To be honest, I have no idea myself ... I try to watch the news as much as I can, I visit the news website every 30 minutes for live updates, and I still don't get it.
I have been getting quite a few messages from people, in public and private telling me to stay safe.
It's terrible what has happened in Paris, and everywhere else in the world these "un-humans" are terrorising everyone.
As for me, I am not near Brussels, so I'm fine :) It's really sweet of the people who do think of me.
It is true, half of the terrorists that were involved in Paris, were living in Belgium.
In a risk-town, which has been for years, so I don't understand how they could have not seen this coming.
The guy they are looking for now, actually has a house a few houses from an old school-mate of mine, which does make it scary.
He was having a drink in a bar on his street, and once again the police made them stay inside as they were doing another sweep of the street, trying to catch this 1 guy. Instead they managed to arrest some others.
I myself dodged the bomb-alarm that happened in Antwerp city last Tuesday. I had just left the exact spot going home.
It's a shame these false bomb-alarms go out at least twice a day now, just someone who needs to get attention and feel good about themselves, while creating panic. Sad sad person if you life of things like this. Pathetic.
Because I do believe some of the alerts have got nothing to do with the actual terrorists, just people who wanna feel "special".
I even went to Disneyland Paris on Wednesday + Thursday. Yes, more security, but checking people was a hoot really, and very discriminating (at Disney only man got scanned with a handscanner, not the woman).
Brussels is on lock-down, stores are closed, schools are closed, subways are closed.
I guess they are getting what they wanted. Total panic. Though, us Belgians, we're a very calm and sober people, hehe, so we are dealing with it very calmly.
Never thought they'd give a negative travel advice for Belgium. Such a small and "stupid" country.
I hope they catch this guy very soon, as they always seem to just miss him.
I'm starting to feel ashamed that they all lived here. But I feel good knowing that everything the police and army is doing to actually catch him, and everyone else who has something to do with IS.
But yeah ... I'm fine ;)
