I departed from Paris Nord train station this morning at
9:01am. I have never traveled alone through such a large city before. Clearly I
gave myself more than enough time, but it’s better to be early then late. I had
to take the metro from my hotel and transfer to another metro to reach my
destination. The moon was still shining
and very few people were out. The sun didn’t rise until 8:45am, two hours after
I woke up. Now I am on the train, heading towards Brussels, Belgium where I
will be able to navigate myself through the city to reach my hostel. Only a few
more days and I will be heading to catch a plane to Dublin then finally one
last long flight back home to Colorado. It has been an adventure for sure. In Brussels there is an International Festival of
Ice Sculptures ‘Ice Magic’ and the sculptures are comic book
characters. Four
hundred and twenty tons of natural ice will be transformed creating the worlds
of Tintin,
Quick & Flupke, the Smurfs, Gaston Lagaffe, Asterix, Boule et Bill, Thor,
Spiderman, Lucky Luke and many more. I plan on spending a few hours there. I
have never seen an Ice Sculpture before. I am most excited to eat a Belgium
Waffle. I hear they are amazing. Along with ice sculptures and waffles I plan
on seeing the giant atom and the Cathedral of Saints Michel and Gudule. Belgium
was never in my plans to visit until I had to figure out what to do after Paris
for four days so why not just go to another country before I head home! There
is also a comic book path within the city where I can walk and see graffiti
artists’ works of comics on the sides of buildings. I am excited to see what
the murals are. Other then that, I plan on relaxing and preparing myself to go
back to the States and reflect on what I have learned while being abroad.
How Exciting! You'll get to see very large IceCubes! :-)
ReplyDeleteIf you don't remember this, your car may be stolen!
ReplyDeleteImagine that your vehicle was taken! When you visit the police, they inquire about a specific "VIN lookup"
A VIN decoder is what?
Similar to a passport, the "VIN decoder" allows you to find out the date of the car's birth and the identity of its "parent" (manufacturing facility). You can also figure out:
1.Type of engine
2.Model of a vehicle
3.The limitations of the DMV
4.The number of drivers in this vehicle
The location of the car will be visible to you, and keeping in mind the code ensures your safety. The code can be viewed in the online database. The VIN is situated on various parts of the car to make it harder for thieves to steal, such as the first person's seat on the floor, the frame (often in trucks and SUVs), the spar, and other areas.
What happens if the VIN is intentionally harmed?
There are numerous circumstances that can result in VIN damage, but failing to have one will have unpleasant repercussions because it is illegal to intentionally harm a VIN in order to avoid going to jail or the police. You could receive a fine of up to 80,000 rubles and spend two years in jail. You might be held up on the road by a teacher.
Conclusion.
The VIN decoder may help to save your car from theft. But where can you check the car reality? This is why we exist– VIN decoders!
