BRU






                     Beers at Delirium Tremens.
         Brussels' most typical dish "les moules frites"
The Royal Family of Belgium and the Royal Palace.

                   The European Commission.
A monument dedicated to Robert Schuman, the one who made the EU a reality not only a common dream.



In may, we travelled to Brussels in order to visit other relevant orgs. We visited some think tanks related to international trade like ECIPE or EuroChambers and we also had a meeting with people from DG-Relex and DG-Trade in the Charlemagne Building of the Commission. I also had a personal meeting with spanish translators working in the EU Council, it was pretty interesting and discouraging at the same time... This trip was very important for me as I am writing my thesis about the EU. 

GVA.

The UN headquarters in Geneva.






           A pink fiat 500 in front of the Int. Red Cross.
                      A freezed Léman lake.

                  The WTO heardquartes.

For those who do not know I am studying a Master degree in International Economic Relations. Last February me and my classmates went to Geneva in order to visit some international organizations as the UNCTAD, UN or WTO. It was a very stressful week with plenty of meetings with think tanks, orgs, etc but I managed to have the time to visit the city and took some pictures. At this moment I am writing my master thesis and what I can tell is that it is the most difficult thing ever. Wish me luck!

Stand-by. Remembering the past.








Just some pictures that I took last february when I was in Paris. I am planning a weekend there in november. It is always nice to go back to Paris, so many memories and stories to remember. BTW, I am not going to update the blog until next month. I am just too busy with my thesis.
