- Saying goodbye...
Hier zit ik nu op de vooravond van ons vertrek naar China. Zo veel gemengde gevoelens. Ik had nooit gedacht dat het afscheid me zo zwaar zou vallen. Het is echt een emotionele rollercoaster geweest de laatste week: afscheid nemen Posted by elke-sami in Asia here we come!! | Aug 31, 2009

I was happy to leave the odour of urine behind me in Brussels, and move on to Bruges. AND I only got slightly lost on my way to the hostel(progress!). Bruges was a wealthy trading town, then their Posted by GenBlogs in That's What She Said | Aug 22, 2009

Wow, I’ve been having an amazing time in Bruges! But I’ll start at the beginning…Last night was a pretty early one, I had a few “kriek’s” or cherry beers with Sergio, a guy I met from Austria who was also Posted by veggiepack in Europe 2009 | Aug 18, 2009

Visiitti Kiinan lähetystöön Brysselissä oli iisi kuin päiväkotireissu takapihalle. Hilj Posted by elke-sami in Asia here we come!! | Aug 18, 2009

Bruges is beautiful! I just had to say that first. Such a cute little town full of canals and ancient houses and buildings. I remember researching Bruges at home and being so excited about it, and now I know why. Posted by veggiepack in Europe 2009 | Aug 17, 2009

Today in Brussels was a complete 360 change from yesterday; in other words, I had a great day! Meera and I went exploring Brussels, which is quite easy by foor. We saw many cathedrals and church Posted by veggiepack in Europe 2009 | Aug 16, 2009

Als je op ontdekking gaat
Als er niets berekend staat
