We left for Belgium early on the 18th (Happy
Birthday Mom!) to visit a primary school in Genk, Belgium. The highlight of the
school, and perhaps the trip, is what they call a schnoozle room. It is a room
in the school that teachers can take kids if they’re having a bad day, just to
rest. But the best part is that it had a heated waterbed. Lord knows how much I
would have misbehaved if I had that at Greenwood. The school also had a Chuckie
Cheese-esque ball pit and play place. My dream school.
It
was then off to Brussels on the coach bus, which I slept on yet again. I woke
up when we arrived at the hostel and my stay there was, well, interesting. I am
sitting in the airport now, showerless for two days because I didn’t have a
towel, not to mention how repulsive the showers were. The beds were okay, but
the security was horrible. My friend Dana had his phone and computer stolen
while he was asleep and of course they weren’t found. It was just an
uncomfortable situation that I wish was not the last stop of the trip. The city
was very nice and the food was great but the lodging made the trip end on a
sour note.
But
speaking of the food, I had mussels which was my goal in the city. And yes,
they were amazing. I also had waffles, bought chocolate and ate frites, so I
covered all the necessary bases.
I
didn’t get to see the Mannequin Pis which was the only thing I knew about the
city coming in. It certainly wasn’t my favorite city but I would not be opposed
to coming back.
