life is... in Brussels

I have been here for 2 days and I have been enjoying my time here. This is a nice city. Maybe not as beautiful as e.g. Paris but still very nice. It is smaller size wise which is very good. I live in walking distance from centre (I can drink and come back home on foot totally wasted after a fabulous party = meaning no need to drive car or pay for the night buses). The weather has been nice too. I am not surprised. Even tough normally it's shitty here (that's what they say) I somehow always manage to have good weather when I travel to European capitals. I always arrive at the first day of sun and always leave in the last one. It's the case for Brussels (the arriving part only).

I haven't had any pure "life is a movie" moments yet - no jazz singer of the most fabulous hot spot of the town has paid for my drinks yet, I haven't been dancing crazy dances to the jazz versions of Russian songs in another great hot spot, I haven't been an extra in a movie (did I mention something about too high expectations some time ago? Because I am not sure about that... :)

In return, I had a very nice and tranquil weekend, exploring the city or hanging around in the city cafés with some of my friends which are things that I obviously enjoy. I have a great flat and my flat mate seems nice. I am starting my job tomorrow. A bit stressed but also impatient to do it.

I am not disappointed about no "life is a movie" situations. It took me a few months to establish my life in Rabat. Now, I already have some experience in that. I will soon explore the proper places and I have the right people for that. And I will find more of them (both people and places). It's just the matter of time. Life is a movie, anyway. And even in the best movie you need to wait for the action to speed up :)
