Any Belgium-based /trv/ellers here? What's the country actually like?

I spent a couple of days in Brussels and it seemed very quiet and sedate (around the centre). With an unemployment rate of 22% I thought it'd be pretty rough, like most places with high unemployment.

So I'd like to know more about the country. Is there animosity between the Flemish and Walloons? Does the high unemployment rate make people radged like in Britain, or is everyone just sitting around sipping fine beer?

What are the people like? Is it worth considering a career there? (Britfag BTW.)
