So far, there has not gone a day that I have not had to laugh at some oddity or seemingly peculiar thing that I saw or heard. Don’t get me wrong, it’s not all bad. On the contrary, there are some beautiful places I hope to visit while here. But before I can enjoy the wonderful opportunity of this place, I first must get registered, figure out how to buy groceries, re-learn how to drive, learn to speak French, (unless I am north of Brussels then I can’t speak French and must speak Dutch), buy several items from Ikea, eat more fish and seafood than I have in my entire life and when possible try to make my wife and family feel like this place can be home! Then maybe I will be able to venture out and see this unique place of historical significance.
