Little Belgium (4)
After some months of filling this place by criticizing, mocking and provoking our Belgian fellows, I have to admit that I now truly feel sorry for them. Not for the crap with which I tend to fill this space –since it is probably hardly read by them at all- and it is all to be taken with a laugh and some grains of salt, but for the events that recently took place and shocked the country. Wallonia had her own version of the Haiti earthquakes and Flanders was horrified by several murders and the confessions of a cold-blooded serial killer.
Where to Buy Books in English in Leuven?
One great thing about studying in Leuven is that virtually everyone speaks English and/or another major European language. This means it is easy to get around and interact with people. But then, nearly everything that’s written, from street names to shop signs and restaurant menus, is in Dutch and this can be initially disconcerting to non-Dutch speakers. It is also quite a challenge for those of us who read stuff mostly in English to find books in that language.

A RETROSPECT ON THE INTERNATIONAL WEEK'S FOODMARKET
On Thursday November 26, LOKO international organised the annual foodmarket. This year the event was a part of the international “eat me, drink me” week. Verdict: A tasty success, worth repeating.
International Student Patricio Cuéllar
Friday, 14.00 at STUK, I have an appointment with one of the 2009-2010 newcomers. His name, Patricio Cuéllar; his country of origin, Mexico. Pato, as his friends call him, is a very enthusiastic young personality who came to Leuven as an exchange student in the faculty of Economics. He lives and studies in Monterey, but for the time being, and until the end of the academic year, watch out, because he is among us!
International Student Sophie Menasse
The Voice spoke with Sophie Menasse (19), theater actress and philosophy student from Austria, about her passions, what she likes about Leuven, and what she thinks of the Flemish.
