Belgians residing in the USA will receive mail from the consulate: forms to register for the upcoming Belgian parliamentary elections in 2007.

No need to go to the consulate if you wanna vote, you can do it by mail.

OK, I've got the flu so bear with me a bit, my brains feel mushy

All I do is, fill out this one sheet (the one where I choose my preferred way of voting) and then mail that back to the embassy, correct?

Exactly. There's not much to it.

Beterschap, de griep is niet leuk.

BRUSSELS, Belgium - Suddenly and shockingly, Belgium came to an end. State television broke into regular programming late Wednesday with an urgent bulletin: The Dutch-speaking half of the country had declared independence and the king and queen had fled. Grainy pictures from the military airport showed dark silhouettes of a royal entourage boarding a plane.

Only after a half hour did the station flash the message: "This is fiction."

It was too late. Many Belgians had already fallen for the hoax.

Frantic viewers flooded the call center of the RTBF broadcaster that aired the stunt. Embassies called Belgian authorities to find out what was going on, while foreign journalists scrambled to get confirmation.

"Ambassadors who were worried asked what they had to tell their capitals," said Senate Chair Anne-Marie Lizin. "This fiction was seen as a reality and it created a catastrophic image of the country."

RTBF defended the program, saying it showed the importance of debate on the future of Belgium. But the network won few friends.
