Brussels, Belgium
I am a person in constant search for new paths. The path I have chosen for myself this summer was French language study. Plus traveling, of course. I had two reasons to do French: first was my immense love for the language, and second was that as a mass communications student, knowledge of the French language will always come handy.
I have opted to study in Belgium, not in France, because Belgium, unlike France, is at the geographical heart of the European Union. Which meant traveling to other E.U. member states would be relatively easy and affordable. The railroads from Brussels (Belgium’s capital) run like arteries to the country’s nearest neighbors – Netherlands to the north, Germany to the east, Luxembourg to the southeast, France to the south, and the U.K. to the west.
My plane from Rome arrived on time in Brussels. My cousin Gloria and her friend George met me at the airport and brought me to my language school in Banneux the following day.
