I knew Porpor a little bit from the forums and in the chatroom. She is studying in Lille (North-France) and she would go to her sis in Bremen (Germany). For that reason she had a connection in Brussels. The Eurostar from Lille arrived in Brussels abt 21.30 h and her connection would leava at 23.40 h. Because I had to go to Kortenberg for my job (a place near Brussels), I said to her I would come there and give her some company.

She was a little uncertain abt travelling alone through Europe and I know that the place around Brussels South is alittle bit tricky ( a lot of hookers, junkies and other marginals). So, before she came there I took some information in the station (the platform and the shedule of her connection). Then I went out to look for at least some decent place to drink and talk. It's not so easy to find as there are many bars that are meeting places for prostitute, their clients and other completely drunk and stoned ppl. I could find at least an acceptable pub.

Her train was right on time and I recognized her immediately. She was the first of all women of TF that I met. She was narak mak mak and also suay mak mak, lol. The shock for her must hv been more painful, lol.

We went to that pub, drink a few beers (at least, I did, she was drinking hot chocolat) and talked a lot about TF of course, studying, Thailand, Belgium (she seems to like Belgium) .......

Untill it was time for her to catch her train. I had my last train at midnight (directly going to my hometown in abt 20 min.).

I hope u enjoined our short meeting and that we will see u again in TL or Belgium maybe. And U know I had to do it has a kind of paying back all hospitality and welcome I got in your Thailand.

Also I have to say 'hi' to all ppl she knows from TF and some ppl in special (but the know it already).

Eric

its serendipity hehehehe

That's true TF spirit thaibel :-) helping TF members around the world...I like to hear about it :-)

yeah Eric, i know that place on the South. We build that new building just at the opposite of the station. Lots of windows and doors are already broken due to these Clochards, junkies,... and other people. It's amazing what we all find over there.

Good from u to keep her company on her way through Brussels. I wouldn't like to be there all alone eiher at night. C ya
