For my work I spend a couple of weeks in Scotland. I stayed in Greenock, a small town 30 mins west of Glasgow. The first time I would go for 2 weeks. I won't tell much about my work, that went ok, but in the weekend, me and 2 colleagues first went to Stirling castle and to the bridge where William Wallace won the battle against the British army. This was a very nice place and after that we went to Rosslyn Chapel. Some scenes of the movie "The Da Vinci Code", with Tom Hanks as Robert Langdon, were shot here. Although, that's what they say, but I couldn't find anything that looked familiar. So maybe I have to watch the movie again to see refresh my memory. But nevertheless this chapel was very nice to see with all its statues and pillars.;)

Six weeks Belgium.For my work I had to go to Belgium for about 6 weeks. I already liked Leuven in the winter, but now in the summer it was even better! The first weekend however I went to Ghent, to meet a friend again, which I’ve met in New Zealand! It was pretty nice seeing him again and getting a trip around in Ghent from a local person! The first evening was a bit strange though, because we were invited to a birthday of someone we both didn’t know :D. This party was in a bar and the people there were pretty nice!
The second day we went to the city center itself to walk around. There I saw “Manneke Pis” of Ghent, where it had some clothes on
. I also walked around in the castle, which was a very nice castle! The last day I was there we went to play tennis and after that we went biking for 50km! That was kinda hard after not playing any sports in the last 7 months! I already knew that my physical fitness didn’t improve very much the last year, but I was a bit shocked that it was that bad! But this was a very nice weekend!/IMG_1395.JPG',800,600,false);)

Once back in Montreal, I didn’t do much. Later that day I went with Magali to the park to see if you “friends” were there and we had some fries with squeezing cheese (typical food from Quebec). This was pretty nice, but not for every day! Read More...

I can’t write much about the trip on the bus to New York, the only thing I can say was that the trip was long and boring. Then you think that when I came to New York, the good times could start, but to be honest I was pretty tired and went to bed early. Read More...

Vacation in Canada and New York city.This vacation was a bit a last minute one, but I’m glad that I went. It was nice to meet Magali again!
When I arrived at the airport Magali was already waiting for me and we took the bus to her apartment. That evening I was pretty tired, but still we went to the International Jazz Festival (the biggest of the world). The strange thing about this festival was that I didn’t hear much jazz. Read More...
