Belgian perspective about their neighbours:
Belgians say that UK people think they are somewhat special and they dont want to include themselfs with other "europeans"

I think thats somewhat true. French are mainly chauvenistic, Dutch are cheeseheads (kaaskoppen! haha sorry a dom belgisch grap), Germans are still called as "mof/moffen" by Belgians wich is a nickname invented during WWII

Let's just add here that there are a lot of jokes about dumb Belgians, they even began to tell the same ones about Dutchmen...
No, I like Belgians, I dislike French for their language, I've nothing against Germans, I just hope they'll leave us out again in the next world war...
What the European dream is? I don't think we have one. Europeans really like to be divided. Some think everyone should be patriotic, others are in love with America, some people are open to other cultures, some people blame all their problems on foreigners, using their worst Dutch to explain that the foreigners don't speak the language, very convincing

. Most of us like money, but most of us also tell eachother that happyness counts, and you can't buy it. I don't think most people even have a real dream, they just live their life, and they don't expect it to be more than that. Of course any European is free to say he sees it totally different, and we're back at the divided statement.
