Welp, my parents were running a little butcher shop in Bruxelles which was loosing money really fast... One of my parents relatives happened to be living in Australia and offered my father a job over there as a production manager in the small goods industry. Sooo, we moved here in Australia with only $500. But luckily with the Belgian government system, my mother was still getting her weekly wage for another 2 years sent to her bank account.
I was 7 years of age when we moved to Australia back in 1989.

Anyway, I have been back in Belgium since to visit family. Actually, I was at 'La Grande Place' - Bruxelles for the year 2000 count down. With fire crackers getting thrown around and that cool laser/lights show at the Kings palace. The beer there is much better than the weak beer here in Australia, that's for sure (oh, and the chocolate!).
That was one of the funnest nights I ever had. Actually, I even got into the night clubs without needing ID, and drank anything without getting asked for ID either (I was wasted).

There ya go, and now my french accent is gone and has been long replaced with the all might Aussie accent (not the case for my parents though: MUHAHAHA). I still speak fluent french, although I am illiterate in it (which comes naturally when leaving your country at only 7 years of age), and my Aussie accent is heard in my french.
