“Belgians can be very conceited. I mean, don’t get me wrong, I love my friends but everyone always think they’re right and everything is always a competition about being right without actually knowing facts. 

The kids here are always complaining about their marks but I’ve never actually seen anyone bother to study or even take initiative of any kind. It’s kind of monotonous really. They also tend to be very less accepting, whenever I do something differently they always say things like “you’re weird” or make a face at me as if I’m illiterate or something. 

I’ve had a great time in Belgium this year but there have been quite a few low moments because of this narrowness I find here.”
