A Conversation for Belgium

your reference is to the theme park WALIBI in Waver/Wavres. A wallabi is, if memory serves, the australian name for a kangaroo (or it might be a sub-species).
Walibi no longer exists. The theme park that is now in the same location, is called "Six Flags".
Another fine Belgian tradition : you can walk around in our cities and as an english speaker know perfectly what each store sells, because a great deal of them sport English names. Don't try to speak Walloon in Antwerp but by all means open a "tea room", perfectly alright.
