Two sinks are better than one...

Darren: Hey everyone, it’s Darren and Scott here. Greetings from rainy, dreary Brussels. Excuse me while I take sip of beer...

Scott: Ok well I’ll take over. Hi everyone. Pleasure to be here. I just finished some push-ups in our living room. Darren has been complaining since we arrived that his guns miss the Stephens Fitness Center - I thought I’d set a good example by doing a little exercise because, let’s face it, Darren’s gained about 15 pounds since spring began and his girlish figure is beginning to suffer.

DL: *Burp* yeah, I’m drinking Mardesous Brown right now, a delightful Abbey brown of a mild 8% alcohol – slightly acidic yet with a smooth finish. Great mouthfeel. Not good for the gut though – going to need some personal training from Carlos or Keiko when I get back. Dunks and I have been drinking a different Belgian drop literally every night we’ve been here. My favourite is Kasteel Brown which weighs in at a hefty 11% alcohol - and it’s like drinking candy – you know, party in your mouth and everyone’s invited type thing.

SD: So, uh, should we talk about our “policy” experiences? For instance, I’m doing this really interesting work at NATO, you know, world leaders...

DL: Bugger that, these guys don’t want to hear about force generation or interoperability, nor do they want to know that I’ve been looking at the wall that’s been built in Western Sahara – did you guys know that there is a wall the stretches across Western Sahara?

SD: Hmmm, and here I thought the wall was in Eastern Sahara. So what else should we talk about? Models?

DL: Why would we talk about models, Scott. We. Are. Good. Policy. Students. We’re here to learn. I mean jeez, even Ledio sounds like he learned something.

SD: That’s true. Well, we can say that we had dinner with Saskia’s sister and brother-in-law.

DL: Which was lovely.

SD: Indeed. And we went to Bruges for a day.

DL: Which was lovely.

SD: Indeed. And we have two bathroom sinks.

DL: Which is lovely.

SD: Indeed.
