Doesn’t
matter to which city you move, doesn’t matter if it’s abroad or in your
country, it takes time to feel like at home.
In the
beginning you have no idea which bus to take to get to the center, where to get
your morning coffee, in which park to read your book or from which rooftop you
can see the best city view. I must tell it is a bit confusing but most of the
time so exciting!
Little by
little you get to know the streets, the neighborhood, the people… You get to know the selling lady in your
local boulangerie, the best vegetable market, the best coffee places, the best
bars to hang out with your new friends…Little by little you learn how to avoid
traffic jams and little presents of the dogs left on the pavement. It starts to
be your home with all the pluses and minuses and yet it is like never ending
discovery. And that is what I love the most about living in a new city …when you start having this cozy
feeling and yet still you learn something new every day. You still get lost in
the little streets of the city however the journey becomes much easier!
I love
living in my new city – Brussels . I have not tamed it yet, however I
hope I will never do…it is so much more exciting this way!
