A Sunday Afternoon in the Park
As I wrote in my previous post, one of the reasons I chose this neighbourhood as a place to live is its close access to nature because being close to the environment is a crucial element for living my life, which gives me physical and spiritual space to pause and get refreshed.
I spent the first Sunday in my neighbourhood at ‘The Woluwe Park (Le parc de Woluwe)’ and it was a perfect decision.
지난 번 글에서도 썼듯이 내가 이 동네에서 살기로 결심한 이유 중 하나는 자연과 가깝기 때문이다. 자연과 가까이 있다는 것은 내가 생활하는 데에 있어 중요한 요소로서 신체적, 정신적으로 휴식과 상쾌함을 주기 때문이다.
이 동네에 와서 첫 번째 일요일을 Woluwe 공원에서 보냈는데 아주 잘한 결정이었다.
As the 21st of September was ‘Sunday without Cars’ (you can see the sign ’21 Sept: Dimanche sans voiture’ on the photo), I was lucky even to avoid from cars.
9월 21일은 ‘차 없는 일요일’이어서 (사진에 불어로 ’9월 21일: 차 없는 일요일’이라고 되어 있다) 차가 없어 더 없이 좋았다.
It is said the conditions for bike riding in Belgium is improving, but normally it’s very hard to see children riding bicycles on the street.
벨기에에서 자전거 타는 상황이 점차 나아지고 있다고는 하지만 평소에 도로에서 자전거 타는 아이를 보기는 매우 어렵다.
This photo shows just one fourth of the field and I walked from one end to another on my bare feet, which felt so great!
이 사진에서는 들판의 4분의 1만 보이는 것이고 나는 끝에서 끝까지 맨발로 걸었다. 그 느낌은… 너무 좋았다!

I love going to parks. That’s something that I really miss in Europe. You’re talking about nice parks not just any parks.

Yes, they should be nice. I really need to discover more parks in Brussels.
