This little man and I had a long conversation about my attitude to integration ... he felt I was doing just fine and said he hadn't seen many Belgians at this graffiti park in the city.
He found my attitude refreshing and loved the fact that I was forever turning up with guests from other countries, showing them the work of Antwerpen's graffiti artists ... taking the time to 'chat' with his crowd.
Not really ... but he did love to pose.
I left New Zealand mid-2003, bound for Istanbul and a new lif. After two years, a Belgian guy lured me into his world, deep in the heart of Europe. For a long time I was an in-process immigrant. One day we married. These days it's about photography, a little red wine and wandering ... and so the journey goes.

And poop! :D He loves to poop too.
You're so delightful when you're annoyed.
Actually, he wasn't a pooper. He said the Dutch pigeons come over and poop, leaving the Belgian non-statue-pooping pigeons with the blame ...
I'm glad you're enjoying my irritation with this course ... and of course, you have the added bonus of integrating more deeply than the average Belgian by virtue of being privy to these 'immigrant only' lessons.
