- … a lovely very cosy coffee shop at the local mall. Will definitely go again as soon as I get the chance (and make sure to take a picture next time!);
- … that Arab ladies are very friendly in the feminine environment of a coffee shop on a weekday. Some take their headscarves off, showing their smiley face for once and say hello to the other customers. Unfortunately you would never suspect such warm faces would be hiding behind such dark, impressive outfits;
- … that the Afrikaans language, although having the same roots as Dutch, is not so easy to understand for a Dutch-speaker, and the other way around;
- … that the Belgium politic crisis is not quite the thing French papers seem to want me to believe;
- … that South Africa and Mexico have so much in common – good and bad;
- … that Belgian Egberts coffee is one of the best coffees on earth;
- … that it feels really good to find a fellow Spanish-speaker in the compound – even if she’s Argentinian ;)
- … that South Africans are born multilingual and switch naturally from Afrikaans to English and back (while I’m trying to make some sense relating it with German somehow!);
- … that I’m blessed to be here and get to know such nice people!
