Brussels Betty

In Atlanta, there is an area called Buckhead where a lot of rich people live. Most often the streets of Buckhead are filled with women driving around in their monster SUVs with stickers on the back from the nearby (and very expensive) private schools and country clubs. We like to call these women "Buckhead Bettys," and it is not in a nice way. Even though I think I am pretty down to earth, I can't help but feel like a Buckhead Betty here in Brussels when in one day I go from tennis practice to the women's club for lunch and then to my French lessons. I play tennis with very normal women, usually bring my lunch to the club so I don't have to buy it, and my french lessons only cost 96 euros for the whole semester, but still, as I hope into my car and throw my tennis raquet in the back, I can't help but laugh at myself.
