| 6th September 2007 Brititi | - From: Canterbury 2 August 2007 So much more interesting and...historical than Canterbury NZ |
| 31st July 2007 HPp | Prague - From: Prague/Praha 13-16 July 2007 The dancing house is soooo cool!Do you know when it was built and who the architect was? |
| 29th July 2007 ann | wow - From: Rome/Roma 17-20 July 2007 seeing your pictures gives us such a real feel to where we are going in a few weeks..thanks for blogging. |
| 26th July 2007 Mr Men | Belgi�? - From: Exploring Belgium 6-8 July 2007 Hey I've been to similar cities, I'm sure of that. |
| 11th July 2007 Jean Genie | Re: Facial hair fashion - From: Utrecht and Amsterdam 29 June-1 July 2007 I'd like to think that I wouldn't be able to grow one even if I tried... |
| 9th July 2007 Annick | Facial hair fashion - From: Utrecht and Amsterdam 29 June-1 July 2007 I am so glad to see that you haven't decided to grow a beard - as it appears to be a growing trend. |
| 8th July 2007 Nick | Amsterdam - From: Utrecht and Amsterdam 29 June-1 July 2007 Never thought Amsterdam would be one of the places I would visit but it looks gorgeous. Will have to go there now. |
| 28th June 2007 Jean Genie | Berlin tour - From: Berlin, Berlin! 22-24 June 2007 Yes, definitely! He is a very gracious guide - and host, too! I think he should flag studies and start his own tour guide business, heh heh... |
| 28th June 2007 Annick | Berlin tour - From: Berlin, Berlin! 22-24 June 2007 it is confirmed, Mathias is an excelent tour guild of Belrin. I must contact him about showing me Berlin when I get there next month. |
| 27th June 2007 Jean Genie | Visiting Europe - From: Luxembourg 9-10 June 2007 Well, you know what they say... "the grass is always greener..." Although I would like to think that there are more exotic places in New Zealand than New Brighton, Annick! |
| 27th June 2007 Jean Genie | flags - From: Some Stats for Comparison The likeness is truly uncanny... in fact... could they actually be the same place? |
| 27th June 2007 Annick | Visiting Europe - From: Luxembourg 9-10 June 2007 It's really quite strange to see you and Kees visiting (happily) the places where I lived and found rather boring... I on the other hand go to New Brighton on the week end, walk on the beach and find myself living a very exotic life in Christchurch. |
| 26th June 2007 flag man | flags - From: Some Stats for Comparison Hey funny that NZ's and Belguim's flags are quite similar. I never knew that. |
| 24th June 2007 DestinationAlgeria | NZ Sign Language. - From: Some Stats for Comparison hmmm not so sure about that one. |
| 14th June 2007 Yngvild | Ha ha - From: Word of Wisdom #3 Ha ha love that picture... hehe!! got to love Europe and the very nice 16yrs boys :) |
| 9th June 2007 special k bar | special comment - From: Tallinn - Estonia, 29-31 May 2007. hey nice photos gestonia! Honey beer? do they do peanut butter beer too? I always like the combo. |
| 6th June 2007 metrolog | guess who... - From: Rīga - Latvia, 28 May-3 June 2007. hey ginarella! been reading your blog for an hour now, forgot totally about its existence until brittany mentioned it in our conversation today. loved the comments about "panorama". you sure your hosts are not trying to pass the time by getting you on such things??? :) still, it looks fab...enjoy the sun for all of us. |
| 2nd June 2007 Jean Genie | Re: Calvin - From: Strasbourg 21-24 May 2007. Calvinator! Nice to hear from you... had been beginning to think you had fallen off the side of the planet or something... hope South America is treating you well and hey, you know me, I never work too hard (I say, writing from Latvia at the end of a random week long holiday)! |
| 2nd June 2007 Jean Genie | Re: Brititi - From: Strasbourg 21-24 May 2007. Yes yes, it's a had life really, isn't it? Oh I can just imagine the rapturous journey from St. Albans to the concrete block of Canterbury University... actually, from my time here in Latvia I am beginning to think that perhaps our University buildings were built by a Soviet. |
| 30th May 2007 Calvin | Hey - From: Strasbourg 21-24 May 2007. Hey Ginesby Have been following your blog, is interesting to read your impressions of Europe. I have been in Quito for a few days now, its good to break the routine :) Don�t work to hard over there :) |
| 28th May 2007 Brititi | - From: Strasbourg 21-24 May 2007. So Genie, you have become the travelling intern! Flitting back and forth between France, Belgium and Latvia. Oh that is the life! I drove to Uni today, that was quite exciting!! |
| 28th May 2007 Rob_n_Lorenza | - From: Strasbourg 21-24 May 2007. great photos of Strasbourg! Cheers Lorenza |
| 27th May 2007 Annick | Life is tough in the European Parliament - From: Strasbourg 21-24 May 2007. OK, now it is time to pause and remember how sad you left when you lef for the European Parliement - with all the uncertainties ect... Indeed, I think your life seem to be tough there, don't you? |
| 26th May 2007 Judith | La belle ville de lumiere! - From: Paris 17-20 May 2007 Salut Gina! Loved your photos of Paris, which brought back many memories. I've always thought Sainte Chapelle was the most beautiful building I have ever seen. Glad you enjoyed Rue Mouffetard and all the touristy places too. Amuse-toi bien, et grosses bises. |
