Eurotrip

Hi Reader,

Its been a long long time since I have posted something on my blog. Couple of reasons for that, for one I did not have much to write about and second and the important reason I did not have the patience to type what I wanted to :)

But now I have both. Due to a stroke of luck I happened to get a chance to travel to Europe on an exchange program and above that got a scholarship that funds my travel across this continent :)

So where do I start? Reached Paris on the 25th of september and happened to get a free acco and merc as a cab to travel around. Thats a grand start one might think but when you are in Europe nothing is grand enough.

So I reach my insti on the 27th and find out that I need to take only 4 courses which leaves me with 5 full weeks to travel around. WOW!!!

Why wait I said and the very first weekend we travelled to brussels and Bordeux. Lets look at each one at a time. Brussels , as many European cities, has this great blend between traditional and modern architecture. Huge monuments that take your breath away to the dazzling glass structures that Might make u feel th building u saw before was from a stone age. Two of my most passionate activities very touched upon in Brussels. One was when we went to the autoworld museum and the second the trip to the comic museum. The entire collection of cars and bikes from over a century was everything an automobile enthusiast might want to see and there are no words to explain the beauty of the original artwork of the great cartoonists.

From Brussels we went to Borduex the "Wine Capital of the world". With the entire IIMC junta there it wa sgreat fun and the great St. Emillion wine just made the entire trip even better.

Today as I'm writting this I took part in the Oktoberfest and will add the snaps very soon. The cafe is closing now...rest is next.
