Yes,can't believe myself ,I've been to Belgium for a day trip.Oui -to Belgique,to Belgique!!!!!!!!!! to look at the chocolates,diamonds,lace ,palaces etc!Voila!!!!!! An amazing city ,full of history in every nook & corner.The architecture blew me completely.Everywhere we went such massive old buildings resplendent & reminding of us of the glorious past.
Of course I did have a good look ,I mean only good look at the Belgian diamonds & guess what there was this this Diamond shop owned by an Indian in the centre of Begium.Whooo!!!!!!!!!It was great to see the shop.I did have the Belgian waffle as well ,will be shocked at the size of the waffle with chocolate, strawberries & banana!. I wasn't hungry, was more tired walking but I insisted that I should have one.Great ,couldn't eat all of it though!
Oops, forgot about Belgian Chocolates,rows & rows of shops selling chocolates .The displays were so interesting.Have heaps of photos.Last but not the least the lace,so dainty & delicate,but trop cher!very expensive.Most of the souvenir shops were run by Pakistanis & Lebanese.
My Monday- you can imagine ... how could it be?Very tiring,can't stop yawning.But somehow getting through the day.Hopefully will have an early night .Have a couple more hours to go before I go home.Today I was in a Spanish class,should tell Leanne that I learnt quite a bit of it.I was in an English class too.That was interesting .The instruction is mostly for the whole class mainly from the text book.Was reminded of the Indian system.The english Dept here is quite big & the teachers are quite nice.Mealtimes are so very different.Will take pictures tomorrow.They serve a full 3 course meal ,unfortunately or fortunately may be,I can't have most of it.
I will be doing my presentation this week & next week too.Hope it goes well.
I think I will log off now & go for a walk as I don't have the last class today.
Missing everyone heaps!!!!!!!
