Living in belgium is full of new and unique experiences. Belgians have an institutional desire to avoid taxes. One of these new experiences is a result of this desire, Lunch Passes. Many companies in Belgium provide their employees with compensation for the money that they spend on lunch in the company canteen. Mine is no exception. Lunch Passes. For every day that you check in before a certain time and check out after a certain time, you receive a lunch pass. The lunch passes are each worth a fixed amount of money, typically more than you spend on lunch. Once a month, you receive a little envelope with the passes. You can redeem the passes at all grocery stores and many restaurants. They also do a similar thing for people who use green transportation. The problem with the green passes is that they are only usable for green products, so you tend to see them on offer all the time on the Expat websites. It's like monopoly money but you get real stuff for it. Odd, but it is Belgium. You learn not to question and just enjoy.
