Pictures from the Rotary Weekend in Bruxelles and Huy

 My host mom said we had to leave by 7h01 (7:01) and this was the clock as we were walking out the door.
 The Royal Palace in Bruxelles!
 These are all inside the royal palace...
 I liked how these two statues seemed to be gender labeled, as if you couldn't tell...
 ... but really those were just the signs for the bathrooms...

 Those green walls/ceilings/chandeliers are covered in Thai scarab beetle wings. Thats how they are that blue-green shiny color.


 My first look at the Grande Place in Bruxelles, the capitol of Europe.




 Someone from belgique told us that was the prince of Belgium, but by the time I figured out what they were saying he was already going back inside. Shitty picture... But my host parents don't recognize him as the prince, so it might just be some random dude on a fancy balcony... ;)

 All the exchange students in district 1630, sitting with their sponsor countries. (we weren't supposed to take pictures in this room because it is really important, but I got a few before they told us that)
 If you look closely, you might see my friend Lindzee... She stands out a little... :)
 The same room where photos were interdit (forbidden).
 Same room again, very official and fancy-looking...

 This was the name of the person who's desk I was sitting in during the "forbidden photo shoot"
 Some exchange buddies!
 Classic look from Brian
 This is what happens when Lindzee steals your stuff...


 I didn't know they were taking a picture of me... I thought she was trying to tell me something, I was so confused... behind me is my future host sister from Brasil!

 This was the tour of Huy we took.

 Two Begian rotex and a confused exchange student. Florian is on the left, he's a pal of mine! 



 Some building/courtyard that I still never really figured out what it was supposed to be

 ^The architecture nerd in me took over at that point^
 Some friends of mine! Far left: Alex(Missouri), then Katrina(Toronto), Lindzee(New York) is 4th from the left, and to the right of her is Elizabeth, from Boston.
 Too many in this pic to title each person
