Morning Commute

So I have quickly reverted back to my city girl ways when it comes to getting to work in the morning. I take the metro to get to work which is their subway system. I start my morning with a walk to the metro with my coffee in hand. Depending on which way I walk my commute is more interesting. On one occasion I passed 5 men(soldiers) with automatic weapons protecting buildings. I live near the European Union so now need to worry about the fact that I walk by so many armed men. I try to smile at them like a true southern lady but they do not return the gesture.

I sit on the Metro for my ten stops either reading my kindle, listening to music or my Dutch podcast. People like to come on the Metro and panhandle on the cars. So far I have seen a woman rapping into a speaker on wheels covered in duct tape and an older man playing a melodica.

Once I have made it my ten stops I get off the Metro and begin my next walk. This time through a more country town and a quaint neighborhood.

Total each day I walk about 4km 300m, pass two frites stands and more coffee/patisseries than I can count.


AND now for my commute in pictures:

 

Metro escalator goes FOREVER

Even the street signs are different.

The houses are too cute for words

Walk through the greenery.

Does a hobbit live here!?
