Finally made it to Brussels! After a long first day here and not much sleep, I have had some time to explore my new city that I get to call home for the next five months. I cannot believe it when I say that I get to live in Belgium! It is no doubt a beautiful city, but it is definitely quirky. Many things in Belgium just don't make a lot of sense--there are gorgeous old buildings right next to odd futuristic-type structures, or graffitied walls for example. They did get a few things right though: beer, fries (with samurai sauce, aka spicy mayo), and chocolate of course. A street waffle is next on my list, I promise! Unfortunately it has been quite rainy the past few days, so I've mostly resorted to iPhone photos, but I hope to have nicer weather so I can go shoot with my larger camera. It's been a great time meeting more people in my program, so I added a picture from our night out last night below. Classes start next week, so here's to enjoying the rest of the weekend.
Cheers!
Kate
