BELGIUM
Ok, so I am just about recovering from another awesome trip – back at work and trying to make up time, make up hours since I am away again for my New York stint again very shortly!
Belgium was fantastic.

I met with my dear friends who did a speedy airport pick up and immediately we were on the go – met a lot of awesome people and hung out – saw a lot of the city – drank Belgian beer – the fruity one was good. The others were very bitter – so am I now a beer drinker?? NO!! Hell NO!!
I got into that European lifestyle which I love, straight away. Relaxed and no fuss. Why does it seem that Europeans' work life seems so non-chalant compared to mine??? I got the business of my visa renewal out of the way and then it was all party and tourism. Saw so much – I am just in love with European architecture.

I can walk in and out of every church and government building – that would take a year! I ate a lot of waffles and really awesome salmon. Funny thing – I lost weight after my binge – the food is really different there! Or maybe it’s all the walking. Who knows?

I went to Brussels, Antwerp, Bruges, Ath, Spa and Amsterdam.

The first weekend was spent in Ath – this is a small farm town just an hour out of Brussels. We met a TON of people, the evening concerts and day time festivals were a sight to see and gave me a taste of true Belgian culture.

Ofcourse the Spa-Francorchamps race on the world renowned track was amazing!!
The first day – it rained.. I sat on the bleaches with my survival kit and umbrella - freezing and wet watching practice! It was awesome. That is the mark of a true fan!
The rest of the weekend and in particular – race-day – the weather was cold, but dry and ofcourse we ended the 3 hour drive (both ways) between Spa and Brussels with a bang – Ferrari being the Victors.

We managed to walk a lot and see a lot. Especially the cultural shock of Amsterdam.. I must be honest – one is NEVER prepared for what your innocence will see in Amsterdam!!

We had a great time with great friends - whom I already miss dearly... :(

But I had a phenomenal time and now.. I leave for the BIG APPLE :) Whooo hoooo
