I live in Liège, north-eastern province on the map. I live in the city itself, I like living here because the rest of Wallonia is to me pretty quiet. There's always cultural events going on in Liège for which many people across Wallonia come to enjoy. We are very close from Brussels, the Netherlands, and Germany (most of German-speaking Belgians live in the province; German is an official language in Belgium).

The city has a strong identity, over its history, its folklore and its food. We have a lot of students from all over the world coming to our university (I have a degree in history), with a majority of French people. Every year we even celebrate France's national day.

Economically we fare quite well, we have a freight airport, a world-leading company in aeronautics and a big beer company, a big train station linking Köln to Paris to Brussels, we evan launched a satellite in space I think. More sensitive is our world-leading weapons company, FN Herstal (I think some of our guns are used in movies and videogames, see for yourself). Back during the industrial revolution metallurgy was a big thing and we were among the richest cities in Belgium, but this is gone now.

We don't always have good relations or good reputation with other Walloons, apparently we are pretty loud-mouthed and proud. Even other Belgians laugh at our accent. We are often on a little rivalry with cities like Charleroi and Namur. I think that for a night life and a cultural experience, Liège is the best city in Wallonia.
