Rain, Rain Go Away





Remember that rhyme? I wonder if people in Belgium ever say it. Maybe that would help!!

I bought a super duper raincoat from this great store "Hema" which I compare to H&M (basically because it has an "H' and an "M" in it's name) but it has even cheaper things!! There is a pic of me in this super duper raincoat below, walking home in 5 inch heels at 5:15 am.

Have you ever walked on cobblestone in 5 inch heels? In the rain? At 5:15 am? No? You should try it, it makes for great fun.

I can't even remember the last few days. All I can vaguley remember is glasses filled with amber liquid, wetness, more amber liquid and my pillow.

I actually woke up at 4:30 pm yesterday. I suck.

Good thing I'm a picture whore, otherwise I would have NO idea what I did the night before.

The Canadians and Joanna-Gallagher-Look-Alike played a game of 'never have I ever". Which went on until 4 am. And then we decided to go to the Oude Markt! (A square where all the bars are. Like the Byward Market. Only BARS DON'T CLOSE)

We first went to this reallllly sketchy place in a basement. You had to walk down slippery, stone steps. It was basically a dungeon. Then we upgraded and went to a bar where they literally played....


Tina Turner.


I felt like I was stuck in 1978. And I wasn't even born then. Me, Christina and Joanna-Gallagher-Look-Alike were literally the only girls in there. But in Europe they don't dance like North Americans. Aka they don't grind disgutingly and grope random people. They like gino beats, and the guys dance accordingly. Except here it is authentic gino beats, so it is acceptable.


On Friday the entire town empties out, since all the Belgians go home. So it was pretty quiet. There ended up being like a table, which was added on to a table, added on to another table, until there was a snake of tables in the markt just full of international students. I have some great quotes from a Portugese guy. Let me just say that I am sure that this does not represent ALL Portugese people. But since this was the only Portugese person I have ever met...


"We are born Macho in Portugal"

"We don't have Gay people in Portugal"

"We are born with chest hair in Portugal"

" I can always tell a Spanish girl from a Portugese Girl. A Spanish girl has nice hips. Sometimes a Portugese girl does to. But not like Spanish girls"


K my brain is filled with beer and waffles. I will write another post later when I can focus. I am going to TRY not to drink tonight. Instead I will watch 'Euro Trip'. Because I am on a euro trip. Get it? hahah
