Haïti Bound......at some stage like, don't want to be too cocky now
So the move to Haiti keeps getting pushed back and pushed back. Now I'm told it'll be sometime in September. So to be honest it's not guaranteed that I'll even go, because there ain't no way I'm staying in the bar I'm working in now in Brussels. The hours suck (bar work helloooo) and the pay is laughably bad. You pay peanuts, you get monkeys right? So lets see how it works out. I could just be venting now and end up in the Caribbean in three weeks time, so take what I say with a pinch of salt.
Brussels life is........ different. the culture and city is quite different to what I'm used to, which isn't all bad (no hordes of drunken slappers wandering the streets at night à la Dublin), but there are things I don't like either. I don't like the fact that women feel scared and intimidated in the city due to the Muslim population of Northern African guys who seem to hang out on most metros and street corners. I'm not being xenophobic here, it really is a problem when western women are treated like sluts for wearing clothes that in Europe would be considered relatively conservative, but in the minds of these chaps seem to make them foam at the mouth and treat women here like less than human. Google "Femme de la Rue" and you get the picture.
Other than that, theres a lot of things that are really likeable here in Brussels, the European lifestyle of drinking coffee in an outdoor terrace, the beautiful Nothern European women, the sheer magnitude and quality of beers here that can either make a night epic or very very dangerous (my experience with 12% beer here should be enough to deter most). But otherwise there can be a very good life here
Fucked if I know. I'm still living out of one suitcase in a small room, being payed peanuts for working in a bar, so the sooner that ends the better, one way or another.
