We are planing to visit to Brussels for a city break and are looking for a hotel during our stay.

Am I doing something wrong with my digital radio - it retunes itself constantly and the sound quality is not that good? It's a small Sony so I expected it to be ok.

Hello All, I've been in Belgium a few years now and have never bothered to get mutual cover. I'm quite young, fit and always couldn't find the motivation to go through a load of Belgian bureaucracy as I didnt know how long i'd be here.  Anyways, it's come to the point where I think i'll finally do it, however before I get down to it. Has anyone been in this position and can verify. Will they try to charge me back the years I have been working here (Never used any health care at all) ?   I would be grateful for advice.   Thanks
