Belgium

Yesterday - It’s 7pm in Brussels and we are lounging around our hotel room snacking on some chocolate we bought today. Candied oranges covered in chocolate mmmmmm! We have on the British sports channel and it’s all about football. They can’t actually broadcast the game on normal cable so they are playing radio coverage of the game and just posting up flats on the screen. The football fans must go crazy trying to get an update without actually seeing the game! The games all just ended and now they can show dramatic shots of fans and players. Liverpool just won 3-1 and it looks beautiful in Liverpool – too bad I’m out of town lol! Everton also won so it’s a good day for Liverpool. Liverpool got second in the League and sadly they had the least number of loses, but they had ties which hurt their score (it was their highest finish in 7 years). Newcastle just got knocked out of the Premier league and they are showing all the old men crying on the tv, but I have to give them credit because although they are crying they are still singing their team’s song and clapping for them – how dramatic. I have a lot of respect for football players and fans – they play a ton of games compared to our sports and the fans are so loyal. Well the season is over and I never actually watched a game lol. You have to go to certain bars to watch matches and everyone I know either went to the games or didn’t care about football.
