vacances de l'automne

Salut tout le monde !

I'm very sorry that I have not written in so long! I have been very busy blahblahblah and we had the internet changed in my flat and the internet in my room has simply been not working for a week so yeah it's been tough. And now I am going away for fall break for a couple weeks so I will still not post. But for just a quick peep of contact and to let you know how it's going here, I just wanted to tell you my itinerary! It's for this organization I am in called AEGEE, European Students' Forum, and it is having its Europe-wide forum next week in Macedonia so that's where I will go and Dane and I are making a nice trip out of it. Sorry I am not being so detailed but yes very quickly!

I am in Delft right now with Dane, I just arrived by bus last night so tomorrow morning bright and early we will begin our adventure!

We will take the train south to Brussels and hang out and see the city as a nice little half day trip. Then our flight leaves Brussels Charleroi at 6pm. So voilĂ ....

10/22 Flight from Brussels to Belgrade, Serbia.
We have booked a little apartment in Serbia for two nights and we will have about two days to discover the city a bit our selves and to go shopping (I'm in dire need of real shoes and we figured Eastern Europe's shopping would be a bit cheaper...)

10/24-10/27 "Pre-Event"
We are spending a few days in Belgrade with AEGEE-Belgrade who is hosting an event for three days before the Agora so there will be about 40 or so other AEGEE members from across Europe who will also be there for it. We'll stay in a hostel and we have a JAM PACKED schedule of sightseeing and even a lot of really nice authentic things like we will have a kolo dancing workshop ;) Apparently Belgrade is the European capital of nightlife so that will be interesting as well. They have already sent us a handful of songs that we have to study and learn as homework before we arrive.

10/27 Departure for Agora on the "Crazy Bus"
So basically dozens more Europeans will fly into Belgrade and come along with us for the Crazy bus to the agora so a nice party on the whole bus ride there and we will stop in a town called Laskovic which is apparently the barbecue capital of the world. Should be really nice if I can keep my eyes open ;)

Then we'll arrive in Struga, Macedonia for the AGORA!
10/27-10/31 AGORA
More details to come later I don't really know...:P

10/31 Crazy bus back to Belgrade (hopefully stopping in Skopje on the way)
10/31 Night train from Belgrade to Budapest

11/1 - 11/3 Budapest!!
Dane and I will spend a couple days in Budapest :D Unbelievably excited for this one! Uncle Alex especially if you have any suggestions, please send me an email and let me know!

11/3 Flight home from Budapest to Eindhoven, NL.

Then I'll just spend a few days in Delft then take the bus back to Paris on November 6th! Then well I will have to post some albums and whatnot! I hope everything is going well! I'm over half way done the first semester...:(
