I'm Belgian, and so I like beer. One of my favourite is the "Triple Westmalle" a "trappist beer"... do you know? But during summer I regularly enjoy pastis Ricard (alcohol with anis, water and ice cubes). In exceptional circomstances, I never refuse some french Champagne. As NA drink, I like iced tea.

Well, through my existence different persons had influenced my life. First of all, of course, my parents. Then, friends and teachers. Eventually, my wife did it. But now, I don't think I'm still influenced by anybody. Maybe do I now influence somebody on my turn?

I live in Brussels (Belgium), more or less the capital of the European Union. Winters are cold but we quite rarely see snow... and with the global warming, things aren't going in the right direction!!

we definitely need native speakers as group members. This is a call to them: hi friends from UK, USA, "Aussie land", New Zealand, .... come on join the group ! you are more than welcome !!!!

well, why not? But this is a language learning site and not a psychoanalysis meeting, so let's stay general and positive !!

when over 40, I believe that you have to think to yourself a bit after generally a long period during which you only lived for children education; you still exit as a person and individuality. Personalities changed, passions and hobbies changed too, sometimes it happens that the couple cannot live on a harmonous way anymore. If in this situation, there is a formidable choice to do at this point in time: either you try to keep your couple living as far as possible but not on an harmonour-s way, either you choice to separate and take another start ... but this is a VERY individual and VERY difficult choice. But you are worth to do this choice.
