Thon Hotel Brussels Airport Diegem

... interviewing actors and what not, she gets free tickets, so we got to see "Attendant a Godot" (Waiting for Godot). It was excellent, even though I couldn't understand everything. My French definitely worked quite well, and the play is quite nonsensical, anyways.

That's about it for that day... Just lots and lots of sight seeing and activities, and I fell asleep right away at night, exhausted from a busy day.

... zullen sneuvelen. Het is teveel voor 3 weken. Maar ik kijk er toch al naar uit. Ik hoop stilletjes dat ik zal uitgenodigd worden op het Cambodjaanse trouwfeest. Die ervaring alleen al wil ik niet missen. Ik wil croissants eten in Luang Prabang (door de Franse kolonisatie is dat er onderdeel van de keuken geworden) en met een trage boot de Mekong rivier afvaren. Laat Azie maak komen

... I will look good in that car ! I immediately setup my GPS, program my destination and I am off. I get out of the airport and think maybe before the long drive I should eat. So I pull over, grab my GPS and look for a restaurant. I see a Pizza Hut in the index. Hmmm, Belgium Pizza, I have to try that ! My GPS gets me to the Pizza Hut very quickly. I go in order the buffet and a salad. Their pizza is very different. Mostly vegetables, and ones I have never heard of, so I am game ...

... control - after all, we are going to another country and one that is not an EU member... Bryan has left his passport at the house. But not to fear!! A little begging gets us rebooked on the next train and one hour to get to the house and back for the passport. Outside, a taxi is actually present and we convince him to drive us to the house, wait downstairs with Amy while Bryan sprints ...

... fascinating. Watching Benj's documentaries and living with Benj & Daan for few days, I've gained much here culturally. Belgium could've easily been about Manneken Pis and Waffles like most tourists, but for me, Belgium is a special place with exceptional people. I hope I gave them different views of the American people and I think that's what traveling is all about. But the worst part of traveling is it's easy to meet people but hard to say good bye.

... 1. One of the most popular Belgian snacks is moules-frites, or mussels and fries. It's served all over town. By the way, I live about a 10 minute stroll away from Maison Antoine, which is considered to be the best friture (fries joint) in all of Belgium. 2. There's a bar near Grand Place called the Delirium Café that has TWO THOUSAND BEERS from 60 different countries available at any given time. 3. The average Belgian consumes about 22 kg/48 ...

... projects. I personally enjoyed seeing the many examples of the Art Nouveau movement present in the city. Tonight we have planned a beer sampling in honor of our hostel's manager's birthday. We have all become pretty good friends & we wanted to show our appreciation. We have acquired ten select Belgian beers, which are VERY rare - even here in Belgium. It should be a good time. I'll let you all know how it went tomorrow...

... foot against everything until she finally took a business card and used a corner to remove it all. Shop keepers were concerned, Belgians gave her questionable looks, and Amy and I debated who just shat their pants. "What goes around comes around" rang loudly in my head... followed by "always wear a turtle neck." They Lived Happily Ever After... And Five Pounds Heavier Historical Brussels is a beautiful city with architecture unlike anything I have ...

This morning we woke up to pouring rain and bitterly cold weather. Charlotte cooked us a very hearty breakfast before we headed into the markets in Ieper. The rest of the day was spent looking at the numberous war memorials around the area such as Tyne Cot, which is the burial place of 30,000 Allied troops. It was a spectacular cemetary......a huge contrast to the German memorials ...

... of Tangier, that I’ve often seen from the train window, which just so happens to be the biggest red-light area south of Amsterdam, not coincidentally in the Dutch northern area of town. *****s line the showroom windows just as if there were canals, smoking cigarettes and scratching their butts. The Muslim area sells the same Muslim accessories you’ ...
