My Year of the Life of Leisure

I left my job, left my apartment, sold most everything in that apartment and embarked on a year of travelling and leisure. I am working on writing a couple of books. This might be one of them... But then, my chief pursuit is leisure, so who knows exactly what will happen.

If it's Monday, it must be Belgium

I thought the national language was French but it also includes Dutch, and maybe another language.

I'm already trying to think in French. The passport control guy was asking me questions in English and I was replying in my French -- without really realizing it. He was very sweet and didn't point out what I was doing and let me realize it on my own...

Some street signs are in Dutch, others French, and still some others in English. I can't help but be a bit confused.

It's strange to be in a Western city, but it's kinda cool. Except for the price differentials...
