Hello everybody.
My name is Ana and I am a marine biologist. I'm currently doing my PhD in Brussels, Belgium.
I love to travel and now I could have the opportunity to explore Antarctica!!!! So, I'm participating in a contest organized by Quarck Expeditions called BLOG YOUR WAY TO ANTARCTICA. If you're interested in helping me, please visit "my page" and if you feel like it, vote for me!

Also, I'm counting on you to help me spread the word: tell your friends, colleagues, neighbours... you name it!
Cheers and thanks everybody in advance!

A marine biologist doing a PHD in brussels? LOL.
Where are you doing your phd? VUB?
Seems strange to come to belgium for such thing.
Nothing much "marine" in belgium , except for the nordsea.
I am from belgium too btw.
It's really amazing! But there's so many marine labs in Belgium (even in Mons, so far from the sea... and they work with tropical corals!!!!!) I'm actually in ULB. But I love Brussels... the weather is a bit strange... however you really have great CHOCOLATESSSSSS!!!!!

Not to mention beer and the Belgian frites.....thought you'd be in the french side....welcome to the forum Ana C 
...and good luck with the blogging..
Thank you!
The frites are fantastic as well! And, living in Brussels also gives me the opportunity taste food from everywhere, since it's such an international city. This variety is just great!
Cheers

Ah I see, ULB, thats the french version of the VUB 
Ah, there are many marine labs in belgium? Lol, sounds trange, I did not know that!
Very interesting.
At what lab are you working then? Or you are only working for the university?
And Belgian weather, well yeah, you gotta be belgian to love it 
And you havent tasted a belgian waffle then? You are in brussel, you should then try the Brussel waffle.
Is the flower carpet festival at grand place already over? That one's really fantastic...and the weather...ppfftt...pls..don't talk about the weather...it's very mild over there, eh? So Ana C, do you need to make everyday entries to your blog to win or would it just be whoever gets the most vote?
1. I'm at the BIOMAR, from ULB. I don't like waffles, sorry! But the cafe Perroque has a wonderful choco cake!
2. The person who has more votes wins... And people can vote one time per valid email.
The festival is every 2 years. It was this year... so now only in 2011! And it only lasts a few days, because the flowers die after that. But it's beautiful, worth to be seen.
Cheers
