The link above will show you a TMZ article where some of my fellow exchange students found Charlie Sheen in Paris.

This is something that truly makes exchange the magical thing it is.

The most exhange student thing to ever exist

For all of those who have not had a Kinder Bueno, it is happiness in solid form. However, this little treat right here is the most multicultural thing ever. Kinder is German for child. Bueno is good, in Italian. It gets better. Here in Belgium the wrapper is written in English, French, and Dutch. But it goes deeper. It also has numbers on it. The number system that we use actually originated in the Arabic culture.
overview:
- Arab
- Dutch
- English
- French
-German
awh!

Carnival

For all of you that do not already know. Carnival is soon which means only one thing here in Belgium. Yet another month were we will get a minimum of two weeks off school, because they love us. In Belgium there are so many holidays that the literal translations actually sound made up, and I have trouble believing my friends when they tell me that we just dont have school for several days.

when ever I have troubles with my french(Belgian french)

Before arriving here in Belgium I had learned a little bit of French back in Canada. However I learned Quebecois french. Which is completely useless here, and I find myself in situations where everyone is speaking in French and no one understands each other. When ever that happens I always think of this.
