Belgian! (To Belgium)

Today I am off to Belgium! Not nervous a bit, but I suppose by now I have a little experience with travel. First I take the train from Kouvola to Turku. Then I have to figure out how to get to the airport, but I don't think it will be too difficult. My train gets to Turku at 1 pm and my plane doesn't take off until 7.50, so I will have plenty of time. Of course, I have to allow time to get all my paperwork checked since I am not an EU citizen, and also just to go through security. But Finland is definitely not America, so no dictatorial TSA to grope me and make things difficult. So I fly to Brussels and then I have to catch the shuttle from the airport to the city center since I guess the airport is 20 minutes outside the city. So excited!! No definite plan as to what we will be doing, just some ideas, but I think it is better that way. This way we can walk around and explore the city a bit more. We are going to Paris on Thursday? So I am also super excited for that:D
