Novotel Diegem

... wind dies down, honestly! We have six hours to wait in Heathrow, where we will buy stuff that's either cheaper or more familiar than stuff in Brussels, we will eat something (farewell weight watchers, knew my trousers wouldn't be baggy for long..), probably take the mickey out of English travellers in their football shirts and sit in the lounge and write on the blog.<br><br>Very excited about going to Thailand!!

We arrived in Brussels and got ourselves to our hotel and dumped our bags so we could start our day in the city and see the 5th biggest Cathedral in the world! Haha. And whatever else Brussels had to offer us, not to mention the food, chips, chocolate, waffles and beer!! We had a great day walking about and being amazed with how much Belgium loved us. Haha. Then after our day was done, we headed back to the hotel, had a well deserved ...

... today his biology teacher helped them cut up dead frogs. They smelled bad, but he enjoyed seeing their little body parts, like their lungs and heart. &#8220;I like biology,&#8221; Marvin said. &#8220;I want to be a biologist, an animal doctor, and an inventor when I grow up. I&#8217;m going to invent a pill so that animals all learn to live together without eating each other all the time.&#8221 ...

... time I looked at the clock it was 3.57am. Sunday: Wanted to sleep in but was unsuccessful, woke at 10ish and couldn't sleep more so skyped mum and dad. Really have done nothing at all today except for speak to a few people and upload pictures onto facebook. Right now Sonia is sleeping, Pol is finding pictures for his WEP application and I have no idea about the others. Bit tired so will be in bed early tonight!!! Love you all, xoxoliza

... 16th Century politics forced Catholics to worship on the down low. I guess it makes repenting rather easy and convenient now with the churches next door. Our guide also pointed out the bar that many American gay celebrities attend (Monday nights it is "shoes only"), where Janet Jackson bought her "wardrobe malfunction" leather outfit for the SuperBowl, and how the prostitutes are segregated, typically by race, but also by age as the "almost retired ...

... We reached the side of the Cathedral right as the fog stopped, we turned the corner to the vents and to our merriment found the couple repetitiously bowing and chanting in Flemish to the vent on the side of the church to produce more mysterious fog. It was right here at this church when Tiffany realized she lost her passport and hundreds of dollars in cash. We retraced all of our steps asked everyone to and from the bar if they seen the wallet and I took the duty of peering ...

... football.I told them how i ended up there and they too couldn't believe it.They also agreed that the DB (deutche bahn) is a ****** company and sympathized with me.They even gave me almost 20&euro; for having something to eat!! If you guys are reading this,contact me so i can thank you! Well,that was basically it. Sounded like a lame horror/comedy/action novel? Except it is 100% TRUE. I have all the travel documents to prove this,plus live ...

... place. I managed to still find the people myself at least! A lot of great guests came (Frank, Claudia, Onur, Achim, Martin, Gregoire... there were people from every continent: Brasilian, Slovenian, Turkish, Japanese, Korean, American, Dutch... it was wonderful!) After having been in several bars in town, Steven and me walked back to Achim and slept. --------- March 11 I woke up really early and had to contact Nei to get a lift back to the UK with him. At first it was quite ...

... me with an endless stream of quality rock music and enhancing the adventure considerably. Dunno where i'd be without it, quite frankly. Probably the same bus....just bored shiteless. We arrived wearily at Dublin airport well before Dawn had even begun to show her crack, and i conducted the usual routine of checking in and all that jive amongst a bevy of fellow early morning travellers, most of whom looked equally rooted as i did. The flight was seamless, and ...

In about one months' time I will start on a short trip through Eastern Europe. Almost an exact copy of a trip I did last year, only much shorter and I will only travel through 4 countries instead of the 6 states I saw during my Baltics' trip. The idea for this trip came from a friend and colleague of mine, Ingrid. We are both members of BeWelcome (www.bewelcome.org), a great website that allows people to find (free ...
