... viral infection or enteritis that was acting very atypically (ie. no vomitting or diahorrea, just heaps of pain), and they kept me in the hospital to recover and to keep an eye on me. They only let me out this afternoon (Friday). Other than the complete hell of having to convince the insurance compâny that what I had was not pre-existing when I left Australia, and that they needed to give a guarantee to pay before I left the hospital, because I would not otherwise be able to find ...

During our stay in Spa we had the most scary, horrible, unpleasant experience ever in a restaurant.<br><br>The restaurant to avoid is "Le Bouchon Gourmand", the owner does not hesitate to insult customers, lock them into the restaurant if there is a dispute on the bill, and claim more money than is due. <br><br>See more on www.bouchon-gourmand.blogspot.com

I. Am. Tired.<br><br>But, I got all of my goals accomplished today, so I am also very happy!!<br><br>After my successful lesson at school I took the bus back to Aachen. I got off a couple stops short of home to stop by the electric company. It was surprisingly easy. I brought in the paper the guy gave me this morning when he looked at my apartment. The paper has the number of my electrical meter on it. I told the lady that I wanted to turn it ...

Hi all,<br><br>Had a pretty lazy Sunday. I know that tomorrow is going to be very busy so I just wanted to relax today. Had apple strudel ala mode for lunch, haha. Then we had a turkish dish for dinner. It was chicken wings and sliced potatoes on a pan lightly smothered in tomato sauce with lots of spices and garlic. It was pretty good! I just dont like the skin or fat on chicken, and I dont like ...

After popping into and out of Germany, we were now back in Belgium. It was beginning to get a bit dark, and we still had at least 200 miles left to drive.<br><br>Gaz's motor was struggling, and threatening to overheat, so we stopped to let it cool down.<br><br>With the vehicles all decorated with stickers, we attracted a bit of attention, and a Belgian couple took our ...

Once in Elsloo, we stopped to find postcards (having completely missed the observations again), only to find that the only card shop was closed that afternoon.<br><br>Up the road a bit, and Kieran was dropping a card into the door of a Landy enthusiast they had met on the recce. The guy turned up at that moment, and so we were invited in for a refreshing cold drink. The Landyprikkers overtook us at that point, and went on their way. We then ...

Liege's newly constructed train station rises from the city's drab industrial neighborhood like an errant flyer saucer, crash landed in mid-galactic flight into the economic heart of francophone Belgium. The network of temporary fences that partition the site from the rest of the city seem to confirm the station's extraterrestrial origins, but the imposing sign immediately to the right of the main staircase describes the far more prosaic story of transport hub. This ...

... we got dragged along!) to see an Italian play about HIV/AIDS, which sounds great and enlightening, but it was so surreal I had no idea what was going on! (and trust me, it was not a language barrier problem!) Another night we did the tradtional exchange activity - bowling. And one night I met the family - her grandparents, her brother's girlfriend, the works! There's something a little bizarre about a guy puckering to give you a kiss in front of his girlfirend ...

... Where are they i thought. I looked at the big sign with a big map and it said Leige city map. Hmmm i thought. I called the Belgians and said where am i. My phone cut out so i checked my lonely planet map of belgium. I had a bad feeling leige wasnt bruge. I was correct when i found liege on the right side of beligium. After i got a packed bus back to the main station i ...

... small cursory road sign confirmed we had crossed into Belgium. It was an absolute pleasure to ride along the flat bike lanes attached to each and every road, a far cry from the stress and angst of riding alongside vehicle traffic in Australia, and we kept going for a good 25km or so to the town of Genk. <br><br>Genk itself was a fairly non-descript place, but when in a local supermarket we were each able to ...
