A short ride to Belgium/Поездка в Бельгию

Ever since the EU eliminated some borders, driving between countries is no big deal. Let's take a ride over to Belgium for a couple of hours. Entering Belgium, no borders, just a sign.

С тех пор как ЕС упразднило границы между некоторыми странами, путешествие "за границу" не является чем-то уж совсем необычным. Поехали прокатимся в Бельгию на пару часов. На въезде нет контроля, просто знак.


The next couple of signs usually tell the speed limits on the highways and in towns as well as other things drivers should be aware of.

Следующие несколько знаков обычно рассказывает про ограничения скорости в городе и по трассе, а также прочие правила дорожного движения в этой стране.





So this is Belgium.

Вот такая она, Бельгия.

German soccer fans/Немецкие футбольные фанаты

German soccer fans live in houses like these.

Немецкие футбольные фанаты живут в таких домах



.Probably use loofahs like these.

Наверное мылятся такими мочалками.
Probably wear underwear like these.

Наверное носят такие труселя.






Drive cars like these.

Ездят на таких машинах.



Eat such steaks.

Едят такой стейк.


And are probably now at the edge of their seats as their soccer team is leading in the game with France.

И сейчас они наверное с волнением ожидают конца игры пока их команда ведет в игре с Францией.
