Bonjour from Brussels!
Well it is Wednesday Morning here in Brussels and so far so good though today is my first day where jetlag is not killing me haha I arrived on Sunday and was pretty exhausted but come Monday I was determined to head off for my one opportunity to see Brussels. It is such a lovely city and Brussels is full of so many contrasts because of the different languages spoken and you just never know what the language you will be responded to in. 80% of people speak French, then you have Dutch, German and Flemish. All signs are in French and Dutch no English to be seen so this has caused some adventure haha
Monday I tried to catch a train from Deigum to Brussels Central but luckily the person I asked "do you speak English" said yes so that led to this really nice man called Pascal helping me catch a train, chat to me for the journey and walk me to the tourist information centre before he headed to work. I have found people very friendly and more than willing to help if they speak English.
I will say that I have yet to work out the crazy roundabouts up by my hotel as each morning walking to work I nearly get taken out because they enter it the wrong way lol.
Off to dinner in Brussels tonight, watch out looking forward to seeing local night life outside of my hotel room.
Till next time.....
