If there's something strange in your neighborhood, Who you gonna call?

Ghostbusters?


I'm not sure how other metro and subway stations are in other cities around the world, but in Brussels, they like to play music. A fabulous and extremely random assortment of songs, which makes the metro even more entertaining than it already is. I cannot tell you how many times I've been standing by myself at a metro stop and must fight the urge to sing along, or break out some of my awesomely Caucasian dance moves.  Now, for your enjoyment, I will compile a list of some of the songs I've recently heard at various metro stops throughout the city, so you too can appreciate the randomness of it all:

• Come on Eileen- by Dexy's Midnight Runners
• Money - by Pink Floyd
• Baby Come on Over - Samantha Mumba
• Crazy - Gnarles Barkley
• Don't Bring Me Down - E.L.O.

And my personal favorite, the GHOSTBUSTERS theme song. Not gonna lie, there's something  pretty badass about jammin' to that song waiting for the metro standing amongst a bunch of old people, and of course, A.J. Rawls who was lucky enough to experience this soundtrack on his first ever metro ride in Brussels.

 There will be more metro playlist updates throughout my stay, so please, stay tuned.



So back to A.J. he is currently studying abroad for the year in Paris, France so he hopped on the train to come see me, (of all people) this weekend. Not going to lie, it was freaking awesome. We did some exploring around the city, discovered a super sweet parade and a super cool playground, that probably wasn't for grown ups, but let's be real, I'm no grown up.

On Saturday, Mary A.J. & I ventured to the Atomium! Woooo. It was a super cool building, and we paid 8 euro to go inside of it. The view was super sweet, but I really wasn't sure what the point of the exhibits inside were. Slash I'm kinda sad we didn't make it to the Atomium in August, because they have it set up so you can zipline off of the top!!

Anyway, it was super fun. Then I got to take A.J. out on both Friday & Saturday night to experience some Brussels night life :) Including Frites, Waffles, and of course Sultans of Kebap. (No, that's not a typo) Although the sign in the picture below may be, or just lost in translation...

We went to a karaoke bar, and let's just say, Casey rocked it :)

Well, That's all for now, I'm off to Amsterdam with some friends from VeCo as well as a few from SJSU this weekend. Updates shortly thereafter.
