Yesterday i took the train to Aalst and my second family came to pick me up at the train station. Jan and Mieke, the parents, dont change much. Klaas ,my youngest hostbrother, He becomes a guy now ,not a boy anymore. Hanne, the only one sister, still looks pretty as before with longer hair.

Nothing changed much, the house that grandma used to live have been rent by the young couple.

Klaas and I still feel closed to each other. We exchanged the story of our lives a bit. And then i called to Mr. Oost, my favorite teacher, he used to give french lesson for me. i will meet him tomorrow and give him souvanir.

When i arrive there, Saskia, my best belgian friend, gave me a call and she drove directly to me. Hahaha! bosth of us were glad to see each other. After launch Saskia and I drove to the first family of mine in another village. Pity that no one at home. So we go to the scout's barbecue party (something like that to make the money for village) i met Saskia's cousin, (another) Hanne, same age like us... there were a lot of people there and it was so noisy. We didnt sit there for long so we drove to the city and sit outside of the coffeshop and enjoy the people who walk around in this shiny time of the year..... It's so nice weathere here; hot but cold wind, i believe i get a bit burnt. We tried to find " the frituur" ( french fried shop, very very popular here with many different sauces) but ze forgot that it's sunday...so.. we had to go to Mcdonald instead...

Unbelievable, one cola here is 1.60 euro for the medium one.. god...

and one set is 5.30 euro!! ( well, i didnt buy it as i already had lauch)

We sat there from 3-5 then we went back to my hostfamily. They were preparing for the firewell party for Leen and Liselot to Tanzania and to make money for building a school there.

I'm watching tv, miss belgian contest, they are so ugly and not so smart. Well, it was fun anyway and i'm glad that i can still understand a lot of dutch but it 's still a bit hard for me to talk. Anyway it was not so bad at all:-) they were surprised that i can still understand it.

At 8.30 pm Saskia came to pick me up. On they way , we also picked up Sandy (another friend of us, she has twin , Nancy,and both are pretty, i like them a lot )

then we went together to the city. There were Tom, Manu and Stenfan were waiting for us. Wow, i felt really good to see them!!! This time even much better than 4 years ago. They talked more english and more friendly to me. Perhaps im more talkative with them as well:-)) I feel that we are the same level, same age, not like former , i always thought that they are older than me and different attitude. But now, i dont feel any different.:-)))

We sat there and talked and talked about many things. They would like tp come to visit thailand one day:-)) ( well, i heard Saskia said like this since 4 years ago:-)))

For draft beer ( and it's local beer from Aalst named Safir) it costs 1.60 euro. for calsberg, 2.30 euro and for another belgian beer cost around 2-3.5 euro.

We had to say goodbye around midnight as some of them have to work tomorrow. I had really good time with them, although mostly they talked dutch and i understood just some, but it was nice though that they came :-))

We will meet again on Saterday for Saskia's birthday:-))

today i will leave to Den Haag to meet friends there, well , another of adventure:-)))
