"Hi, I'm an 16 year old student and live in Brussels. My dad is from Belgium but my mum is Scottish and we've got a house in Scotland, so we go there quite a lot. I play tennis myself, but just for pleasure, and I love watching tennis. I've been following tennis for about 4 years now and have always been a huge fan of Tim Henman (yes, of course he'll win Wimbledon next year!) , Olivier Rochus (so sweet!) and, since he won the juniors US Open, Andy Murray of course!

"It's very interesting reading about everyone. Are you doing the Belgian equivalent if GCSEs crookshanks ? Where abouts in Belgium do you live ? I've been there once, a couple of years ago when I went to Brugge - one of the most quaint and delightful places I've ever visited. Saw all the churches and cathedrals of varying styles - like stepping back into medieval times. Gent was also very interesting. I also much enjoy the chocolate you have over there"

"The Belgian school system is totally different to the British one. We don't have big national exams like GCSE's, we just have exams every year and if you don't pass them, you've got to do your year again. (Don't worry, most people usually pass) That's what the Flemish system is like, the French one is a little different. I live in Brussels, which is a great city! Not too big, but really nice! Yes, Brugge and Gent are lovely, aren't they. A lot of tourists go to Brugge as it's really special. (But then of course, the whole of Belgium is really special"

"It's amazing how different the different exam systems are. What age do you start doing exams at ? Do you have to do coursework ? Hope that you've passed all your exams so far. What do you want to study at university ?

Do you get a lot of tourist's in Brussels ? What's it like as I've never been there.

Do you prefer living in Belgium to living in Scotland ?"
