The 19th edition of The Hints Book: Living and Working in Belgium is 320 pages of information and honest advice on every aspect of life in Belgium.

There is also a concise summary of Belgian history, an explanation of the language issue, public administration, worship, recycling, legal rights and obligations, the postal service, banking, schools, transportation, local customs and folklore, advice on house-hunting, a glossary of foods and cooking terms, and more – all at your fingertips.
Dozens of full-color photographs, helpful French and Dutch words and phrases, and a handy index add to the book’s usefulness. The chapter “Things to Know before You Go” is essential reading for anyone planning to relocate to the Capital of Europe. The Hints Book is a great resource – even long-term residents here find it indispensable.
