Hasselt Carnival Prince

The Hasselt carnival prince was chosen back in November 2007 so here are some photos I took that day.


The Hasselt carnival took place 1-2 March 2008. Visit Hasselt Tourism for next year's dates.

Here is an interesting and informative article about Carnival in Maastricht.

These seesaws hang on the side of an optician to "catch your eye" (sorry for the pun); the close-up says "God Ziet U" (God sees you).

Affordable Quality Business Cards in Belgium

I found it difficult to locate a supplier of affordable but professional business cards in Belgium, especially as I live in a small town. The local shop charges a minimum of 125€ yet I only wanted a small quantity at low cost.

I was therefore delighted to find Print 24 who offer a choice of designs, colours and font sizes with a great offer of 250 colour business cards for FREE with just 7.95 € postage and packing. They have lots of designs and colourways to choose from.

If you want to order some cards, just visit Print 24



They also print letterheads, comp slips, flyers, postcards etc.
