Oui c'est moi!!!!!! Sunday afternoon rolled around and my stint at my first host family was done and on to the one where I would be staying for the rest of my time here in Belgium. I was picked up by M. Laurent and his five-year old son, Lois who promptly informed me that he didn't speak English and that therefore I should speak en francais. I arrived at Rue de l'Orient, to what used to be the Peruvian embassy and that is where I find myself now typing this blog. My host family is comprised of the aforementioned host dad (Jean) his partner Milena (who is Italian in origin) and there two boys Lois and Cyril.
Everyone is really nice and the best and worst part of the house is that the metro is a 15 minute walk away... so I feel very justified in eating Belgian chocolate!!!!!! Although I managed to get myself lost this morning on the way to school and on the way back, the people here are very friendly and helped me find my way AND I'm near the European Parliament, Council of Ministers, and European Commission.
I hope that once all the orientation ends and classes begin I'll have a chance to get into a more regular schedule but for now.... c'est ma vie en Belgique!
