If I grew up on a farm, and was retarded, Bruges might impress me but I didn't, so it doesn't.

just kiddin !
bruges is beautiful :)
kinda quiet and lonely but thats its charm i guess
everything is super small and cute
its like a freaking toy town !
like for real the doors are tiny hahah
anyways bit of a backstory now
it was wednesday again so i met up with ana lucia in gent and we headed off to bruges
niether of us had been yet which was cool!
totally fucking cold
and we discussed how depressing belgian weather is
its really a downer, sucks bro
we realised it had been exactly 2 months since our first wednesday adventure to another belgian town
which was cute ^^
its also meant we had both passed out 3 month mark of being in belgium
kinda glad the end is coming
but at the same time i am actually going to miss this place <3
while we were in bruges we checked out the cute little suveniour shops hahaha
and went to the chocolate mueseum
chilling with ana lucias ancestors the mayans
and obama, just causss.
oh and this adorbable park which i forgot the same of
with pretty white swans
they looked so magical in the dark ! :)
and the trees were super creepy looking it was pre cool
and thats about it really...
weekends creeping up quickly
thankgod as it means im off to amsterdam for a few days!
i well needed break i think! im still kind of sick
and im tired so i think a change in scenery will be fun :)
thats all for now

having to much fun to post more often heheh

um so yeah these photos are from like a couple of wednesdays ago

when i went on my weekly trip to another city in Belgium

this particular time it was to Brussels to visit Eleonora

who is another exchange student friend of mine ^_^

despite other peoples opinions i love brussels <3

it reminds me of melbourne a little bit

its the closest thing they have to an australian city here anyways

went to the nicest cafe

not because it was cozy or european like all the others i go to

but it was super nice service and very friendly

and free wifi (y) haha

and cute atmosphere on a wide boulevard in bruxelllessss :)

what i had was an apple and cinnamon muffin

and raspberry latte 

which was amazing ! 

the lady was like you might not like it so you can chose something else because most people think its gross

but it was so good, strange but good hahahah

then back to eleonoras for dinner with her lovely family <3

shes lives in linkabeek which is a totally cute town on the outskirts of brussels

it has cute little woods and little winding streets

i liked it very much :)

so i have many many posts to catch up on
so there might be a spamming session of belgium right now hahah
k so first:

the oldest thing i havent uploaded
these photos are from like over a month ago
so yeah back in early september i went with my host mum and brother to the MAS
which is a cool mueseum in antwerp
we went there on bike and i didnt fall off, proud yo ^_^
the architecture of the building is very interesting
on each level the walls are glass so you have a view of the city
but the glass is curved so the view is kinda squewed
you cant really tell in the photos but in real life its really cool :)

taste a bit of what I will find, sweet sixteen

like my weekly wednesday ritual i spent the day last wednesday with an exchange kid
visiting there town and shiz :)
i went to tienen with nooraa <3
finnish bestie >_<
had a really great day just exploring and talking
little picnic in the town square :)
very cute quaint little town
and walked to noora's house which is surrounded by lush fields and trees, so pretty
ily corn fields

I got tequila, Ciroc and two freaky friends and this a Wednesday night, this aint the weekend

the awkward moment when two posts in a row are lyrics from a wiz khalifa song... lol
today is a wednesday, the best day in the european school week
half day yo! :) so good
as it is my one month anniversary for my arrival in belgium it sorta freaked me out a bit about how quickly time is flying by and how much more i still want to see and do!
only 3 and a half months left... :/
so from this wednesday onwards i have vowed to myself i am going to spend it in a different city of belgium each week
which is also so i can see all my exchange friends who are in various parts of the country ^_^
and theres not enough weeks to see them all if i try and do it on weekends because im too busy!
life is goood
today i spent the afternoon / evening in Gent with my favourite mexican girly Ana Lucia <3
love that city, love that girl !
we spend the day walking around gent (with directions from ana's host sister ^_^) exploring cute little cake stores, gift shops and exhibitions,
here are some photos from the days events :)

catching the train from antwerp central station to gent sint pieters. one of the best thing about this country is how easy and cheap it is to travel within it. it only takes like an hour to get to gent from antwerp and with ma go pass its like 10 euro return, fyeah!

doing the tourist thing and buying gent noses, hahah. its these purple triangle jelly things that are like a special candy iconic of Gent. super sweet but pretty nice :)

quaint little cake shop which i cant remember the name of hahah opps. the picture is taken from the second floor where you sit and eat by like an indoors balcony thing. very very cute !

Speculoos cake, ymmmmmmm ;) speculoos is like a gingerbread biscuit thing that is incrediably popular here in belgium. they even have like speuloos pasts o___o i will tell you about that when i try it though..

anyways this cake was like amazing even though i felt quite ill by the end of it, so much sweeets here is belgium ! gonna get diabetes and die soon :/ haha

only in belgium...

cute times.
