First 2 days

Finally Ashwin has reached Belgium. So guys here it starts off. Came to the airport in blore at about 1030 in the night. Had a lot of wt issues. But took off some and paid for the extra wt. the flight was realllllllllllllly long. Then landed at Frankfurt. It took me 45 min to get to the next station. Frankfurt is a huge airport BTW. The flight was delayed by 40 min to take off. So got on to the plane and came to Brussels. Landed and came took my baggages nad met my prof at the airport. My cousin was also there. Was really nervous meeting him. Then we took the car and came to Leuven. It was very weird for me. It is right hand side driving here. So had a lot of prob even though some one else was driving. Felt very weird. Then came into the city. One of th first places I saw was the palce I am going to work and the place I need to give my defense at the end of one year. So a noce way to start of.
The city is extremely cute. That is the best way I can describe it. It is everything I expected. Stone roads with very Victorian style of buildings. Had lunch with my prof. Then came home to leave my stuff and went to look for a place for myself. So then saw the place. It was quite good. So decided to take it up. That was pretty much all I did that day. Was really tired since I had slept only for like 3 hrs for the last 40hrs.
So the today got up in the morn. Went and registered for my prg and became a student again. Well that is about it so far. Everything going fine. Will send in photos and other stuff very soon. So updates coming up.
