Description: Until 1993, Alec Le Sueur had never been to Belgium, so it came as some surprise when in August that year he found himself at the altar of a small church in Flanders, reciting wedding vows in Flemish. It was the start, for better or worse, of a long relationship with this unassuming and much maligned country. He decided to put worldwide opinion to the test: is Belgium really as boring as people say it is?
