A friend came to visit and we took a little day trip to Bruges, Belgium. It was a great day. However, it started off a lil shaky...I got taken...yes...to the cleaners. Not really, but I lost 5 euros in the deal. You see, this distressed man walked over to where we were waiting for the train (at 6:15am, mind you) telling of his misfortune in losing his train ticket and needing to make a phone call. At first, I thought, yeah right buddy. But then I thought, what if he really needs helps. He went into this whole scam of a line and I think really only wanted 1 euro, well he got 5 when I handed him a 10 (WHAT WAS I THINKING?!?!) and he handed me back 5 euros in coins. He said he'd bring back the change, but being that he never took off his dark sunglasses and he had "those" teeth, I knew those were euros I'd never see again. (5 euros=roughly $7.50) I was pretty frustrated with my lack of street smarts at the time, but eventually got over it and enjoyed the day...

And, chocolate!
