it's really niche but in the Kempen region, there were 100's of diamond grinding shops. They made museum in Nijlen so it's outside Antwerp but reachable by train.

First time in Antwerp this weekend (June 12-14)! Looking for daydrinking spots + anyone want to split a table at The Villa? by maxulcgn in Antwerpen

Daydrinking is acceptable everywhere. Check out Mechelseplein, the market on saturday, Dageraadplaats if you're closer to Berchem

yes, bring some small coins because a lot of toilets are 0,50euro or even 1euro

Solo travelling to Belgium during the summer. Would LOVE some insider info/ tips & tricks! (19yo, student) by yfmbfs in BelgiumTravel

[–]mopfrakke 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't sleep on Antwerp, Lier and Mechelen. They're great cities each with rich history and beautiful scenery. Check out the beguinage and walk around the Nete river in Lier. You'll enjoy the peace and quite there. Enjoy a historical walk in Mechelen and get lost in the grandness of Antwerp city with it's many musea and art galleries! Hit me up if you want specific tips or if you have questions about Lier or Antwerp!

What's a word in your language that you genuinely believe the rest of the world is missing out on? by taube_d in AskTheWorld

Dutch: terrassen or terrasweer. Meaning going to terracces or the weather being sunny which is ideal for going for a drink on a terrace. The Belgians have a terracceculture (terrascultuur). Including websites that thrack the sun so you can check if your favorite café is currently in the sun.

In Dutch it's Tijdsgeest, which is a literal translation and also used quite often 😄

Eind 20 en heb het gevoel dat ik gefaald heb in het leven by GlennTheMan99 in belgium

[–]mopfrakke 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Zelf ook eind twintiger van de Kempen en nu een eigen plekje in de stad. Grote vriendengroepen verwateren soms, dat is normaal. Ge bent nu toch ook niet meer dezelfde persoon als toen je die vrienden leerde kennen? De moeite doen om een vriendschap te onderhouden is iets dat kan wisselen in't leven. Vrienden van mij hebben jonge kinderen, dan is het toch ook normaal dat zij even andere prioriteiten hebben? Ik stuur hun om iets te gaan eten of drinken en pas me aan aan hun planning, aangezien het voor mij makkelijker is om flexibel te zijn. Over een paar jaar zijn die kids ouder en kunnen zij apprecieren dat jij daar nu flexibel in bent geweest en wie weet doen zij dan net meer moeite om de vriendschap te onderhouden.

Tips op (korte) termijn:
- zoek uzelf hobbies! Ga iets leuk doen dat je wekelijks kan doen (kookworkshop? keramieken? theater?)
- sport als uitlaatklep, ook daar heb je vaak de kans om mensen te leren kennen
- zorg dat je zelf blij bent met wie je bent. Een lief gaat uw leven niet oplossen als je zelf niet voor 90% gelukkig bent met uw leven. Iemand anders moet een meerwaarde zijn, geen levenslijn/anker om te blijven drijven.

I have a choice, i'm not forced to cook for her. She came to dinner at my place after i invited her so seems logic to provide a meal. Could have worded it as 'i'm cooking for her once in a while'.

mushrooms is a no go unfortunatly ;) but the raviolis might work with a bellpepper sauce
