"The countryside" is a place that all Belgians dream of taming by beating it into submission using bulldozers and earth-moving equipment in order dump upon it piles of bricks and concrete that form unusual architectural constructions of their own personal and novel design. As a result of this passionate pursuit there is not a great deal of "the countryside" left, at least not in the northern flat bit.
