Coincidences & Cuisine

So far, through this program, I have met
...the cousin of someone I went to high school with. This person actually saw me graduate high school.
...someone who played high school soccer with my freshman year roomie.
...someone who went to high school with my junior year roomie.
...someone who knows another friend from high school.

And this has only been two weeks! These connections are non-stop, everyone keeps having them; it's like an episode of lost over here.

I love grocery stores here, btw. I've so far managed to handle them with no incidents, and the prices are better than I expected.
Milk is absolutely delicious--it's like a snack. Frozen meals are good quality. Beer & wine is everywhere, and cheap! The chocolates are good, even from the low-quality places. Anytime you can eat a waffle on the go is a good day. Bread is a meal in itself!
The coffee, however...well, I'm living off of instant and trying to make it work. Their tiny little coffees don't do it for me. However, Coca Light and I are getting along just fine.

Looking ahead, this weekend is touristy stuff (Atomium!). February will include Bruges, Binche, and Paris (I know, be jealous!). I'm finally settling in to my apartment, and am getting much more comfortable. Tonight, I attempt my first load of laundry since arriving. Wish me luck!
