Paris
was very interesting but we had to leave for Brussels. We boarded the SCNF high
speed train called thalys from Paris to Brussels. It’s very fast, convenient
and comfortable. It took us about an hour thirty minutes to arrive at Brussels.
Before
we alighted in Brussels, there is a special announcement that we should watch
out for pick pocketers. I thought it wasn’t anything serious until the moment
that we were getting off the metro within Brussels. These guys actually pick
pocketed our Professor but being an experience person that understands how pick
pocketers operates he took charge and halt the train from leaving. These guys
had to release his wallet when he ordered the train driver to call the cops.
Finally,
the situation was brought under control and we proceeded to the new hostel
which was more spacious and convenient than Paris hostel. After we got our
room, I quickly took an hour nap and woke up some minutes before 7pm for
dinner. It was a delicious meal that I can describe as a warm welcome to Brussels. At 8pm,
we had a meeting so as to inform us about the norms of the hostel and some house
keeping rules.
