Facts and Flag - UK - France- Belgium - Netherlands- Germany

Hello !
As You may know, we are leaving soon..
But not without a little Fun with Flags : Before we leave, you'll find every day a small article saying fun fact about a country we'll pass ...
Be prepared !

UK :  London has been called Londonium, Ludenwic, and Ludenburg in the past.
 

France : France is the largest country in the EU, and known as 'the hexagon

 

Belgium : Cricket is thought to be a Belgian invention, not British – academics believe immigrants from north Belgium could have imported the game to Britain, based on a poem thought to have been written in 1533 that calls Flemish weavers ‘king of crekettes’ and also mentions ‘wickettes’, predating English references dating to the 1600s. 

 

Netherlands : More than a quarter of the Netherlands is below sea level

 

Germany : The longest word published in the German language is Donaudampfschifffahrtselektrizitätenhauptbetriebswerkbauunterbeamtengesellschaft (79 letters). Try saying that five times fast.
