Vive la Belgique!

July 21st, 2012 at 3:03 pm.

It’s Independence day in Belgium today.

And with Belgium I don’t mean the township in Wisconsin or the town in West Virginia (which come to think of it is rather weird – have you ever heard of a town having the same name as a country?). I mean the European country in between France and the Netherlands. My home country.

I guess this would be the time to wax poetically about the social security system, the wonderful people and the kinda insane political system. I guess all of these are part of life here but for me I just love living here.  I love how I drive for a little over an hour and I’m in France. I can fly to nearly anywhere in the world from Brussels airport. I can visit my Swedish ‘family’ in less than three hours traveling.

I’m really excited about moving to Cardiff and the UK and I know that career-wise it’s a good move. At the end of the day though, this country will always be my home.

    It sounds like West Virginia has the best location ever! :)
