I thought you were Flemish and not Waloon? Isn't there a bit of a language barrier there?
I'm Flemish. There was a language barrier. I had difficulties talking to the French protestors, but i always said something like: "je parle un peu de francais, mais pas bien", but I think people did understand me when i talked to them. It was a good experience, something i very much liked.
Yesterday i joined a manifestation/demonstration for our social security. There were 20.000 demonstrators, and i was one of them. My party was present too, and campaigned and had an own podium where they argued for better pensions and sang: tous ensemble, allemaal samen heuj heuj heuj". It was really fun, which means: "all together". They're very pro-Belgian and most in favour of unification. All other parties are for some kind of split, but we're the only unionist party.
