I'm back from a few days off at the Vlaamse Kust. I haven't done much but kicking back and relaxing with friends. I did however a couple of absurd yet sociologically interesting excursions. I paid a visit to the Mecca of Flemish nationalism — which looks like a cheesy level in RTCW — and the nearest ville de province at a driving distance just to get a little taste of France... Holidays always leave a bittersweet taste of Houellebecq poetry in my mouth...

It's now high time I start to plan my next trip to Poland, via Berlin. Let's add already the new DDR Museum to the must-see list.
