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

- 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,
VIEWER DISCRETION IS ADVISED, contains rude humor, and a spot of foul language
if i could like the video, i would.
ReplyDeleteJ'aime la vidéo.
ReplyDeleteEffectivement, j'ai trouvé la vidéo d'être assez drôle. J'ai aussi beaucoup apprécié la liste des aliments. Comment étaient les cuisses de grenouilles? Faut-il les essayer ici à votre retour?
ReplyDeleteHaha, I agree with the two above... the video was awesome! Nice to see you doing well in such a complex and dysfunctional country, Noah :P
