Gateway to Europe
Episode 01
When I planned my trip to Belgium
and Netherlands – I did not plan much. I believe that take things as it comes. Which
will have hardship, unexpected happiness and adventure? Therefore, I have asked
few friends to find me a place to stay in Brussels for 2-3 days. Camille and
Christophe both welcomed me to their place and shared their room. Great
friends!
I reached on the 17th
July mid noon to their place called ‘Albert’ which a outskirt of Brussels. It so
happened that Christophe’s friends were meeting that evening – then what “party
time” I had a nice welcome party and spend a day with them on outing. My recent
profile picture is one of them. Went around Brussels – which brought back some
of the memories of my visit in 2009 along with my Food & Nutrition security
– (WU-Netherlands) course friends.
Both, Camille and Christophe are
from Media background and were working on projects. Naturally, some of their
friends are also from media. It gave me an opportunity to share their
experience. Their friends accepted me as a friend –even though BIG age
difference was there.
Next day was a dinner party with
old friends – Camille, Eleonore and Bruno Blömeling
Unfortunately, Belgium had its
Railway workers strike on the day – I am suppose to travel to Namur for my official
work. Again my friend Camille came forward to drive me to Namur which is an
hour journey from Brussels. I had a nice car drive.
Finally I reached Namur. (Use google map to find NAMUR) .
