Look up forgetfull in the English dictionary and there might be a picture of me, if there isn then somone should write to them and say that my picture needs to be added; granted you can find it with that spelling. I have now lost or forgotten, at various places, one of my lighters, swiss army knife, one of my chapsticks, passport, bottle of advil, and now to add to the list all of the posters that Ive bought along the way. DAMN! that last one really chapped my hide. The lost and found doesn open until Monday, so the soonest [View Full Entry]

Sweden has the presidency until January. It rotates every 6 months. Spain has it next. See - I learned something!
They warned us that the long study tour would be exhausting, and they weren't kidding. All the academic visits that we did are like a blur, so I'll just highlight the parts of the trip that I like best/remember best. Day 1 is nothing but driving. Really. I wake up at the crack of dawn and a bus full of my classmates departs Copenhagen at 0845. We drive south, cross to Germany on a ferry, turn west, stop in the Netherlands for dinner, and arrive in Brussels at 2300. Our hotel is called Maison du Dragon ("dragon house") and it is [View Full Entry]

As we found out our last night in Brussels, 5 Duvels seemed like a good idea at the time, particularly when two were free, not so much when you have 3 hours sleep and then have to catch two planes..... Anyway, we arrived in Brussels after two days in Antwerp at Brussels Central, a train station only a short way from our hotel. The only problem was finding a road sign to identify exactly where we were. As the rain grew heavier and heavier, we gave up at headed to the taxi queue. After giving the drivers the address of the [View Full Entry]

After our brief two night stay in Antwerp we caught the train back to Brussels. A sure sign we were nearing the city of Brussels we passed the red neon glow of the red light district. The girls barely covered in their seductive lace outfits, in a little room, the windows facing the street of onlookers. Some girls just seemed to pace their window while others sat in the corner. Some even interacting and teasing potential clientele through the glass. I found the whole experience not to dissimilar to that of a puppy attempting to impress a shopper through a pet [View Full Entry]

Hi Everyone, I know these blog entries seem to come few and far between. We are finally feeling settled here and it has been a very busy summer. For those of you have been asking for an update here goes…. We are really enjoying Brussels and living in Europe. This expat lifestyle is a never ending learning experience, most of them great, a few not so great but we will focus on the good stuff and the fun: A couple of weeks ago was the 25th anniversary of Marc joining his company, so the site leader and his wife took Marc [View Full Entry]

It was his birthday and he gets to dress up!
Joined Heather and family for a foray into Belgium. Had been to Brussels once before in my teens (travelling down to Strasbourg on a school trip) and remember the Grand Place and the Mannekin Pis well. Visited a lot more this time, including Bruges, Ghent, Antwerp and Mechelin. The Flemish (Dutch Belgian) and Walloon (French Belgian) split is quite distinct. There was a lot going on in Brussels this particular week, including a no car day on the Sunday when we arrived (quite weird, bit like Day of the Triffids at first, until the cyclists came out). The next weekend was [View Full Entry]

Dias 30 a 32 - Ir a Bruxelas é como viajar no tempo. Não para o passado, devido aos seus prédios históricos, mas para o futuro. O futuro de uma Europa que não dá a devida importância ao seu maior problema: a imigração. Se Londres é a cidade com maior quantidade de imigrantes e a Antuérpia com a maior diversidade de países, Bruxelas deve ter a maior proporção de imigrantes. Apesar de estar em na região de Flanders, oitenta por cento dos habitantes falam francês, o que facilita a vinda de imigrantes das antigas colônias francesas, como Argélia, Marrocos e Senegal.

……and chocolate….and mussels? Of course you did and we are happy to report that they are each quite kind to the palate. Our travels in Belgium took us to Brugge, Gent and Brussels; we had hoped to see Antwerp but that will be saved for a future trip as we ran out of time. What we learned while in Belgium is that they have focused their talents and have become world class producers of beer and fine chocolates. They are the BEST!!!! Seriously, there can be no debate here. The beers and chocolates that we tas [View Full Entry]

Discriptions Europe » Belgium » Brussels-Capital Region » Brussels
I realized today that the majority of the discriptions I was writing were in my little book, and not to those who were reading this blog. I am super tired from today so I will return tomorrow to describe for you all that I can. Although to most of you these writings will come at the same time I assure you they are from different days. Until my day off, bon soir -Kati [View Full Entry]

Walking again Europe » Belgium » Brussels-Capital Region » Brussels
Ok so some of you might remember how I said that I was going to walk less today? Well I think I ended up walking more. Oh well. Shitty thing, and I should have realized this sooner, but I loaded the film in the camera wrong and as I was walking through the hugest park taking all of these pictures, nope none of them counted because there wasn't film. So I stopped got the coffee I should have before I left for the Park. Cooled my heels, then went back to retake some photos that really needed it. Then jsut headed [View Full Entry]
