2022•Belgium - Along the riverside

Other than the linguistic border that separates the Germanic from Latin history, the Scheldt and Meuse rivers not only connect two regions, Flanders and Wallonia, into Belgium, but also serve as the vital arteries through which the rich tapestry of cultural, historical, and economical aspects that collectively form the Belgian identity are woven. Along the picturesque riverside, I found myself wholly immersed in the intricate blend of influences, traditions, and historical legacies that have intricately shaped this diverse and endlessly fascinating nation. As I wandered along the meandering banks and gazed upon the charming towns and villages nestled in their embrace, I marveled at the timeless beauty and the palpable sense of history that seemed to flow along with the gentle currents of these historic rivers.In parallel worlds, I have witnessed the interdependence of both regions, recognizing that they require one another, rather than existing independently, to foster a prosperous and diverse cultural, historical, and economic future.
