BELGIUM ~Greetings from ~

Great postcard  showing my countries most famous and delicious products...Thanks a lot Johan!!
Photo: Andrew Critchell
- Belgium produce over 220.000 tonnes of chocolate per year
  Pralines, were first made in the year 1912 by Belgian Jean Neuhaus,
- We have  over 800 kinds of beer  with most of them served in their own special pint
- Diamond industry in Antwerp
- Lace from Bruges, Gent and Brusssels
- Delicious mussels and frites (frites not from france but Belgium)
- Most famous fountain is tiny (61cm in height) Manneken Pis in Brussels

Stamp:
TBC-Post label!
Should have been my first stamp of the only Private Post in Belgium...unfortunately they put this label on the stamp (I think there is a stamp under this sticker... I couldn't remove it without damaging the postcard)...
They seem to use "blue postboxes" but I've never seen one in my neighbourhood...
