Checked out of the hostel and put my stuff into storage at the station then went for a look at the cathedral. It is a big and spectacular building but it isnt decorated that impressively. Of course I had to climb to the top lol. Starting chatting with an English girl and Japanese girl while up there, the English girl was gorgeous :) Had a drink with them and will hopefully catch up with the English girl at the end of my trip. Train journey to Brugge was a bit... strange. First train to Aachen was 15 mins late (in Germany [View Full Entry]

Bonjour tout le monde, Je suis finalement arrivee, sans aucune embuche, a Bruxelles a l'heure prevue aujourd'hui. Je suis partie de l'aeroport de Quebec vers Detroit. L'avion n'etait pas tres gros ni tres rempli... J'ai eu une tres belle vue de St-Augustin au decollage! Le terminal dans lequel j'etais a Detroit est immense!! Il y avait meme un tram pour se rendre d'un bout a l'autre! J'ai fait un tour pour passer le temps. Le vol entre Detroit et Amsterdam a ete long surtout qu'on n'avait pas de petites tv dans nos bancs... J'etais assise a cote d'un enfant qui arretait [View Full Entry]

Well well well. Another week passed in Belgium. I really can't believe it. It is like I just got here yet I feel like it's been more than 2 weeks. Oh 2 weeks. I feel like there is so much more that I want to do here! Let's start off where I left off in the last blog. Last Wednesday (6/4) was the grand premire of the 'Sex and the City' movie. My host sister got me a ticket over a month ago for the extravaganza. It was also 'Ladies at the Movies' night. Only women were allowed in the theater [View Full Entry]

WooHoo! I made it through terminal 5 at Heathrow airport! All bags showed up just fine. As I had only 7 hours (later close to 10 due to the flight being delayed) in London before flying to Brussels for a work meeting I stowed my carrying on at the Left Luggage, and trudged home with two big bags filled with clothes, new shoes and a Swifter Sweeper. Had lunch with a co-worker then headed back to Heathrow Airport. I was quite impressed how much more comfortable I am in London after a bit of time away. Granted, this shouldn’t have been [View Full Entry]

I have now been in Brussels, Belgium for nine days and only recently did I get a chance to go out and really see the city. On Friday (May 30), Dadou took me to the Grand Place. This is like the iconic Brussels landmark. It is really overwhelming as well. From Tuesday through Saturday, there are flower merchants in the square and every two years they cover the whole square with flowers in a beautiful mosaic. It's too bad that the flower masterpiece is done in August and not in June or July when I could see it. We didn't stay [View Full Entry]

Figured a lot of brussels out The underground and maps and how this city works. Getting used to how I should handle city's in the EU. Getting power is proving to be a pain in the ass as well as the Free wi fi connections I was reading about. So when I finally get some power and people can read this on line sorry about the weight. The problem with that is that was the main plan with getting reservations and figuring things out. With that said I saw some amazing things today the Centre market was breath taking got some [View Full Entry]
