I have now been in Belgium for a
little over two months and I have fallen even more in love with Belgium this
past month. My French has improved so much, I am now able to understand most
conversations and can speak basic sentences and conversations. School is
becoming easier and my teachers are really great and always make sure I
understand the lesson and are more than willing to help if I need it.
In the past month I have been able
to explore more of Belgium and also the Netherlands. I went kayaking in the
south of Belgium with all of the other Rotary Exchange Students that are in
Belgium which was really fun. In this small country there are over 400 exchange
students. Even though kayaking was cold I still had a lot of fun hanging out
with all the other exchange students and sharing the different experiences
we’ve all had this past month or so. In Belgium I have visited Coo, Namur,
Mons, Tournai, and Brussels this past month. Brussels continues to be my
favorite city in Belgium, there’s so much to do and see but Namur has become my
second favorite city even though I have only been there once. Namur is a
beautiful city with really cool architecture and lots of castles. The city
looks very European I think and has a nice river that runs through it. I was
also able to visit Amsterdam, Amersfoort, and Nijkerk in the Netherlands. All
of these cities were absolutely beautiful but I really loved Amsterdam. The
city was beautiful and I really loved all the canals throughout the city. Next
weekend I will be travelling to London, and Paris which I am really looking
forward to. It has been another great month in Belgium and I am looking forward
to more great adventures! A bientot!
