Miracle 1
Went to Paris today, for the second time (don't ask), and after a good deal of waiting received my work permit! This basically means that we are all set to leave next Saturday.
Miracle 2
When I returned to Antwerp afterwards, I had to go to the doctor because of a fish bone that was lodged in my throat since eating 'paling in het groen', = eel with vegetables, with my grand parents yesterday. So I arrive at the waiting room, 10 people ahead of me, wait a lot, and when it is almost my turn: swallow the bone. Long live Belgian doctors, it didn't even cost me a dime.
Miracle 3
While going back home from the doctor I walk through the city with my ipod on, listening to 'Bucovina club', and get City High! You know, that feeling that you live in a great city, that all people and their annoying habits are adorable and even a bus filled to the ceiling with sweaty and angry people can not keep a stupid grin of your face. My co-passengers probably thought I was some kind of pervert, but that's ok, I am going to Vancouver anyway :-) I'm glad I got another City High in Antwerp before leaving.
Miracle 4
My dear friend Michael calls me, tells me he is already back from Korea/Germany and that he will be able to attend my farwell party!

Life is pretty good to me....
