Where Should I go: Flanders or England?
Flanders
The Northern region of Belgium, commonly known as Flanders, is a popular destination for travelers. It includes well-known cities like Antwerp, Brussels, Ghent and Bruges. It is the Dutch-speaking region of Belgium and has many sights and historical attractions to see.
England
England is a destination people dream of – probably because England itself can be a dream. With double decker buses, quaint cottages and royal families, this country is the land of fairytales and folklore.
Do not confuse England for the United Kingdom or Great Britain. The UK, or Great Britain, is a constituent nation made up of England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.
This country of 52 million people has gained an awful reputation for being gray, cold and rainy. In truth, the temperatures never reach either extreme and the rain isn't as frequent as you'd think.
While most everyone in England speaks English, be ready for thick accents. Typically divided by northern, southern and London accents, many can be very difficult to understand and may as well be a language of their very own.
