Half Done in Brussels!

It's very hard to beleive that my time in Brussels is already half over! Although I'm starting to feel very at home here, I still feel, in some ways, like i just got here! Im glad I still have 2 weeks to travel after my course is done, but I will definitely be sad to leave.

I'm not sure why it took us so long to come to this decision, but we finally decided last night to follow the advice we received a LONG time ago to buy a cheap pot and make out own meals. Anne-Marie and I went halfers on 2 pots (for 2.50€ each!), some pasta and LOTS of vegetables and we're both SO glad that we did! We have had real meals twice now and they were delicious (I was getting pretty sick of sandwiches). The best part - I got at LEAST a weeks worth of food for only 22€! Oh the small joys in life :) I will never take vegetables for granted again!

Today is a pretty relaxing day. I had 2 classes this morning, and this afternoon there was a tour of Modern Architecture in Bruxelles - something that didn't interest me much. I opted to take a long shower, straighten my hair (a huge source of joy for me at the moment, haha) and to try and upload a few more pics to Facebook. I'm beginning to get VERY frustrated by the slowness of the computers - it takes a good half hour to upload 5 pics!

I'm off now to save my 600 pics that Ive already taken on a disk (dont't wanna risk losing them) and to buy some train tickets for Germeny (Thursday) and Paris (Friday-Sunday)! Tongiht we're going to walk around and try to see some more of Brussels. We just relized that there's SO much we want to do and not much time. Still on my to-do list: Le Basillic du Sacré-Coeur, The Chocolate Museum, The Museum of Belgian Brewers, the Royal Museum of Central Africa and eat a bowl of mussels.
