Paranoia

Several days ago I was eating this (extra) sweet thing called "Macaron" for the first time in my life..

Meanwhile I logged in Facebook... and saw that they were offering me to buy more...

It's official: now Facebook knows what you're eating..
Got the creeps?
 

Studying hard..

...or at least doing my best.. But there's always something beyond my control that interferes with my good intentions..

'morning!

Just don't!

The dead Friday silence in my building reminded me that I never shared this fact in the blog: Belgian students go home (in another city) every weekend...

As soon as they cope with their Thursday-night hangover (known as Friday-night hangover in other countries), students from different parts of Belgium head to the train station with a fast pace and a bag of dirty clothes.

The melody, created by all the wheeled suitcases pulled on the paved streets, turns into a signal that the weekend has started.

Dear Belgians,.. for once,... be rebels and don't leave!

Hollywood in Brussels

The resemblance with the view over the hill with the Hollywood sign in LA is stunning..
* Look closely and you'll find the letters

Dedicated to all students.. ever..

Shower-lover's heaven

You are walking around Brussels, minding your own tourist business.. but suddenly you feel the unbearable need to take a shower. It's fine, they have thought about you!..

Sightseeing has never been a cleaner experience!

Don't worry

To those who got worried and wrote me - I am alive! I did not post anything in the last few days, because I took some needed time off. The Armistice day and my no-lecture-Monday made it possible. YAY!

So, after enjoying Brussels on spring-weather-Saturday and in the 5°C on Sunday, I can only say that it's always nice to explore your surroundings.

That evil creation..

Private sunshine

I'm looking for my own private sunshine today.. since I can't see any other..

Being a student..

.. can be a pain in the ass..

Somewhere around

No, that's not confusing at all.. It's one of these 4 numbers... for sure!

Amazing story..

So touching and inspiring that I had to share it..

Warning!

My (morning) message to the world

Integration

Everyone is welcome to Pangaea..

Feel like helping today?

There's this guy, Dominik, who wrote me a message a few days ago. He asked me if I would share a link to his blog..
Who is Dominik?.. He's an exchange student, just like me, but in Thailand. One would think: cool, exotic, enviable place to be... Well, it turns out that reality there is not colored in pink now. So, instead of engaging in the expected Erasmus-student life, Dominik chose to help people. If you would also like to help, visit his blog (Thailand flood fundraising ) and see how.

Are you happy?

Here's what you can do about it..

Cool stuff

When I was told that all 15 people living in my building will share one fridge, I thought that might be a problem.. Fortunately, nobody seems to be interested. The only Belgians to use the fridge are the girl with the jar of pickles and several alcohol owners..

Monsters..
