First of all, I’d like to apologize for those of you who have actually been trying to follow my blog. I know that it has been close to a week since my last entry but life on this side of the world has been busy and to some degree very slow in terms of technology [...]

La Vie Quotidienne in Liege

Well, if I have not written in two days there must be a good reason, eh? Well, in case I have not mentioned it before, the first part of this year’s European vacation to Liege is more of a family trip. I am here visiting Raphael’s family, which pretty much means I go wherever I get taken [...]
Brussels: Home to “Pee Boy”
Posted in Uncategorized on December 20, 2007 | 2 Comments »
Today’s Belgian excursion was to Brussels, also known as the central hub to the EU offices, home to the to world famous “Pee Boy,” and also responsible for today’s frozen Belgian butts. Okay…so that little last part was an exaggeration. But seriously speaking, today’s daytime weather reached a record low and made it quite uncomfortable to walk around (I discovered [...]

For those keeping up to date with my travels, I am sorry for the two-day lag in my next posting.

Europeans’ concept of time is not unfamiliar to me. Having lived in Paris for six months during my college years, I know that in comparison to American standards, days seem to be a bit longer on this side of the world. As a college student, I always assumed that this slower pace was more related [...]
Day One in Liege, Belgium (Jetlag)
Posted in Uncategorized on December 17, 2007 | 2 Comments »
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 [...]
Hello world!

As my first official blog, I am not sure where to begin. The typical thoughts of “What should I write?” or “Is there a theme I should follow?” and “What makes an interesting blog?” have already started to distract my writer’s flow. So, in an effort to keep myself focused, this blog’s kiock-off should perhaps begin with my first trip [...]
