You know, last night we were a little confused about the time, I mean, no one was really sure exactly when midnight was. I think someone checked their mobile and discovered that we were just 30 seconds away from midnight! My cousin fumbled with the champagne cork and heroically poured us some glasses, then we hugged and kissed and wished each other a Happy New Year. A couple of minutes later we heard a cheer coming from the street, bursts of fireworks and general revelry. That was the REAL midnight. I it was so foggy out, all the fireworks looked like mortars and the sound of them firing echoed off the buildings. It was more like a warzone than a party zone!
New Years Day. We took my cousin to the airport, had a cup of coffee and watched the big departure board. Its my last day in BXL tomorrow. The Joyeax Noel is all melted and the fog has cleared. Amen.
