Sept 23, in a carpooling ride with Celine, from Paris I got to Brussels. I went to stay with a couple I knew from Dunedin, Chris is a kiwi and Sarah is from Brussels. They were both very busy studying, but found time to share dinner and chats. It was good to see them, and I stayed two nights. During the day I went wandering, exploring the city. I enjoyed an exhibition ‘mind scapes’ at E-Space.

Brussels has a very multi-cultural flavor and life to it, it seems that many have migrated to the city. With approximately 62% foreign-born residents, the city ranks second only to Dubai, which has 83% foreign-born residents.

Sept 25, With a carpooling ride from Brussels, I got to Amsterdam with Castor. This was a very social drive.
