First Belgian Rotary Meeting

On Monday night I went to my first Rotary meeting here and it was way different then the meetings I've been to in Canada.
 It was at the golf and country club in Genval, and it was beautiful there!

TheDifference's
-there were probably only 4 women in the whole club
-the members were drinking beer and there was wine on all the tables
-a couple of the members were on their cell phones during the meeting
-the food at the meetings in Prince Rupert is way better!
-they don't do 'a good buck' here
- it was during dinner so I didn't get to miss school to attend :(


TheSimilarites
- tons of talking that I had know idea what it was about
-everyone was looking for more people to help with their part of Rotary
- they specially welcomed people from other clubs and special guest (like me! :) )
-you could totally tell who was in-charge
-all the men were dressed like they just came from the office and all the ladies (including me!) were wearing heels (don't worry Momma, I didn't break anything!)


The topic of the meeting was RYE so me and the 5 other inbounds (Mexico, USA, Brazil, Equator, and Argentina) in my club and 3 rebounds (Mexico, USA and Equator) were all at the meeting, and we all had to get up and introduce ourself (luckily my host parents had made me practice the french, and it actually went ok!)
It was almost 11pm when we got home, and me being so tired from just living here ( I sleep well every night, but no matter what I am always tired!) I forgot to set my alarm, so for the first time all year I was late for school! <-- thats kinda a big deal for me because i was late everyday last semester...
