This is a post in the Belgian beer review series.
A beer witha very nice abmer colour and an interestingly soft fruity flavour. Easy on the palate and very enjoyable overall.
14th Matchday: Chivas 1-0 Tigres
Omar Bravo scored within the first three minutes of the game and the match was over. Tigres tried to equalise but Chivas controlled posession and did nothing with it for most of the match.
Mr. Bean’s holiday
We saw this movie yesterday. Unlike the previous Mr. Bean movie, where he destroyed everything available at a museum, this one was a much more enjoyable experience, with his trademark grimaces and very funny body language overall.
His opera rendition, and the last 5 minutes of the film are worth the price of the ticket.
Concacaf Champions Cup: Chivas 2-1 DC United
In the return leg of the semifinals, Chivas got one step closer to reaching the World Club Cup in Japan by beating DC United, in a game where the team that made less mistakes won.
Furthermore, the stage is now set for the second consecutive year with an all-Mexican Final after Pachuca beat Houston Dynamo.
QotD: Extraterrestrial
I usually don't care very much about the QotD, but this is close to my heart so I will answer it.
Do you believe there is intelligent life on other planets?
Definitely. I read this book when I was a small kid, and between that and other literature by Carl Sagan and Isaac Asimov I cannot help but be convinced by pure probability.
However, they may not be very close, as they seem to have not reached us just yet. Or maybe they have, but are wiser than we are in their dealings with less advanced civilizations.
13th Matchday: San Luis1-0 Chivas
Chivas lost away at San Luis, in a very poor display from the team in general, but especially the strikers. In an unremarkable game, a good goal by Marcelo Guerrero made the difference.
I hope my Chivas play better tonight against DC United for the return leg of the Concacaf Champion's Cup Semis.
Today I reconnected with old friends
Courtesy of LinkedIn (for professional contacts) and hi5 (for all others) I have been able to get back in touch with a lot of people that at some point of my life have been important.
Maybe it's true that now we have weaker links but more of them. I don't know, but for sure enjoy the benefits.
Bagpipes in Antwerp
In Brussels and in Antwerp
As you may know, I'm Mexican and my fiancée is Finnish. We've been together for quite a few years, but as a friend says we probably look like one of those ads from United Colours of Benetton.
In Brussels I'm Morrocan or Turkish, whereas my fiancée is Flemish.
In Antwerp I'm Morrocan or Turkish, but dangerous anyway, whereas my fiancée is a local, or maybe Dutch.
In Brussels I blend in with the general population, and so does my fiancée.
In Antwerp, de Metropool, I have found more hostile stares directed at me, or worse, my fiancée when she's with me.
The good news is that at least everybody thinks that I speak their language: the French-speakers speak to me in French, the Dutch-speakers in Dutch, the Turks in Turkish, and the Morrocans in Arabic. The Spanish-speakers usually don't know who speaks Spanish here anymore 😉
Regardless of the interesting experiences, we had a very nice time in Antwerp, a beautiful but rather misjudged city where I have some good friends.
Belgian beer review: De Koninck Bolleke
This is a post in the Belgian beer review series.
A beer from Antwerp with a very nice amber colour, and an interesting edgy malt and fruit flavour. It is refreshing, light and easy on the palate.
