For New Years i went into Bruxelles with some exchange students. We walked around outside for a while and looked at the decorations at the Grande Place and then went to a bar until 11:30. The Grande Place is on of my favorite spots in Belgium. It seems that every time i go it is decorated differently. And even without decorations it is absolutely breathtaking. Then we went out to la bibliotheque royale to watch the fireworks. At midnight, it is not customary for Belgians to kiss someone. And so as i was explaining this tradition of ors they yelled out in excitement, "Oh! Like they do in the films?!!"
Anyways, we stayed all night in bruxelles celebrating at the cafés and we took the first train home in the morning. When i got home i took a three hour nap and then once again made the rounds to the grandparent's houses. We were out for seven hours visiting the family and by the time i got home i was absolutely dead.
