Hey world... I'm really sorry it has been like a week or two since the last post... I have been super busy! It seems like it has been a month or more since I have added anything, and even then it was a pitiful effort... And I wish I could write every detail into this entry, but truth be told, I can't remember every little thing... At least not well enough to write about it for anyone's benefit but my own. But let me just say that it has been an awesome first two and a half weeks at school! I also have about a hundred or so photos of the last two trips to Bruxelles! The first time I went with my exchange pals and had a blast! The second time I went all on my own, picked up my friend Sarah from the national airport, and showed her around the coolest city in the world. I actually know the city pretty well now, I would say. I can find my way around the central district without even consulting a map! :) I have also been to several parties and dances/ hang-outs since the last update. There are some pictures on Facebook, but they're not mine. I didn't really take many pictures of those. But anyways, Belgium is getting better and better each day. I can't even describe how I feel about this country and all it has to offer! <3 Anyways, I guess first I will add the photos from the Bruxelles trip with the exchange students, then the second post I will add the photos I have of my and Sarah's trip (again, there are more photos on FB)
My first ever train trip!
Diego and Ambar! Love them!
Yes, that is in Dutch. No, I can not read it. Yes, I know what it means.
This sign was pretty hilariously insane? Also, notice how it it only in English, when everything else in the country is in at least 3 different languages... What does that tell you?
The exchangies! Sebastian in the middle! He is a friend of Diego's from Ecuador!
The inter-city police... You can see how tense I was. ;)
A replica Mannekin Piis that pees beer... Only in Belgium...
This was the plaque outside only the coolest place in the world, Delirium Cafe! It set the Guinness World record for largest variety of available beers... over 2000 different types...
Jeaneke Piis. The twin sister of Mannekin Piis? I don't really understand this one, though my host parents told me it is entirely touristic... lame.
Inside Delirium Cafe. So cool. Such a cool ambiance!
Hey mom, does that look familiar?
The bottom floor of Delirium...
Katrina's mango flavored beer.
All of us again! In the middle this time is Miguel! He is from Belgium, and Lives in Bruxelles. He went on exchange two years ago in Ecuador, so he was friends with Diego and Sebastian.
My St. Bernardus beer. Very Tasty!
Again, only the coolest bar in the world. No big deal.
See if you can find it...
My lunch... It is called a Mitraillette- which translates into "machine gun". It is a baguette with two half slices of beef patty, fries, and covered in a sauce of your choice. Very healthy! ;)
The Cathedral again! This time I got some pictures of the inside!
I hope you enjoyed seeing the photos from the first Bruxelles trip! I will put the others from the second trip up soon! Sorry there isn't much detail to this last entry, but I really don't have much time. Also, after two weeks, a lot of the stuff is forgotten. Once again, sorry! But I hope everyone is enjoying keeping up with me! I miss you all!
P.S. Erin and Linda: I will send your postcards, but I have to buy them the next time I am in Bruxelles! But don't worry, I haven't forgotten! Love you!
Delirium is the bar I told you about in Valdosta - fun place. Have a few Das Boots over there for me.
