I am now sitting in Belgium not knowing what day or time it is. We have crossed into a different time zone, and boy it is confusing me. Our previous flight felt like eternity, but we were surprised with some tasty meals. We aren't allowed to enter the main part of the airport which is breaking my heart, because Starbucks is literally right on the other side of the gate. I had even researched to make sure there was one here about six months ago.


Just from the small area we are in there is a lot of cultural differences.

1. the coke vending machine has a picture of a boy peeing coke on it
2. apple is spelled appel
3. its snowing
4. there are vending machines with waffles in them
5. I can't figure out how to flush the toilet
6. everyone is speaking french
7. diet coke is now coke light
8. coke is served by tab...along with the beer
9. I can't figure out Euros... I thought I just spent 6 bucks on chocolate milk - I actually spent 12! holy cow!

Next stop is Monrovia!!!!!!!! is this real life?? Gos is soooo good - I am still completely in awe that this is happening. I am constantly thinking of all those who financially supported me to make this possible!
