The name of two provinces in Belgium and Holland, situated next to each other and being in quite good terms with each other.
Both Limburgs are often seen as a retarded part of the country, or a province in which only poor farmers live.
The Belgian Limburg is often called "het verre Limburg", or "the far Limburg" (as if it's situated 457 million miles away from the rest of Belgium, now look who's retarded!).
It's the best part of the country because
the people are friendly,
hospitable, ...
Belgian Limburg is also called 'fietsparadijs' (or bicycle paradise) because of the miles and miles of tarmac cycling-tracks (many are former railroads and situated
in the woods) and it attracts many tourists who come here to ride the bycicle.
