The life of Niek Storteboom

Bruxelles 2006 (Part 2)

Just had a lovely weekend in Brussels again.

First off, thanks to Klaudiusz who proved himself a great host, cooking Polish food 3 days in a row. Good for going drinking on. The dude has been busy the last few months. Buying a house, getting engaged and a new job. Still had time to go and get wasted with me. Good man!

I went down to go and visit some old Aiesec buddies, who were throwing a party in the MC office. It was very cool to see some old mates: Kevin, Jan, Tanja, Vija, Ola, Roxie, Osku, Simone, Boban, Tijs, Wouter etc. My highlight of the evening was downing the tequila bottle I brought along in 1 minute. I had *some* help though. My guttoral scream " whooooohahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa" was the final straw and the neighbours were bitching like only people who haven't gotten laid in 12 years can and we had to move the party just up the road. To a very cheap bar :-)

I can honestly say : playing table football while barely being able to stand upright and still winning is a good feeling! And Carol, you're still a light little number. I don't believe the bad girl stories though!

Saturday was a strange and wonderfull day. I woke up with a giant hang-over. (Damn you tequila!) and got my ass to town. For about 5 secs. because then Osku offered for me to come over so he could cook for me. Praise the Lord for mates like that!So the man (and his Mrs.) made me a wonderfully fresh salad, fresh coffee from coffee beans which he himself ground (sp.?) and mint thee.

And I was introduced to Paula. A girl I immidiately took a liking too. Maybe it was because she was totally unashamed to discuss every single subject. A female version of me, nice!It was then no surprise that I proposed to her only an hour later, after Simone broke off the engagement of Osku and I. A shame but ever though I love him and and his cooking, his tits were too small anyway. So no big loss and Paula was a much better choice.

She could be bought with champagne she said, so we proceeded down to place Sablon to have some mid-afternoon drinks. Some alcoholic refreshments later I left the Finnish crowd to go and have a nice Polish dinner. Zubrowka being about 90% of it. Dziekuje!

Evening was spend with the Poles and the Finns in a bourbon street type estabishment in a small square behind the joke of a Brussels stock exchange. Mappa Mundo. During the evening girls with knives, shagging in sauna's and enjoying life were the main topics.

Surprisingly, I was up at 9am on Sunday, and spend the morning talking about life, love, women and money with my host. A few hours later I went to visit my birthday mate and have some lunch in the palce with THE worst service in Brussels : Arcadi. Tons of fun was had, espcially because I was quite busy laughing at my talking partner because she was informed that she left a borrowed lap top in an open window sill. And it was raining. Heavily. Ouch!

Luckily for her the thing still worked though. ;-)

Anyway, a nice and alcoholic WE, topped off by picking up my BMW from the garage yesterday after receiving the mother of all services. It's bloody great!

Next WE : playing with car and meeting up with the only Spanish girl who can see eye to eye with me. Literally.
