i have found my people
I am moving to Belgium. Seriously, I think I have found my people and I'm not budging. Well, I'm going to Bruges tomorrow, but maybe they'll still be my people. The top reasons why Bruxelles is awesome:
- You can walk the length of the city center in 15 min. At a comfortable 3.5 MPH, not even 4.0.
- People are SO friendly! And they are real Belgians - I have talked to tons and practiced my non-exixstant French and they are born and bred here and love it.
- Today I have had the opportunity to use my Spanish, Chinese, Russian, and Armenian language skills. Yes, Jessamine, I sang the Armenian song and counted to ten. FYI, the audience was greatly impressed.
- I haved scored the following free items (TODAY - there was more but I don't want you all to hate me): coffee, half a dozen truffles, and a bottle of champagne.
- I have eaten non-stop for the past 72 hours. Well, I have slept; but during my waking hours, I have been chewing. If I don't come back to the states, it might not be that I moved here but that I fell into a diabetic coma. Please check if you do not receive word shortly.
So yes, the Bruxelles is good. Even the French-speaking hasnùt been too bad. I get a new word from, everyone I meet, so it will add up to a complete sentance eventually. And if you smile big enough, all you really need to know is bonjour, bonsoir, and merci. The only downside has been memory card issues - my uploading was cut short the other day and today I lost dozens of pictures, including two meals. How sad.
