Hello everyone and sorry this took so long for me to write but i was waiting for my friends to send me some pictures since my camera got stolen and with it my pics from london. But before i get started i just want to say that ITS SNOWING here is belgium which is pretty incredable because they hardly ever get snow here. London was an amazing trip, we started out early saturday morning, meeting up at Charleroi Gare to get on our bus. Once we were on it took about 3 hours to get to the ocean. Then we took [View Full Entry]

Hello everyone, This weekend was a pretty busy one for me. Friday I went to the theatre with my host club and the 4 other exchange students of my club. It was about a show with one African who tells the stories of his life growing up in Africa and also about moving to Belgium and how he found it. It was in French so i couldnt really understand a lot of it and i was also really tired so that didnt help very much. I got home at midnight and i had to wait till my host father Pascal and [View Full Entry]

Bonjour tout le monde, Je sais, j'ai pas écrit depuis longtemps! Le dernier mois à Vellereille a été complètement fou! J'ai vécu deux périodes à Vellereille, c'est-à-dire que j'ai eu deux groupes de jeunes différents et que j'ai refait toutes les activités spéciales deux fois! Les ordis étaient horriblement lents ce qui explique que je n'ai pas donné beaucoup de nouvelles. J'ai passé un mois super à l'abbaye de Vellereille. L'équipe de travail et les enfants étaient géniaux. Les 3 premières semaines, il a fait froid et il a plu à tous les jours: c'était pas chouette. La dernière semaine [View Full Entry]

Bonjour tout le monde, J'ai pas donné de nouvelles depuis longtemps, car je suis pas mal occupée au travail. La ville de Gand était très belle. Maintenant, je suis à Vellereille, à l'abbaye de Bonne-Espérance. La première période du camp est finie. Les jeunes sont partis hier et les nouveaux arrivent demain. J'ai beaucoup aimé la première période. J'avais une classe de niveau 2B (12 élèves semi-débutants): mes élèves étaient chouettes! L'équipe aussi était super, mais presque tout le monde est parti (peu de gens font 2 périodes, car c'est trop fatiguant). Vous pouvez aller voir les phot [View Full Entry]
