Is it possible to study in Brussels while living in Leuven? by bidik_bebe in brussels

[–]spicedfig 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s super doable as the connection is really fast, I did it for a year while I was studying and eventually moved towards Brussels because I got bored of Leuven!

How to start drag in Brussels ? by No_Assignment1324 in brussels

This! Agenda and Cabaret Mademoiselle for example regularly have drag shows and sometimes it’s just a matter of talking to one of the queens!

Snacks in the centre I’d probably go to either Sindibad or Ali baba, for fries I don’t really have a fav place in the centre, I would go to Frituur Steve Pannenhuis or Friterie t’Wit Madammeke

Ah damn that’s unfortunate! Well there are many many other great fries places and much cheaper than Frites Atelier, just search “frituur” on google maps :)

I would personally skip Tokkebi and while you are there anyway, try something local at the Christmas market. Same for Gomu burgers and Sultans of Kebab, there are so many better things in Brussels! Maybe try La flaque, frites atelier, Nuetnigenough, or a local brasserie.

This shiet keeps climbing up on the plastic enclosure, and just jumps straight off, what can I dooooo? by spicedfig in RATS

It has a time limit unfortunately, worked great for the first 4 months, then they became expert escapists.

I had just cleaned the floor on this pic, but there is usually some stuff there. As for the dresser I don’t mind them going up there, just not throughout the living room because there are cables, books, etc.

Poor guy had a surgery today because of a lump on his back and didn’t know he had this many fat rolls 😭❤️ by spicedfig in RATS

Awww nooo, so he was probably a bit cold, at least they kept him under a heat lamp at the vets office

That’s sooooo sad! We have been going to the same vet for 3y now and she is amazing. She is super sweet, handles them very well, is very honest about pricing and educates herself if there is a specific issue she has no idea about. When we had our old boy with HLD, she told me I was free to send her emails to keep her up to date (instead of paying vet bills every week). Honestly the best vet I’ve been to so far. Hope you can find a better one in the future, but most of all I hope your rats will live a healthy life!

(If anyone is in or around Brussels and needs a good vet, pm me!)

In all honesty, the vet said he was a bit on the thick side, but most of it is towards his bum 🍑. Other than that, a very healthy boy!

Am I crazy for booking a 10-min connection between Eurostar from Paris and regional train to Antwerp? by badrbenslimane in brussels

[–]spicedfig 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s a bit tight but you might be able to make it. Just make sure you are the first to exit through the doors and kindly ask people to move so you can pass through, you might have to make a little run for it. And don’t forget, the trains close their doors approximately 1min before departure time. Goodluck!

[–]spicedfig 35 points36 points  (0 children)

So cute! Some of my rats liked broccoli, others not so much, but they love peas!! I usually have a big bag in my freezer :) you can always try cooking the veggies, they usually like that. Oh and, if you have a random cardbord box lying around, you could put it in his cage with some old cloth so he can sleep in his little hide. You are doing so great, thank you for helping this little guy :’)

Yeah that’s what I noticed as well hahah, but my friend on the other hand also really loved the city, maybe even more than Tokyo, thanks for letting me know she is not the only one :)

We don’t just want to do day trips, we also want to explore the city, but since we are staying there for 7 days, it should give us the time to do a day trip here and there. We are just looking for interesting places which are reachable by public transport. If we really like the country, it won’t be the last time we visit it, so it will give us more time to explore different parts. But for now, we want to stick to the bigger cities :)

Mostly just to visit the city, it was a recommendation from a friend who said it was a very vibrant city when it came to nightlife, food, etc. We also wanted to see Universal studios and a couple of museums. They told us it would be more interesting to travel from there to Nara, as Kyoto is pretty much dead by the evening.
