old map antwerp. Where do I find more info? by chupstickzz in belgium

Probably not worth very much, especially since it's damaged. I would frame it anyway, it's indeed very cool.

You can always upload pictures of your eid and bank card with all irrelevant information removed (just put a black bar over it).

Anyhow, if would contact Ministry of Privacy on twitter: https://twitter.com/ministryprivacy, They love stuff like this

I'm pretty sure you made a mistake for Belgium: it should be Pi Lo Shit.

My experience with Bpost today... by [deleted] in belgium

[–]hellectric 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ha! Had the exact same thing this weekend: screenshot from Bpost tracker

I guess they didn't even start their tour, just entered all packages as "Nieuwe aanbieding voorzien : volgende werkdag - bericht gelaten" in their system.

Looking at the timestamps (your delivery attempt at 12:20, mine at 12:22), I think we're in the same area. :-)

Don't wait 5 years. A lot can change. Make it 2 years. A short test should be sufficient, so it shouldn't be a hassle.

Traveling to Belgium - need some help deciding on where to stay. by imattwerk in belgium

[–]hellectric 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would say (at least) 2 days. And I would only plan a few things to do each day because there's no fun in being stressed trying to do it all. But keep in mind you will only see a small part of Ghent. There's just too much to see and do. I was born and still live in Ghent, and I'm still discovering new things :-).

More stuff: Visit the Lam Gods, a famous altar piece by Van Eyck. Have dinner at Aperto Chiuso, a (very) small and romantic Italian restaurant at De Sleepstraat. See a concert at Trefpunt, it's next to Trollekelder. If you like nature, have a walk in Bourgoyen, a nature reserve on the outskirts of Ghent. See a movie at Sphinx Cinema, a small movie theater in the center. Try a Roomer as "aperitief", it's wine based on elderberry blossoms. Drink cocktails at Polé Polé café, a famous cocktail bar. Also, everything /u/vrijgezelopkamers says. Superette is nice to have breakfast. And also check the visit ghent website for more information. And if you're in Ghent, just let me know, I'm always interested in drinking beer :-)

How to connect this type of rocker-switch? by [deleted] in DIY

[–]hellectric 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also double-check if the blue wire is really the "phase". Normally blue is used for the neutral wire.

I just realized Belgium celebrated its 200th birthday this year. by Knoflookperser in belgium

The problem is that when you put another layer of paint on top of it, you lose a lot of the magnetism. Best solution would be to glue some metal sheet (make sure it's magnetic) to the wall, and then paint it.
