Yes I was living in Putte. I hope you do go; I would love to see it again. I think we were staying of the street that makes up to border with Belgium, but I am not 100% sure. I remember walking on it for sure because I was so excited to be able to do that. The thatched roofs were so cool to me and I hope they are still there.
At that time I was working for my friend's Uncle. He gave her the job for 2 years, but she was lonely and he let her bring a friend back on her first trip home to Canada where she and I went to high school together. I was 19 and stayed for a year.
But I was also in all of those other places I mentioned as well as Waldfeucht Germany and Halluin France. Plus we took vacations to other places constantly and the whole year was kind of a blur. We were taking messages and deliveries of things like cigarettes and imported foods like cheese and truffles.
We rotated through these towns and I have come to believe the whole thing was illegal and hence why were working in borders areas lol. I did not care because they were rich and I was having fun.
Now I am in KL broke as a joke and trying to help obese people lose weight with natural methods like I did eight tears ago. I coach, write books, have affiliate sales, blog and anything else I can think of to keep going. But my fat people want to stay fat and therefore I do not make much money. So I am here for the cheap and easy life :)
