Something's going on, it's an early update!

No, nothing really has happened. So false alarm. Anyhow, I thought this might be a good time to talk about my hostfamily and my life here so rambling it is!

For those who don't know (=almost everybody) I have to take two trams to school. Yesterday, I waited for the tram but when it didn't arrive after about 10 minutes I gave up and started walking. I have now officially proved that it takes about half an hour to get to where I change my tram for the one that takes me to the stop near my school.

Next weekend, my mom and younger brother (he's not little since he's over 20 cm taller than me) will be in Brussels. I can't wait! The funny thing is that they arrive on my 8th month anniversary of my stay here in Belgium. I've really missed them so I'm getting really excited about this.

In my last post I rambled something in French, here's the same story in English. My new hostmom is preparing for a 100km 3-day thing so she's going on mini-hikes every Sunday. Last Sunday I went with her and my feet were really killing me afterwards. It was just 15 km but my shoes were not good (tip: don't go on 15km hikes with basket shoes).

Ramble-post is over, à tantôt :)

This seems to be a habit

Hello there!
Yes, I know that it has been a long time since I've written and la-di-da-di-da.

I am now living with my third, and last, hostfamily. I've been living with them for just over two weeks now and I can already tell that I've had really good luck when it comes to families. All of my families have been très bienveillant et vachement chouettes! I miss my hostsisters, Euge (8) and Rosa (10) a lot but now I've finally got a brother! For those who don't know, I've grown up with two brothers running around the house so I've kind of missed that. But yes, my new little brother (who's a head taller than me!) is really talkative and the opposite of my first younger hostsister who was the same age in every way. Don't get me wrong, she was really nice, but Franky is really awesome :D

I'm happy to end my stay in Belgium in Brussels. I am now really living my dream and I love every minute of it! Brussels is an amazing city and I'm never really bored here. For example, yesterday I didn't have anything planned so I did some google-fu and found out that there is a route of walls with BD frescoes. Photos below from my 2-hour walk

So what has been going on during my break? I've been travelling once again around Europe. For our "vacances de ski" I was in France with my second hostfamily. My knees...! I snowboard and the pistes are MUCH bigger and difficult here in the continental part than in Finland.

These last two weeks it has been the Easter leave. Two weeks of just enjoying life and getting to now my new hostfamily. Par example, ma mére d'accuiel aime bien marcher. Aujourd'hui, j'ai marché 15 kilo metres avec elle et ses amies. C'était très agreable, et il a fait chaud :D Mais mes pieds ne l'aimait pas...

I've also been looking more into what Belgium is. We went to Liége, Grand Hornu, Namur (once again for me) and Notre Dame de la Rose.

If anyone needs my new address send me an e-mail ;)
