Not sure what to do
today to address 9/11. It came up once
at lunch today, but I didn’t really understand, and nobody was upset over it,
one way or another. So, as a good
American, I’ll look somber if it comes up, but otherwise not be worried.
In other news,
my favorite food here is Kwatta: sortof knockoff Nutella without the healthy
nut aspect. Chocolate icing for everyday
life! I eat it every time I walk through
the kitchen. Just spread it over a bit
of toast! Fantastic.

| Flémalle, right outside of Liège (facing Liege. Brux is the other direction) it got to be 30 degrees C that day. |
Brussels was
great! It was really hot all day and we
never actually found the Comic Book Museum, but we went to a cathedral! And we walked around the centre a little bit,
in and out of the train station over and over again, and 2 of our group still
managed to miss their train. But it was
quite a fun day.

| some sight-seeing in Bruxelles |

| les Galleries Royales de St Hubert had lots of fancy chocolateries and even 2 haberdasheries! |

Quite a fun
weekend, indeed.
School on Friday
was tough, but I had 2 English classes, which are fun. Not because I understand everything, but
because it’s a nice teacher and all that.
I don’t understand most of my classes, but at least I did make some real
friends that I now eat lunch with and we exchanged facebooks and skypes!
Friday night I
went to Liege to see “Beginners,” v.o.
The movie was fine, but whilst in Liege, someone from school recognized
me and called out my name! I have NO
idea who it was! But it was cool to
recognized by a Belge.
This post's batch of Guillemins pictures:
After-wards I
spent the night with an oldie friend of mine who lives nearer to a train
station (in Flemalle) than I in order so that the next morning would be easier to catch the
train for Bruxelles. Next night, I
stayed with him again because my host parents didn’t have access to a car to
get me until this morning. Fortunately
his host parents are very nice and like him, and me, pretty well. Good weekend!
Oh I also bought a
flatbill cap this weekend in Brussels, which is very American, but I’ve been
wanting one for a very long time now, and I told myself before I got to Belgium
that if I saw something I liked, I would go ahead and buy it because if I
don’t, then I won’t ever buy anything, leaving me with no souvenirs, memories,
or empty wallets.
Raining today.
