My flights, my family, the cows (!!), and this keyboard
So the flight from Vancouver to Montreal was fine; simply it was fine. I sat beside a very guy-typey guy, and i know for while i watched ´<<>> he watched <> Which was totally fine, but that means that he asked no questions about my blazer and so i didnt get to feel totally rotarian.
Getting off the plane and into the Monteal airport was really easy since i didnt have to pick up any suitcases and my gate was really close (which meant no security check). I then waited 20 minutes for a Tim Hortons sandwich; it was like an overdose of canadian-ness as my final goodbye. It was the only place to get a decent sandwich, there was a multitude of people from all over the globe, and you could order in either french or english. Once i got my sandwich i watched two italian men argue through a window as i ate; i couldnt hear anything but i could guess from all their hand gestures what they were saying, it was fun!!
The plane ride to Brussels was long, thats all. I sqt next to a guy who listened to a lot of Elton John and techno music and watched Shrek, he didnt ask about my blazer either :(
So once i arrived in Brussels at quarter to 9 in the morning, i stood in the security line for a half hour, but all they did once i got to the front was look at my passport and that was it. Waiting for my lauggage at the carroussel was interesting; i saw an amish/jewish family!! It really made it sink in that i was in a different country.
So, once i finally got out,waiting for me was Malika, Pierre, Helouise a brazilian lady who is visiting, Louis their son, and from my second family Monique and Justine. They had made a banner for me which was really touching!!
I hope to get some pictures of my house up soon, but simply put it reminds me of a mexican house on the inside ( for example its all tile floors, theres no carpet and you dont remove your shoes once inside)
THERES COWS EVERYWHERE. I CAN SEE THEM FROM MY BEDROOM WINDOW, ITS BRILLIANT!!! Not to mention the bbb´s are huge, but theres also a lot of dairy cows.
And my final thought is that this keyboard is a pain!!! the q and a are switched, the m is where the semi-colon is and theres no apostrophe, typing this took me an hour!
One last thing, Malika told me yesterday that i arrived on a historic day; i arrived on the most rainy day theyve had since the last 14 years.
And i just found the apostrophe it's up with the number 4...
