in belgium a lot depends on the parties you choose to go to, smaller parties still have the friendliest crowds
we are lucky indeed to have this much choice in parties of different styles in psytrance.
in my opinion most of the organisers here still give parties cause they like partying, the money makers are a minority, not the other way around. and even they shouldn't be judged that hard, they make parties possible with line ups you can't realise with low budget parties in low budget locations. if you don't like these large raves, don't go ... there are plenty of smaller parties too, you won't have to stay at home for more then one week in a row. on these smaller parties you'll find the "real freaks".
greetings from belgium !!!
