Well... here I am in cold Bruxelles having my third glass of Grimbergen double blond (6,7% alcohol). The day had been tough as we were discussing issues like sexual gender based violence (SGBV) and reproductive tract infections. In fact the past week had been tough too. There were a lot of activities and practical stuff that -- truthfully -- one can learn in a semester -- and we crammed all of it in a week. Some of the topics were familiar as I have been exposed to them in my previous missions, but the nitty gritty things (which I don't need to mention here) were all star trek language to me. And okay.. let's not talk about these things here. It is better that you know that there are more than 300 varieties of Belgian Beer!!!
As soon as the snow was out (like it deterred us from going to pubs at night!!!), I went shopping and bar hopping in downtown with some of the workshop participants. Now, we are a funny bunch: 20 females:3 males. Talk about pressure, here!hehehe. But honestly, I feel like the group has known each other for a long time. There are no hang ups and no prima donnas.
My colleagues here are pretty cool. We talk just about anything, argue about some issues and agree on a lot of things including our beers (and dancing). So here are some pics which were taken during the past week. Hope you all like them! And just something more before I go.... Tomorrow we go bar hopping again in down town B. I am hoping to taste my 16th type of beer!
