I've been in Leuven for 4 days now, but have just managed to get internet at my apartment (pictured above) today. I got to explore the entire town on foot looking for a power adapter for my laptop, which was frustrating at times, but now I know where Diestsestraat is, and what they sell at fnac, and I have a store credit at AS Adventure (I bought a bells-and-whistles power adapter from them for 27 euro! And it didn't even work with my laptop. I was getting desperate).
Luckily I got in on a Saturday, which is when the market is set up in the center of Leuven - unfortunately though, I didn't take any pictures. I did get some nice fresh bread and cheese, and a sausage and some olives, and I've been snacking on those all week. A pushy French vendor convinced me to buy 3 heads of french garlic, and now I have no idea what to do with them. I've been a little bit bored living here by myself so for some entertainment I've been cooking and will post some recipes soon. I've been doing a lot of reading too, but now that I have the computer I'll probably just goof off on the internet most of the time, as is my wont.
Today I found a french press and a nice coffee mug at my new favorite store, Hema (I'm well on my way to outfitting my entire apartment in gear from Hema). And I got some coffee at Koffie Onan, so I am currently enjoying a nice cup of coffee.
Translation update: "onan" is apparently the dutch word for "unacceptable"
