Don't have much time to write, but wanted to check in.
Having a great time in Brussels meeting a lot of great people from around the world and going to lots of interesting bars. Right now I'm hanging out 3 Australian guys who work in design, two Canadians, and a girl from Jersey. We're going out tonight and then the plan is to make breakfast together in the morning (there's a kitchen in the hostel).
Interesting things about Brussels:
The numbers here are different than in Paris. Instead of "soixante-dix" they say "septante." It's kind of annoying because I swear I couldn't understand how much my dress cost the other day until I looked at the little screen. (The dress is a cute grey little thing that I got at HandM. I got a belt, too. And a necklace. Hey -- it was you guys who told me to shop a little!).
The appropriate response to "Merci" is "s'il vous plaît" and not "je vous en pris" like it is in Paris. This really throws me off guard everytime I say "thank you" and someone says something that I thought meant, "please."