| 15th May 2007 Jean Genie | DestinationAlgeria - From: Life in Brussels 11-13 May Such checking is occurring as far as I'm aware. So far, no offers of a visit however. I might be able to smuggle some chocolate through the stringent Dutch border controls for us to feast on in Amsterdam. But it could be risky. Obviously I will demand payment in peas. |
| 15th May 2007 DestinationAlgeria | chocksters' jealousy - From: Life in Brussels 11-13 May hope that Chocksters isn't checking your blog or she'll be on the next plane over!! they look good though, when you come and meet me on Algeria, you'll have to sneak a few over the border |
| 13th May 2007 Jean Genie | - From: Life in Brussels 11-13 May I will bring you back some :-) As long as I can resist eating it during the journey back! |
| 13th May 2007 Brititi | - From: Life in Brussels 11-13 May Oh Genie, it sounds like you are having a fantastic time! I want some chocolate!! He he |
| 9th May 2007 Jean Genie | re: Annick - From: Fête de l'Iris Ah, the churros... Yes, well, I tried to turn a blind eye to the way they were made (it looks like they just pump the dough out into a huge vat of some sort of deep frying liquid) and just focused on my belief that I needed to sample this different Spanish food (excuses, excuses) No moules frites yet - I have yet to find a place to purchase them! I thought you could just get them from the frites stands but it seems this isn't the case... If you have any recommendations on this front I would be happy to hear them! |
| 9th May 2007 Annick | Curro is not KO - From: Fête de l'Iris I look at the churro and I am thinking it would take me 100 hours of Ko to bnurn it off - I'd better stay away from them. Still they had something similar in Scotland and I quite liked it. Have you tried the moules frites yet? That is th enational dish from Belgium? Take care with all that food. |
| 8th May 2007 Yoonah | hungry and sleepless - From: Fête de l'Iris I had my first churro at Seaworld... I thought the texture was a bit too chewy for my liking. But as for the cr�pes, they can be as chewy as they like!! |
| 8th May 2007 Jean Genie | re: Brititi - From: First Week of Work Hey buddy - thanks for being my first subscriber! Well I guess I'm pleased you approve of my MEP, haha! You sent that survey out yet then?! Not that I can talk - I'm at work right now writing this... oh, scandalous... |
| 8th May 2007 Jean Genie | re: internship - From: First Week of Work Behave yourself girls! You could get me into trouble if he decides to "google" himself! Haha... Well at the moment Mr. Zile is sick so I'm just sort of wafting around, going to hearings and Committee meetings and taking notes for him and Guna (his Assistant). It's really interesting to see how it all works (or doesn't!) As for cleaning - they have paid cleaners for that of course! But if we make coffees then obviously we have to clean our cups... It's a hard life... |
| 8th May 2007 Yoonah | internship - From: First Week of Work I'm so applying for it next year!! What stuff do they get you to do? I hope you don't have anything to do with the cleaning aspect of things- they'd be depressing :( And I'm gunna have to agree with Brittany re your MEP being hot! For an old guy, geez |
| 7th May 2007 Jean Genie | Frites and Mayo - From: Belgian Frites! Of COURSE I had mayonnaise! And a lot of it... Luckily I am walking everywhere all the time otherwise I would have felt rather guilty! |
| 7th May 2007 Jean Genie | "Le Wardrobe" - From: J'habite rue... Oh yeah, for sure! My wardrobe is way too empty - my clothes look lonely in it! It's just got really cold here so am definitely going to hunt for some lovely European winter bargains... which will also be useful for my return to NZ! Aren't you jealous?! |
| 7th May 2007 Yoonah | Le Dungeon - From: J'habite rue... Ooh la, what a lovely looking room! Especially the wardrobe... just waiting for some serious boutique shopping to be done :) |
| 7th May 2007 Annick | - From: Belgian Frites! Lucky you - Have you put some mayonnaise on the frites, in a truly Belgian tradition? I bought Jon a deep frier - and he wants to make frites every day....I'll tell home to go visit youin Brussels. |
| 7th May 2007 Annick | - From: Word of Wisdom #2 Apparently the same happens in france. My parents play the elderly grumpies and refuse to move, even take more space on the pavement just to inconveniance the cyclist... |
| 5th May 2007 swancadeau | Welcome to Europe - From: Word of Wisdom #1 Welcome to civilization! I love NZ and I understand why you'll find Europe strange at times, and a trifle more overcrowded than Otago. Still, if you complain about road crossings in Brussels, try to avoid any place south! If you need suggestions for brief trips, just let me know! Mark |
| 4th May 2007 Brititi | Yay, I am the first one to make a comment! - From: First Week of Work Hey Jean Jeansby, sounds like you are having fun! Your MEP looks hot! Ha ha ha. So proud of you for finding a place to live that's not a cardboard box! Your photos are great! I finally finished my survey! Going to send it out next week, Mathaithai will be proud of me!! |
