February Vacation (Part 2)

On Tuesday, I went to my friend Tomas's house. Aysu, Tomas and Agustin all met me at the bus stop in the afternoon(we met Chinmaya at the house). We walked back to Tomas's house and hung out there for a while.

In the afternoon, there was a parade with all different floats and trailers filled with people from different groups, organizations and Chiro(kinda like boy/girl scouts). We had all changed into our costumes and went outside. They threw tons and tons of candy and little snacks. After the parade, we all went over to another building and listened to the people of all the floats talk. Aysu and I got a burger. Eventually we just went back to the house and ate something small. Then, we all went out to the center of Lanaken. They had a huge tent which we stayed under most of the time. Like I said, the music was bad. I would never listen to it on my own time. Actually, most of the songs I knew were just English songs that they had changed.

Carnival is really crazy. Everyone gets all dressed up and goes out to parties with really awful music. But, despite the bad music, it's still really fun.

I met a lot of people and also saw some people I knew already. After, we went back to Tomas's house and spent the night.



Thursday was Sander's birthday, so I helped out at home for a while. We took something like 15 kids to the police station for a tour. They all had a blast and it was really crazy with so many kids to watch.

After, I went to Lanaken again to celebrate Tomas's birthday. A bunch of us met there and ate dinner there. He was super surprised that we were all there. After that, we all went to Hasselt. There is a club there called Versuz. It's really fun with really really really good music. We met a bunch of other AFS students there at about 11. The line to go in was so long. All of us stayed there until the first bus/train which was at 6am. I slept like the whole day on Friday.



In the afternoon on Friday, I went to Hasselt and had a drink with Ellen. We both got on the bus and went back to my house. A little while after we got home, Christina and Elise came over too. We made pizza and watched movies. It was a really nice night!










On Saturday night, I went with my family to see a play in Sint-Truiden. It was really funny but a little difficult because it was in Dialect. Oh well! Also, Astrid and I ate super good fruit and chocolate.. muahaha :D
