The Most Amazing Week (part 5)

And here we are again...

The last days I have stood eye in eye with Anastacia, and taken care of two little kids. More about that coming soon, but first I gotta finish the "most amazing week" series.

It's been a month and a day since I said goodbye to Kriszti. I can't believe time has been going by so fast... So here is the report of Friday:

Friday was a calm day. We just did some more walking around Antwerp, looking for a chocolate shop (which we found of course). Later on we got some lunch, and took a bus home to my place. We ate our lunch there, and Kriszti was able to experience a little fight between me and my bro...Then she said goodbye to my brother, because she wouldn't be seeing him again, and we left for Antwerp again.
Then we went to a supermarket, where Kriszti bought some icecream and an APPLE (lol!)
On our way back to Scoutel, I bought myself some fastfood. I didn't stay too long, cause I had to get up early for work next day.

So on Saturday I had to work from 8 till 14, which eventually turned into 13, so I got to Kriszti at Scoutel around 13.30. We went to the city centre again, and Kriszti bought some more chocolate XD. I also showed her where I'd be going to college, and we had some icecream. Then we took a bus to my place, cause mom had "invited" us for dinner. Kriszti absolutely loved the food :) After dinner I asked mom if she could give us a ride to Antwerp, which she did :) So then we agreed that me and mom would pick Kriszti up around 8 the next morning, cause that was the day of leaving ...

The Most Amazing Week (part 4)

Thursday was Zoo-day =)

So I picked Kriszti up, and we went to the Zoo by foot (since it was only a ten-minute walk). We arrived there around 11 I think. We decided to just walk around, not in any particular order...so I can't remember what animals we saw first and stuff, but I know we saw a lot of them :p
Even though my feet hurt like hell, it was really cool :)
We had lunch in the restaurant of the zoo (which was yummie) and in the afternoon we went to see the sealion-show. We also did a little contest of who could make the most disgusting noice while eating an ice lolly XD. Kriszti is deffo better at that than I am :p

*realizes that we so should have taken a pic of us eating icecream*

Well, another picture then:

(please fail to notice the elephant-butts on the background)

We were tired of the Zoo around 5, and went to the supermarket. We bought some bread and, back at Scoutel, Kriszti let me try some food she brought from Hungary. It was this kind of livercream thing, which I'm not really fond of :p Maybe if I'd eaten it with my eyes closed, I would have liked it though... the taste wasn't bad.

Then afterwards I went home, to catch some sleep :)

The Most Amazing Week (part 3)

Part three of the Most Amazing Week: my 18th birthday (July 26th).

I woke up, and felt old immediately XD.
I went downstairs, but couldn't find anyone awake. So I just got ready to pick Kriszti up in Scoutel. Right before I left, mom came home from shopping, and wished me a very happy birthday =)

Then I got on the bus to Antwerp, and I got my first birthday-sms's =) I love birthdays =)
Then in Scoutel I picked up Kriszti (who ofcourse, wished me a happy birthday too) and we took the bus back to Sint-Job. At home we just hung around a bit, getting ready for the party. Oh, and Kriszti also insisted on taking a pic of me, my mom and my bro. :p

Then around 3 o'clock, Ellen, Ilke and Joyce arrived. We had a really good time, the only problem was the language-barrier. My friends were talking Dutch, which I can't really blame them for, since it's still our mother thongue lol, but Kriszti's Dutch is still very limited (lol) so she couldn't really follow our conversations. Joyce tried very hard to talk to her in English though, which I think was pretty cool =) During the all-Dutch convo's, I tried to tell Kriszti what we were talking about, so that at least she'd have a clue. I do noticed that all the attention-paying was really tiring for her...
But well, except for that little problem, the party was awesome =) Most of my family came over too :)

I got great presents: two little books about Hungary and Hungarian, a cute little cup, diddle quiz-thingy, me-to-you bear, shopping voucher, and Kriszti gave me the English version of her fave book: The Tragedy of Man by Imre Madách (which I haven't started reading yet, due to lack of concentration) . Oh, and I also got some yummie champagne from a friend of my mom's, whom I still havent been able to say thankyou to :s (lol, where is the grammar in that sentence?)
The food was good too (barbeque) and we took some really awesome pictures:

My fave picture ever =)
From left to right: Joyce, Ellen, Ilke, Kriszti, holding me. I have this picture on my bankcard =)


Ilke and Ellen... after some struggles to get in the right position XD.


