I hate it when there's a lot of traffic

Sometimes you can walk faster because the cars can't move because of a traffic jam or something

I hate it when the busses go on strike and leave you waiting for half an hour at the bus stop!

Nele · 10-14-2006, 04:01 AM

Oh yeah

I don't know if you heard about the train crash a few weeks ago in Brugge? I had to take the train then but well the trains couldn't ride on the tracks anymore so I had to take the bus. It took about an hour before there were buses and then they didn't even took me to where I had to go so my mom had to pick up at about 15 kilometers from my house

Brugge is Bruges right? I loved this town - we had a student exchange with a Belgian high school once and we went there for a day.

Oh yes sorry It's Bruges

I go to school there

The city is ok for me I haven't really visited anything there (hides in shame).
Did you go to any other places?

~DresdenDoll~ · 10-16-2006, 10:39 AM

We've been to Bruxelles, Anvers and some other places that I actually don't really remember

It's been 8 years already...

Nele · 10-16-2006, 11:02 AM

So mostly the cultural cities

I wish I could visit some foreign countries with exchange programs but I don't see that happen soon

~DresdenDoll~ · 10-17-2006, 01:36 PM

Aww that's too bad... I was in awesome high school, there were student exchanges every year. I've only been to the Belgian one but it was fun anyway.

*Lethe's Bramble* · 10-17-2006, 04:05 PM

Hey Do if you ever come to Belgium again, let me know and maybe we can meet up!

I actually might be planning on going to Paris in a few weeks

I've been wanting to do that for a while now. I've only been there once for a Linkin Park concert and then we barely got to do some sight seeing.

Nele · 10-17-2006, 11:44 PM

Oh Paris is cool

we went there with school last year

Do I'm not in high school anymore that's why it's hard to get on an exchange program

But next year we have to work 6 months as an intern in a company so I might apply for a position abroad but those are really hard to get

~DresdenDoll~ · 10-18-2006, 02:28 PM

Nath will do

Same thing if you ever plan on visiting Bretagne!

I'm not a big fan of Paris to be honest. I only go there if I really have to, like for concerts or seeing some friends... but it's definitely not my city... I'm actually gonna be there for sure in January - I'm going with my cousin to see Archive's concert

Nele it was the same with my university - we had Erasmus exchanges but they were always proposing countries I wasn't interested in. The only awesome looking exchange program they had was with Quebec but they didn't want Freshmen and year after I just didn't have the money... I'm still bitter about it
