Trip to Brussels

It feels weird when you have to travel by plane if you want to go for a coffee with a friend :)



I had so much fun being with Jiřka and Jirka again. I didn't laugh that much for ages. It was a perfect weekend: just resting in cafes, a bit of sightseeing, tasting Belgian beers...

Anyway, the biggest learning point for me is that traveling really is easy. I know it sounds stupid but for me this was the first time flying within the EU. My experience so far was:
- being guarded by two soldiers with machine guns in Macedonia
- bribing immigration officers in Tajikistan to issue visa for more than 2 weeks
- not being allowed to step on the German ground before proving to be EU citizen, again uniforms and weapons present (flight from Tajikistan)
- landing at Prague airport on the day of the highest terrorist attack threat ever, policemen and heavy armoured cars present (flight from Egypt, full of Arabs)
Really, this was the first time I did not come with some kind of suspicious flight, first time literally nobody cared, first time nobody told me "welcome back home, miss". For a moment it made me nervous how easy it was this time because with all the previous experience I always expect a major fuck-up behind the corner :)
