The next stop on our study tour was Brussels. We stayed in a random hotel that was like China Town but across from several strip clubs. Lomain was also delicious at breakfast- loved it!
It was pretty interesting attempting to check my e-mail at an internet café because a lot of the important letters were in the wrong place! That night we went to a bar with our professor and teaching assistant (yes, things are a bit different here) called Delerium known best for having 2,000 types of beer!
The next morning our stupid tour leader decided it was necessary to change the schedule and print out 30 copies of a new one to hand out-completely useless since we don’t follow the schedule anyway! After a long wild night it was an interesting morning to have a “Comic Strip Tour of Brussels.” Apparently Brussels is known for having cool comic book art on the side of buildings..woooo hoooo. However, this was definitely the funniest part of the trip. Because of my tour leader- the creepy one. Our class split into two groups, one mostly with girls and Kasper says, “I think I will go with the girls this time”…another student correctly opened her mouth, “Kasper, you always go with the girls!” (SO TRUE). I cannot even begin to describe the rest of the tour with Kasper. Even our comic strip tour guide caught onto the fact something fishy was going on. I liked him a lot except for the one remark he made about a building they had, saying it was their twin tower equivalent, and that they still have theirs…not funny.
We took an overnight bus back from Brussels to Copenhagen (14 hours). The bus was actually pretty empty. Even though I did not sleep, it was pretty comfortable- except for waking up at 4 am to get off the bus for a 45-minute ferry ride. There were also pre-packaged hot dogs in one of the rest stops.
I got back to my Kollegium at about 8 in the morning. Instead of going to bed, I unpacked and went for a really good run!
If you want to see pictures from Amsterdam, London and Brussels…
