This Summer I'll be going to Yemen for a Month, three weeks of which will be spent in an Arabic Course ...
It's been a while since I've been in - due to an operation and lack of funds - hardly any travelling was done the past two years ...
this however is about to change !!!
To be continued!
(February 14th, 2007)
Because this year work has been very slow, I thought I wasn't going to be able to travel at all, however a temporal job changed my plans and thanks to this I'll be making quite the trip!!!
Next Sunday I'll be leaving for the Western US and although I'll have to work during the day, I'm going to try to take advantage of my spare time as much as possible.
This is my itinerary:
Sunday July 11th: Brussels --> San Francisco
Monday July 12th: San Francisco
Tuesday July 13th: Sacramento - Stockton - Tracy - Hayward
Wednesday July 14th: Hayward - San Francisco - Phoenix (AZ)
Thursday July 15 th: Phoenix
Friday July 16th : Phoenix
Saturday July 17th : Phoenix
Sunday July 18th : Phoenix --> Seattle
Monday July 19th : Seattle
Tuesday July 20th: Tacoma - Auburn - Puyallup
Wednesday July 21st: Olympia - Centralia - Hillsboro(OR)
Thursday 22nd: Portland
Friday July 23rd: Salem - Lebanon - Corvallis - Springfield
Saturday July 24th : Portland
Sunday July 25th: Portland --> Los Angeles
Monday July 26th: Santa Barbara - Simi Valley - Ventura
Tuesday July 27th: Glendale - Burbank
Wednesday July 28th : Anaheim - Santa Anna
Thursday July 29th: Los Angeles --> Brussels(arriving on the 30th)
Work is advancing slowly but steadily, especially my Antwerp page is coming about quite well ... Can already offer you a few personal favorites and some restaurant tips ... the rest is work in progress ...

For a while there, I thought home couldn't possibly be where I was born so I wandered a little ... some plans happened, some didn't ... tried to move to Australia a long time ago, lived in Mexico for a while, came back, went to live in Spain for another while but still came back ... the Spanish pop-group Ella Balla Sola expresses it perfectly with the phrase "buscando un sitio para volver", looking for a place to return to, which is what home is ... the only place you can be sure you'll always return to ... and despite my wanderings, I think I've finally realized Belgium will always be that place ...
And there you have the ideal excuse for travelling, hehehe, if you don't travel, how are you ever really going to come home!!! Okay, okay, it's a good excuse, but of course there's tons of reasons to get out and see the world ... and I think the most important one probably is enrichment ... understanding and learning to respect diversity improves tolerance, and it's exactly the lack of the latter that makes this world such an ugly place to live in sometimes ...
All of you, keep travelling, cause basically, it makes of you a better person.
