Today was our first full day in Brussels where we got to explore the city a bit more! We woke up to the great news that we had tested negative for Covid-19 which meant we were allowed to leave quarantine. My host mom is so kind and got me a Belgian Waffle for my first breakfast! The house and the neighborhood is beautiful. Today we got to go to UC Louvain Brussels, where the AU Brussels Center is located and tour the campus. We had more orientation and got our monthly metro passes. We then broke off from the staff and went on our own to a mall where I got a hair straightener and blow dryer. A group of us went further into the city and saw Le Grand Place for the first time, it was so beautiful with all of the lights at night. It was a surreal moment to finally be standing there. Pictures do not do it justice. I am excited to have a day off from school tomorrow and explore more of Brussels on our own!
