I live near Ieper, Belgium. It's known as one of the major battlefields of World War One - over half a million British and German soldiers died in these fields between 1914 and 1918. Also, Adolf Hitler was stationed here during the war, about six miles from my house.
For Belgium as a whole, I guess what we're most famous for is our beer (a few hundred different brands on a population of 10 million).
