Tout va bien!

cafe in the neighbourhood
It's been 6 weeks since we arrived. Time flies! Besides the weekly routines that we've built for ourselves, will this city ever become our friend? So, we keep exploring on foot, bikes and reading blogs of other expats.



in the park
Last weekend we visited Bois de la Cambre - huge park in the south of Brussels. On weekends the traffic in surrouding streets is closed but occupied by kids riding roller skates and bikes or adults playing roller hockey. Besides joggers, walkers, painters, couples with kids, photo-shooters and bikers, we photographed a squirrel :) and collected some chestnuts for decorations.




in the city
When looking closer, there are many interesting things about the city - everybody politely punches a ticket in a bus or tram, although we have never seen a controller, there are rather few bikers in the city (if compared to the Netherlands), perhaps because of well organized public transport.



The greatest discoveries we've made so far are:
the russian supermarket selling dark brown lithuanian bread from Rokiskis, 
and Cinematek where they play classic and non-format films, plus its cheap and walking distance from our home!









This week we miss our friends! All those who have promised to visit us in the capital of Europe, it's time to book your tickets! ;-)
 À bientôt!
