OBLIGATORY FIRST POST INTRODUCTION:
Hey guys. I’ve been a lurker on the boards for… wow, almost eight years now. I visit the boards at least three times per week, but I’ve never really felt like I’d be able to meaningfully contribute to the community here. But… you know what? I’ve given you eight years of my life*, it’s time I got something out of it! 
*Never mind the small fact that I never actually gave or contributed anything during that time… 
Anyway, a short introduction is in order. I’m a 21 year old college student from Texas. I was part of the pre-med program at my school, until I realized that chemistry and I don’t get along. Now I’m a German major/Bio minor, and I hope to go to grad school for applied linguistics once I graduate. I’m currently in my second semester abroad in Vienna, Austria.

In a few days I’m going to Brussels and Amsterdam for spring break. I’ve never been there, and I’m looking for some advice on what to do and what to see. I’ll have about four days in each location, and I’d like to see as much as I can during that time. I’m not very interested in art museums and the like, but I love architecture; especially anything Gothic. Other museums are great, but I AM on a student’s budget, so cheap is preferable.
