Home sweet home .. ? ON Thursday, February 7, 2013 AT 7:07 PM

Perhaps there's another meaning to the saying "home sweet home?"

I'm now home from Brussels ^^ The trip went good and I was home around 10:30PM with all my stuff and gifts intact. I didn't do much more that night though, other than going to sleep. I was exhausted.

Anyhow, I will start to cover this trip bit by bit, not necessarily in any order. Just what I feel like writing about ^^ And right now I'm in a good mood so why not start with that - chocolate.

So, on Saturday we went to a Chocolate Museum near Grand Place. ^^ It was an hour long thing, about, and we spent the first 15-20 minutes listening to the person above! He was so cute (the pictures doesn't give him proper credit, really) and he explained very well so even though it was in French, I was able to understand about 70% of what he was talking about.

Above is a block of chocolate. Apparently every "chocolate house" uses the same block, but then they add their own personal flavors which makes the chocolate different in every house.

Down below follows a series of pictures I took in one of the many chocolate shops in Brussels! There were lots of them all around the city and you could almost smell the chocolate in the air. I swear, Brussels is a chocolate heaven for anyone who likes it. I'm not a particularly big fan, but I enjoy it from time to time. ^^

(I tasted one of these at another shop and the tiramisu-flavored one is amazing!)

As you can see, the interior is perfectly matched with the sweetness of the candy they sell! ♥ I really love spending time in them, even though I'm not buying anything. (The chocolate was, even though it was super yummy, very expensive and so I didn't buy much.)

That's actually all I've got on the chocolate front ~ ^^; Sorry. I did mean to take more pictures of all this, but in the end I just didn't remember. Brussels was just too distracting!

If I get the chance, I'd love to go again. Perhaps with a bit more money this time ~

Hello!

So to further describe my existance, I shall write what I assume will be an unnecessary profile.

So my name's Jennifer and I'm soon to be 18 and hella glad for that as well. I live in a village the size of your palm in the middle of nowhere and I take the bus to and from my school everyday for 20 minutes. I have decent grades, nothing to brag about except my average of 10 (full score) in English (lol my pride and glory) and I will try hard to raise them I promise. OTL I have a somewhat unhealthy love for languages as I tend to pick up a tad too many and at the moment I'm studying French, Japanese, Spanish, Finnish and English (while Swedish is my mothertongue). (English can't really count as studying though so scratch that.)

My ultimate life goal is to move to Japan and make a big enough success out of this waste of space of a life to actually get to stay there and if I'd get to choose, I'd never come back to Finland. I hate cold weather, I really dislike freezing but I do love wrapping myself up in warm clothing and blankets and sip on some hot chocolate while the chilly weather stays outside. I don't like sweating, but I like the summer. I don't really have any special feelings about autumn or spring.

I live with my mom and my brother and sister, both younger than me, and my dad lives a random life in Spain. (I don't really care to keep up, it's mostly gym business anyways.) He calls sometimes but I rarely see him and it's been that way for such a long time that it doesn't really affect me anymore.

I think I'm a person really easy to misinterpret, because it seems as if many people think I'm someone I'm not. I don't know why that is, but I guess I can be pretty foulmouthed sometimes. I really can't stand people who complain about the smallest of things and that pisses me off. Weak people also pisses me off, those who just looks as if they're begging to be beaten up. (Not that I'd hit anyone, I really wouldn't, but you know those people.) People who are full of themselves can also go die, especially if they're younger than me and act as if I couldn't just step on them like an ant. I guess I dislike lots of different types of people...

For things that I love, I can mention things like manga, fanfics (boy luv onley), kpop, jrock, visual kei, going to concerts, touching the artists inappropriately when I manage to reach them on stage, studying languages, reading about asian stuff, looking at Tokyo on Google Maps, research universities, look at apartments in Tokyo and calculate how much I would have to make to live there. Yes, I have a life like that. <3
