
