making my way to London.. Thurs night, 12 Feb

Some lessons to be learnt from taking the Eurostar..

(me frazzled after a hectic journey to the train station at Leuven, and then Brussels Midi, and another hectic check-in.. i think this deserves a shot for illustrative purposes)



always leave early so you won't end up walking the whole way at lightning speed when your bus doesn't come after i dunno 15min and you're frantically thinking about how fast you have to walk to make it to the Leuven train station in time, and hoping that the train to Brussels Midi won't come too late or take too long


always be cautious and check-in early


ALWAYS MAKE SURE YOU HAVE THE ADDRESS OF YOUR DESTINATION!!!


always make sure your clock is set to the correct time so you don't wonder why the trains are taking off ahead of schedule and then after the second train sets off early, suddenly realise your clock is slow and how dangerously close you came to missing your train


always check that when they say there's food onboard, they mean free food and not ridiculously priced fare, so you don't end up raiding the gifts you were gonna bring coz you were so hungry coz you skipped dinner in anticipation of free food (buffet at that) and coz you walked extra fast and panicked quite a bit when you thought you weren't gonna make the train (don't ask why i'm bringing chocolate smiley face biscuits as gifts.. one of them anyway)



but i made it in the end! this is the St. Pancras Eurostar station in London!!!! it awesomess!!!!! cool station
anyway i was there for the weekend to visit sis and friend! details in subsequent posts, all ya gotta do is scroll down..
