Battle of Waterloo

This weekend it was the anniversary of the battle of Waterloo. Every year there is a representation of the battle so you are able to live that experience.

Unfortunatelly I was not able to see the battle, but I saw the preparation for it.
I love history to visit so historic places and when there is something special like this happening I enjoy it even more.

It is also funny that in my 3 years in Belgium I never went to Waterloo...

3 years in Belgium

3 years ago, I came to live in Belgium, it has been a great experience :)
I do not know if I will be here for a 4 year.... but life is full of unexpected things so you never know.

I was reading my blog from the time I arrive to Belgium and I will like to share with you what I wrote that time

June 22, 2005
After an almost 11 hours trip I finally arrived to Belgium :)
Some highlights of my trip
- It was sad to leave my family again for one year, so it was sad to leave them in Tampico
- My stayed of 5 hours in Mexico City Aiport was cool, first Mariana and Cecilia went to visit me (as I already mention on my last post) and then Cindy, Kike and Fabian came so it was also great to see them there.
- Airplaine travel was ok but i could not sleep well
- Stay in Amsterdam of 2 hours nothing interesting happend
- Flight Amsterdam - Brussels was really fast 20 min trip they where giving the drinks when we were already going down.
- Arrive to Brussels it was cool, people went to pick me up (30 min late but it was cool), after that we took all my stuff to Paola and Christoph place where I will stay until 1 of July when I will move to the appartment

After my trip it was my first afternoon on Brussels, we went to pick up Vicky a girl from UK that will be MC Ceeder and also she is my roomate for the first 2 weeks.
Then we went to a gyro place that was nice.

Today me, Kevin and Vicky are going to a conference on the European Parlament so I think it will be real cool

That is all for now, I think I still have jetlag...

My carbon footprint


I just calculated my carbon footprint, I am not so sure the results are correct since I do not put the correct amounts of electricity and gas that are used in my house. I putted some calculations.

I will try to do this exercise every year so that way I can see if I improve or not my carbon footprint.

ps. This is the good thing of having a blog you can just post something and then compare it in the future without loosing the previous report :P

Remembering Euro2004

Now that Europe is again crazy for soccer, thanks for the Eurocup. I remember that during the last Eurocup I was also living in Europe, I was in Germany studying.

I remember that the whole country was crazy for the Eurocup and even in school we were having food in the cafeteria according to the teams that were playing that night. Also every night there was a party in our dorm in order to see the games...

Now that I am in Belgium I can see that people care for the cup, but not the same way as in Germany, maybe it is because the Belgium team is not in the cup and they are kind of bad...

Well here are some pictures of the last year cup in Germany

Short trip to London


During Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday I had a short trip to London. 
The trip was great, I was so happy to see some friends again and also to meet a lot of new friends.

Also during the trip I had a lot of time to think about my life and what I have done and where I want to be in the future.

Now I am back in Belgium, waiting for the weekend to start

EU Open Day


Saturday it was the EU day and it is the only day of the year that all the European Institutions are open to the public. I was very interested in this day, specially since I am doing my masters in European Business.
This was also the first time I was in Belgium during this special day, the two previous years I was traveling.

I was only able to see the European Commission and the European Parlament, I had no time to visit the other buildings, but maybe next year...

Problems with blogger

If you are wondering why I have not updated my blog is because blogger is having some troubles and I can not upload pictures to my blog.

I am getting this message

The following errors were found:
blogID: Required field must not be blank
Anyway I search online and several people had this error but it was solved by itself.

Lets wait and see....
