There are a lot of things I could talk about in this post. But I knew it immediately when I walked out of the shopping center I work in. The shopping center is in a suburb of Antwerp called: Kiel. It doesn’t have the best reputation, due to the fact that there are a lot of foreigners in that part

of town. I don’t say that it is justified to base your opinion about a place upon the race of its inhabitants, it’s just a fact. So, today I had to work from 6 to 10 pm and when I was about to leave the store I thought: this part of town will probably be as dull as you can imagine at night. But I have to admit, I was wrong. Kiel is a breathtaking place at night.

One thing I especially like are the lights. In front of the little park (called: ‘Kielpark’) there are trees in one line, and they all are enlightened in different colours. The tram/bus-stop is something cool as well, it is covered by an open metal construction with a checked pattern. Pale lights give an amazing effect to this architectural ceiling. And last but definitely not least there are the everyday-buildings. Blocks of 10 to 12 high where 1/3 of the windows are lit. This gave me a stunning bloc-party-feeling. I have no idea how I should describe it otherwise.

Currently I’m sitting in the train on my way home. I’m really tired because I had to wake up so early this morning (read previous post!). My mom said that the guys will be back tomorrow to finish some things. She mentioned as well that they will be at our house around the same time they were today. I just saw my second chance to lie-in float away.
