New Year's Eve in Brussels

This will be the first blog post for me of 2014. So i will start it off with what i did on New Year's eve. Through out the years, exchange students have made a tradition of going to Brussels to celebrate the new year. 2014 was no exception. As a Canadian raise boy, we usually spend our New Year's watching Canada play the USA in world juniors. But this year was a little different. We arrived at the gare(station) to a sea of people. We moved around Brussels for a bit in the sea of people. When i say a sea of people, it was literally a sea of people. When we finally got to the grand plase to see the fireworks we were in the center of a kilometer thick mob. Then people started to throw fireworks into the crowd. Got to love the Belgian mind set, "its really busy, hand me that roman candle". The legitimate fire work show put on by the Brussels city facilities was like daytime at midnight. For several hours the sky was fully illuminated with just about every colour in the spectrum. After that we went for Durham. I am not exactly sure what kind of meat is in a Durham but it is scrumptious, and that is all that really matters at the end of the day. The moral of this story is that I really want a Durham right now.
