Brussels!

Arrived in Brussels.

It's beautiful, everything is decorated for Christmas and people prefer speaking English than French. Every other store is a bar or a chocolate shop. The streets are wide, clean, and manageable. Not overcrowed to the point where I take an elbow or a briefcase to the stomach every 3 seconds like I do in Paris. To top this off, there's an actual breakfast menu at McDonalds. That's right. Hot hashbrowns. Not just croissants, not just muffins. Actual breakfast. Pancakes. Egg McMuffins. Everything. I love it, though it does make me miss Ray's quite a bit.

Why didn't I study abroad here? Can I switch now? Or at least spend every weekend here?

I've been equipped with a map, but it seems almost unnecessary since there's no way to get lost here -- everything leads to the center.

Right now I'm staring a beautiful building called, "Bourse" and about to head into some reading and relaxation. I really don't want to spend a lot of time on my computer here, so this may be my last update for a couple days.
