Just Another Brussels Protest

There is a protest just about every week in Brussels, they are scheduled like concerts.  Most are political protests, some are social protest and in this case, an impromptu protest.

This happened very close to my residence, I actually drove thru the very first part of it.  Apparently a taxi driver who was not licensed to pick up passengers at the airport did just that.  Then when a policeman wanted to check his registration papers he ran over the officer and drove with him on the hood for 2 km.  The officer, trying to get the car to stop shot at the driver and mass chaos ensued.

Welcome to Brussels 

It is Official

Its official - I don't like this post.

Don't hate it or I'd be leaving here tomorrow, but it will NOT go down as one of my favorite postings.  I've been here 265 days and I don't like much more than when I arrived.

The job satisfaction is right up there with my previous job in a "private bank," come to think of it the morale is just about as high.

My bid list should come out in the next few months and if I'm lucky I might get out of here by next May.
