01	Learn French or Dutch, especially if you are coming long-term. If you have children this is even more important and will assist them to integrate.
02	Learn the Belgian rules of the road as they are a little different to other places and can be complicated.
03	Join expat groups by all means but remember that Belgians do exist too, and many expats make the mistake of never getting to know them properly.
04	Make the most of summer. Winters are wet, cold and gloomy and involve largely indoor activities.
05	Bring as many personal documents as possible (birth, driving, examination certificates), they will help in many different bureaucratic situations.
