On Friday me, Frida and Alina went out in Waterloo to a pizza restaurant called Ciao. If anyone happens to be visiting Waterloo, this is a place I highly recommend. The place is situated in the centre of Waterloo, has a large variety of different pizzas with ingredients I haven't seen in Finland and the place itself is very cozy and the interior has a nice old-fashioned design.
After the pizza we walked back to the castle, and realised christmas has come to waterloo as the buildings on the Chaussée are decorated in twinkling lights.
Saturday morning everyone at the boarding went with the bus to Manon chocolate factory in Brussels. Belgium is famous for it's chocolate that is seen as some of the best chocolates in the world. The factory is a small place with only three employees and they make handmade chocolate and exports it to countries like Canada, Japan and Norway.
I learned a lot of things I did not know about chocolate like the fact that there is no such thing as white chocolate, it's only milk with cocoa butter.
After the visit at the chocolate factory I spent the day in town. Me and Alina had coffee at the Finnish seamen church, where you can buy Finnish food and other products. We went shopping on Avenue Louise and later that evening returned to the seamen church where they had an Au pair night for Finnish Au pairs in Belgium. We watched Hangover II and laughed a lot. It was nice meeting some Finns for a change too, and I got to practice my Finnish skills.
On Sunday I woke up early and went for a walk in Waterloo. I looked around at the popular antique market that is held every Sunday in Waterloo. If anyone is interested in antiquities that is the place to be, you can find basically anything there.
