Week Five of School

Things are going well. I am settled at school, still making friends, enjoying classes, and whatnot.
There's nothing really new to tell you all, so I will make a brief list of all the new food I have tried here in Belgium as of my arrival.

• pumpkin soup
• double-fried french fries with:
• samuraï sauce - not Japanese, just spicy
• Andalouse sauce - its orange and good
• Americain sauce - not American at all
• mayonnaise 
• *note: they don't really eat fries and ketchup
• pain au lait
• Italian pastries
• pain au chocolat
• rabbit:
• in a sauce with polenta
• baked in the oven
• fresh apricots
• French yellow prunes
• chicons (we don't have these)

• pineapple yogurt
• pâtes au sucre (pasta with sugar)
• Bruno's classic Italian Bolognese (with olives)
• olive and eggplant sandwich spread
• countless Belgian cheeses
• countless French and Dutch cheeses
• lots of goat cheeses
• almond pie
• pain perdu (kind of like French toast, and no maple syrup)
• Greek vegetables

• and many other things I will have to think about and list another time

And also, here is a link to a video about Belgium if you are interested about the catastraphe of a government, but,
