For those of who have experienced international travel, I am sure that that you are well-aware of jetlag…NOT PRETTY! In fact, I would have to say that this is probably the least enjoyable part of this trip thus far, since my body is out of sync and I am now sitting here at 6am trying to figure out what to do: Should I eat, sleep or lie awake in bed?! This being said is how my first entry begins; I needed something to do in the wee hours of the night when the rest of the world sleeps and I sit here in an indecisive state. Who knows, perhaps my jetlag will bring out some positive writing in the long run. In the meantime, however, I will try to get on a normal schedule that will allow me to go out and explore all that little Belgium <http://www.visitbelgium.com/liege.htm> has to offer – I need interesting content to keep this blog going.
There’s 2 simple rules in fighting jetlag:
1. Don’t drink (too much) alcohol during the flight;
2. Adapt to the new time zone asap.
I know some people that stumble out of the plane reeking of wine and going to sleep at the first occasion. Those kinda people usually work on their blogs during the night
Hey Sandra!!! I just called and left you a Happy Birthday message, only to check Myspace and realize that you were all gone and left the country.
I have to say, from my experience on the Japan trip (and by the way, did I show you my Japan travel diary??… I think I did, but I’m not sure, I kept one in blog-type form the way you are doing), I didn’t really suffer from jet lag going out to Japan, but boy did it hit me coming back home.
While you were in Belgium, did you have any waffles? (… yes, that really is the best thing I could think to say about your being in Belgium…)
