So...for all the people who have been complaining about me not updating this for ages, here's a post!
I am currently in Manchester for a couple of days, it's nice to be back!
Life in Belgium is still going very well though, not too much longer to go now. I have started teaching in another school as well which is good cos it gives me more to do and is a bit of variety. The students are so much better at English there! Makes things a lot easer, less repeating and explaining of things. I taught a lesson about english food last week and realised how confsing it is1 There yorkshire pudding which isn't really pudding (and which a lot of belgians think is made from yorkshire terriers cos that's all they associate with yorkshire! I've seen some horrified looks!), christmas pudding which is in fact pudding, toad in the hole which isn't made from toads, mince pies which don't contain meat, shepherd's pie which does contain mince and not shepherds...and so on!
A couple of weeks ago I went to Amsterdam which was really cool, hadn't been there before and I was very impressed. Went to a concert in a very grand concert hall, and ended up being late (a long story, and not my fault!) and then got a free drink cos we were late, amazing!) Met up with freidns in Amsterdam too which was very nice.
In other news, I have a new housemate! All the others are moving out (or have done already) and so far one new girl has moved in, so that's gonna be a bit strange to get used to. She seems very nice though so I'm sure it'll be great!
That's all I can th ink of for now, hope that's good enough!
Tot ziens
