The chips are in everything! But it’s good cause they’re much easier to use worldwide then the US ones without the chip. If you get a identity card at your local town hall it’ll probably have a chip too, with all your info on it (address, nationality, etc.)

Oh and the month tram/bus/metro pass that needs a photo is strange. If I get one I have to show ID that proves who I am but they give me the pass right away and basically it’s good for taking all the public transport except the trains. You may want to double check though because I’m in Flanders and you’re in Brabant so the public transport system is slightly different.

I’m so sorry that your coat was left behind, but this is a great excuse to buy a new warm one that is from Belgium. I’m so impressed that you’ve learned to get around on the public transportation, and taken care of your bank and phone. It would take me weeks to figure all that out. I love the photos. Send lots. Check your e-mail from me.

We’ll pick up Mary tomorrow on our way to Tulsa. John spent the night with us & drove Poke’s car there.
