Aupair in Belgium
You do not have to speak Dutch or French to become an aupair in Belgium. This is the country for chocolate and beautiful hand-made lace! Brussels is a beautiful olde-world city with much to offer by way of atmosphere, interesting places to visit and great restaurants. Antwerp is a bus ride from Brussels, with wonderful art galleries, lovely shops and eating places, very historical... Ghent and Brugge are lovely cities too. There are many museums and theatres. Public transport is excellent. There are movies, restaurants, clubs and pubs. Belgium is not only a very cultured and cosmopolitan country but is also well placed for visiting other European countries.
