So after a tedious and stressful process to get my visa (it came the day of my flight), I finally landed in Brussels, Belgium which will be my home for the next three months. Our first night we all stayed in a hotel in downtown Brussels and acquainted ourselves with a true local delicacy, Belgian beer. Never again will I drink Natural Light. I am too spoiled here.
The next day, we met our host families. My host mother and father are great. We live a bit outside the center of the city in a region called Wezembeek. We also have a swimming pool in the backyard and a Golden Retriever named Frosties (after the European version of Frosted Flakes). I'm also living with two other AU students.
Today we toured around Brussels with our host parents. We saw huge, ornate buildings and churches. Sadly, I forgot my camera so no pictures so far. We also paid a visit to "Autoworld" a gigantic car museum which was actually really interesting.
Tomorrow, school starts so we will see how that goes. Hopefully I can get away with minimal studying this semester
