Word from Liege

Well, I have had a sick feeling in my stomach since Monday, the day before Chanel left. I have been a nervous wreck but today I heard from her and miraculously my nausea has gone away! I'm posting her message to me. It sounds like she is managing herself just fine. She's already been flirting with a Belgian guy!


"Hey!

I am in Liege now! Everything has been going okay, it is hectic.

Everybody here knows french! Do you know why? Because the only
classes not taught in French are the MBA classes!!

So everybody around me speaks french, everybody in the city center
speaks french and i do not speak french.

Do you know how hard it is to get to a city where you have to take
three trains and one bus? tres dificil! Take how hard that is and double
it from not being able to speak the language.

so on the airplane, this belgian guy kept talking to me and i was so
excited because there was lots of room on the plane and so i knew i would
get my two seats to myself. but then this guy sat down and started
talking to me!! and i only got the seats to myself for a little bit when
i said i was tired.

but then i got here, and guess what else! my backpack broke! and now i
am trying to find a backpack that does not cost 100 dollars. i do
not like this weak dollar stuff, i have to double the price of
everything!

so then i finally found my way to the train station and got my ticket.
only i couldn't figure out where my ticket went or what train i got
on. so i am standing there and finally these people have pity on me and
say they are going to the same one and they help me get on the train
with my huge bag. it is tres dificil to get on a train with a huge bag
and then to find a spot on the train where you can sit with it.

and then once you are on the train, you must figure out how to get off
of the train at the right place.

and then once you are there, you must figure out where to go. but my
laptop is about to die so i will write more whenever i can!"
