Hi World, here we go with my contribution for the 11th edition of the world famous Tranny Guide!

As you know Belgium is a little country between France and Holland and with the Eurostar just 2 hours away from London! So you have no excuse not to visit it one day.

We have everything to make your holiday just great here, good shopping possibilities, nice restaurants, some good hotels and almost everyone speaks English, French or Dutch so that it is easy when going out in one of the many café’s, bars or clubs!

Personally I love to travel that is why I made an extra special report from some of the Gay Parades here in Europe (see in reports). I hope the word gay does not scare you too much, I know most of the T-girls don’t want to be compared with being a gay person, and that is true as many of the T-girls are straight people, but I must say most of my friends are for both sides and there is nothing wrong about that is there!

What I want to say is go and visit a parade if you can I’m sure you will love it! Enjoy the report. You are always free to contact me any time for more info at www.t-girlpamela.be or go to the biggest Belgian info page for t-girls www.travestie.start.be

Bye bye now, love to you all