Me And Joyce... again, after some trouble to get into the right position XD.


I love this picture. My eyes and smile say enough =)

Around 10 everybody had to leave. Joyce's sister, Debby, came to pick her sister up. Debbie works at the airport, so she's very used to speaking English =) This resulted in a very cool and funny conversation XD.
Then around 11 everyone was gone, and my mom offered us a ride to Antwerp, to bring Kriszti to Scoutel :)
Back home I helped mom a little bit, and then went to bed.

I really had one of the best birthdays ever! Big thank you goes to Kriszti, Ellen, Ilke, Joyce and Debby for that. And of course,to my mom, who came up with the idea and arranged everything. =)

The Most Amazing Week (part 2)

Yay here I am again. Lack of updates is due to only one thing: work. It makes me so tired that when I come online, I never feel like blogging...

But anyway, here is part two of the most amazing week:

On Monday I woke up quite early to take the bus to Antwerp, and pick Kriszti up for her first day spent in Belgium. We walked around the historical city centre of Antwerp, sat down somewhere for more than an hour and just talked and talked. We had lunch, and then got to the bus to go to my house. There we spent some time on msn, and then we had dinner. Spaghetti :D Then at night, we went back to Scoutel, and I took the bus home...
You can find a much more detailed report of this day at Kriszti's space =p

Me and Kriszti, in the back you can see the river Schelde

Then on Tuesday, I got up early (again) , took the bus to Antwerp (again) . I picked up Kriszti, and we went to the train station. There, we bought tickets for the train to Brussels. We arrived in our capital around 11 (i think...gosh i dont even remember anymore :s ) I noticed that the station looks a lot nicer when you dont run around there like crazy trying to find someone XD
Then outside the station we started our search to the "Grande Place" where I would start my very well organized tour *cough* to show Kriszti around the city.

We found the Grande Place, and after getting a map at the tourist info, we started our city walk. The walk brought us to some interesting monuments in Brussels... I didn't have much to say on all the stuff, but at least Kriszti saw the city =p The most important thing according to me was Manneke Pis (The Peeing Guy! lmao!) :D
Around noon, we decided that we would just find the royal palace, and then rest a bit and get some lunch. But appearantly, "just finding the royal palace" isn't as easy as it sounds. Even though we had a map, we didn't manage to get to it...Well we got to the place where it was supposed to be (according to the map) but it just wasn't there. Lol!
Anyway, we gave up on the royal palace, and went back to the city centre to find something to eat (and give our feet some rest! cause auch, mine hurt so much). We sat there for almost two hours I think, eating fries (yup, Belgian fries lol) and chicken. Sitting down felt soooo good lol. At some point, we started reading the first sms's we got from eachother =) =) =)

Then around 3 (i think) we decided to go to the subway, and get to the Atomium and mini-europe. So we got on the subway, but halfway the trip, the tram stopped at a stop (oh really? XD) and didnt start anymore. The lights went out for a moment, and we were asked to "leave the carriage". So we had to wait for another tram to take us to the Atomium. We finally got there around 16.30. We bought tickets for mini-europe, and walked around there for an hour. I'd never been there before, and I gotta say that it's quite fun :)
Some pics:

Kriszti in front of a mini version of the central square in Antwerp

Me in front of the Arc De Triomphe

When we'd walked through the entire "parc" of mini-europe, we both got an ice lolly, which was soooo good cause the weather was really hot. Of course, I managed to spill it all over me (and that includes getting it into my shoes).
We also bought a keychain with a picture of us posing with the mini-europe mascot =) Dunno how many times since Sunday that i've been looking at that keychain...but it's a lot.

Then around 6 we got back on the subway to the train station. We decided to take the train home and arrived in Antwerp around 7.30 (i think). I didn't stay in scoutel very long, since we were both tired and needed some sleep.
It really was an awesome day =) =) =) At night, my voice (!!! =p ) was almost totally gone. I'm really not used to talking so much XD .
