I got to thinking that going to Belgium, obviously is a foreign country and all, what I'd like to know is - do they use Belgian laid out keyboards? I'd hate to spend 12-18 months practicing and boning up my keyboard skills to find that I'll get to the lab and make typographical errors all day because I've got the wrong keyboard layout in front of me. If need be, I'll order a Belgian keyboard and use that to practice on.

As the Belgians use AZERTY, that's a whole new ball game. The way I look at it is, I'm spending £1000 just on the lab exam, there is no way I'm going to spend that kind of cash, only to be sat in front of an unfamiliar keyboard. Here's a quote I like from the inside of "The Prodigy - Fat of the Land" album booklet. "Preparedness makes us strong, lard makes us fat" - I don't know why but I find that quite amusing. However, there is a lot of truth in the first part of the sentence. Preparedness makes us stong, and hopefully passing CCIE Lab candidates too
