I have been emailing my Belgian Homestay Family since Wednesday. Chantal and Guy-Michel are only a little older than me and have three children in their twenties - two of whom are still at home.
They have homestayed students and teachers before and know the right things to do to make you feel welcome. They have emailed photos of themselves and their home and have told me something of their lives and interests. Like me, they enjoy reading, movies and walking. They also go cycling.
Liège is close to the Ardennes and Chantal has assured me that we will go walking there. I had best do some exercise while waiting for my visa!!
Movie-wise, Chantal and Guy-Michel have seen 'Bienvenue chez les Chtis' and 'Rien à déclarer' and preferred the former. Moi aussi, although both were amusing. Thank goodness for the subtitles though. I think I could understand about 15% of the French without them. Hopefully, this percentage will increase greatly after a year in Belgium.
