Always welcome!
And I did-! Tho it was a close thing, lolol!
Apparently there was an incident with the trains in Ghent, which caused a bunch of trains to change tracks... so I got on (what I thought) was the right train, only to all of a sudden hear the announcer say it was stopping in Brussels... WHERE MY ORIGINAL TRAIN WASN'T SUPPOSED TO MAKE A STOP.
Turns out that due to delays and track changes, I'd gotten on a wrong train. Luckily I noticed in time and managed to switch over to a train heading in the right direction in Brussels. So while it took me an additional hour to make it home, at least I got there safely.
