Brussels unexpected

Posted on October 7, 2013 by ipapancheva • Leave a comment

Monday evening. I stop for a drink with a friend at Place du Jeu de Balle. The square is a different place. Empty and full of parked cars. The whole neighbourhood has entered the dead season, which will end in three days, on Thursday. Luckily the bar next to the church is open. Chaff. I … Continue reading →

The Underland of Marolles

Posted on October 2, 2013 by ipapancheva • 2 Comments

In the fairy tales the hero jumps on a black ram who would take him to the Underland. There he experiences different challenges or finds magical objects which would then help him to go back to the Upperland (again on the back of a ram but this time, for a change, a white one), triumphs … Continue reading →

Double S-miracle: Summer and Spirito

Posted on July 21, 2013 by ipapancheva • Leave a comment

Miracle 1 – Summer Summer arrived on a Friday, two weeks ago, around 7H30 pm. As it usually happens here, it came suddenly, did not excuse for its long absence and immediately, with a careless gesture, took off my leggings and jacket. An hour later I was going out for my first 2013 Brussels summer … Continue reading →

Eye Candy or The Secrets of Brussels

Posted on June 8, 2013 by ipapancheva • 2 Comments

Brussels is a city which keeps its secrets well from those who are not really open and determined to discover the world behind its gray-institutional-glassy surface. But for those who are eager to explore it, it generously offers all sorts of entertainment and surprises. I have developed the habit of checking http://www.agenda.be every weekend when … Continue reading →

The Tree of Life in Matonge

Posted on January 20, 2013 by ipapancheva • Leave a comment

The African quarter. I have always liked its colourness and vibe. It’s lively and authentic. When my Sudanese friend visited me to Brussels a few years ago and I took him there, he exclaimed: “This is like Africa here”. If he says so, it must be the case. And indeed strolling around one crosses streets … Continue reading →

My Very Private Brussels

Posted on January 9, 2013 by ipapancheva • 2 Comments

Brussels appears right in the beginning of my novel Annabel (2010, Janet 45). The plot does not take place here but in Amsterdam. Nevertheless I am choosing to start my blogging year with the following extract: “This story starts in my attic studio apartment in Brussels. My first apartment after a series of rooms of … Continue reading →

Spirito Martini – А Church for Selected Ones

Posted on November 27, 2012 by ipapancheva • Leave a comment

On Friday night I decided to finally try out Spirito Martini club. It apparently was very popular and very close to my place. The feedback I had got about it was contradictory however covering the love-hate range. A friend said: “If you are going there, I am not coming. I don’t like the people…not professionals, … Continue reading →

Jana’s Seasonal Supper

Posted on November 18, 2012 by ipapancheva • Leave a comment

Last night I joined Jana’s Seasonal Supper at the Urban Ecology Centre . It is a monthly initiative in which visitors cook and eat together vegetarian food in exchange for a donation to support the ecological initiatives of the Centre. It was my first time and I was very pleasantly surprised by the Centre’s atmosphere. It is a cozy and artistic … Continue reading →
