I have no more classes, and just free time to study for exams and do as I please, so I took some time to relax my mind. During the first week I went to Brussels, Belgium. During the second week of May I went to Scotland and during that same weekend into the third week of May I went to Amsterdam, Netherlands. <\/p>\n\n\n<figure style=\"width: 480px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/65535\/52120382939_892d7b616c_z.jpg\" alt=\"An elaborate stone palace with a tall tower sits across a large brick courtyard.\" width=\"480\" height=\"640\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Grand Palace of Brussels.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n<p>I would say that my favorite place was Brussels, Belgium. I absolutely was in awe when I got to Belgium because the architecture was beautiful. The spoken languages in Belgium are mainly Dutch and French, but most people also speak English if necessary. I found it really awesome to hear people speak in Dutch and French, rather than being scared of not knowing the language. <\/p>\n\n\n<figure style=\"width: 344px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/65535\/52120134376_53de357b1f_z.jpg\" alt=\"A waffle sits on a white plate covered in caramel sauce and topped with a scoop of ice cream.\" width=\"344\" height=\"640\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The most amazing Belgian Waffle I have had (Legian Belgian waffle with Biscoff cookie crumbs, caramel sauce, with vanilla and cookie ice cream).<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n<p>Another amazing thing about Belgium were their famous Legian Belgian Waffles. You could find a waffle store on every block and it smelled absolutely amazing. Belgium is also known for their Belgian chocolate and beer. <\/p>\n\n\n<figure style=\"width: 480px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/65535\/52120134321_e409cf0910_z.jpg\" alt=\"Cityscape of old buildings and rooftops from above.\" width=\"480\" height=\"640\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">View of Ghent, Belgium, from the top of Gravensteen Castle.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure style=\"width: 344px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/65535\/52120134356_0e5f7c827c_z.jpg\" alt=\"A four story brick building with large windows on each floor.\" width=\"344\" height=\"640\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Anne Frank House in Amsterdam, Netherlands.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n<p>I am so grateful that I got to go on these trips and I am now in exam preparation mode. I have finished two exams and still have three more exams spread out through the next three weeks. I look forward to my trip to Italy as a reward for finishing my semester abroad.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"card\">\n<div class=\"card-body\" style=\"background: #D7D7D7\">Learn more about this blogger&#8217;s study abroad program: <a href=\"https:\/\/mystudyabroad.missouri.edu\/index.cfm?FuseAction=Programs.ViewProgram&amp;Program_ID=10023\">Lancaster University<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>During the first couple weeks of May, I decided to travel to a few different countries in Europe.
