On my first year back to Belgium one of my classmates at the Dutch course said: “The first two years are the most difficult”. I braced myself and went on with all the resilience I could muster.

I didn’t know what to expect and I felt completely lost most of the time but somehow, at the end of my third year back here, things are falling into place.

It will take time, but you will get used to everything and start feeling at home. You’ll get your documents in order. You’ll find a job. You’ll make friends. Don’t lose heart.

Let’s talk about Belgium:

Olá! Sou Brasileira e minha irmã e meus sobrinhos moram na bélgica. Passei 2 meses e meio em Nijlen <3 Gostaria muito de imigrar para o país, ou passar um tempo maior, mas não dá para ser por matrimonio (ja estou comprometida por aqui! rsrs). Você acha que existiria outra possibilidade? Quando estive aí não consegui encontrar nenhum caminho... Parabéns pelo Blog!

Oi, eu estava olhando no seu blog de novo e então encontrei esse informação muito interessante e legal sobre o meu país. Bem escrito, parabéns! Ik ben blij dat je het hier naar je zin hebt. (Estou feliz que você esta gostando aquí.) :) Eu queria eu consegui traduzir todo isso pra meu namorado Brasileiro porque o inglês dele não é muito bem, mas eu acho o meu português ainda não esta bom o bastante por isso...
Você recebeu a minha messagem aquí? Não se apressar pra responder, eu apenas queria saber. :) Tchau, groetjes.
