Hey everyone,

Found a second-hand car I’m interested in, but I’d like to have it checked before buying. Came across myautocheck.be. Has anyone heard of it before or had any experience with it? Is it trustworthy?

Hello,

I'm really interested in a coat like that, in wool.

Any places to buy it in Brussels?

Enjoy your evening.

I’m pregnant with my first child. I’ve been offered a spot in an ONE creche. But the place isn’t until September, and I go back to work in May so it’s not ideal. But I’m worried I won’t get anything else. If I say yes to this will I then be off the list for all other ONE creches? I can’t afford private.

Hello😊would you have any suggestions for a restaurant in Brussels to celebrate my 30th birthday? I can also go outside Brussels if really worth it . Thank you !

Which route would you suggest for this year? It is a nice event but tough to make the right choices as i always ended up waiting in the cold dor hours then not getting into the ones i picked cause it was too late
Thanks!!

Any idea for a nice place for birthday drinks for around 15-25 people? I dont want a full area to myself, just a couple tables in a nice/ fun bar on the side/ in the corner for my people to stand around, have a couple of beers and talk.

I was thinkig something like le schmeet (but they have some bad reviews that they cancel last minute on reservations for big groups) or frit cocq (upstairs, but they dont reply). any other ideas for a similar vibe?

Ideas here in the sub are either not a similar vibe, an extra room or are already closed down

Dear all,

I’m not sure whether this is the right sub for this question, I’m also not sure how to properly describe this situation.

I’m looking for advice regarding my current living situation. I’m 23 years old, I work at 80% capacity (70% as of next month) while pursuing an MSc in evening classes. I live with my father, but our home situation is becoming too unsafe.

To keep it short, my dad is psychologically very abusive, and has been so my entire life. Lately, his behaviour has been getting out of control, and our fights are now physical. I’m looking to move out asap, which feels impossible because housing prices in Brussels are incredibly high.

Because I’m a studying, I qualify for student housing. However, I have two cats, which my father has been threatening me with (i.e. he threatens to throw them out). To my knowledge, dorms generally do not allow any pets.

I make around 2.1k net today at 80% capacity and because I do not have a drivers license, it would be better for me to remain in Brussels.

I’m not looking for any monetary support, just genuine advice on what to do next.

My question for you is the following:
1) what are my options right now? What can I do in the event that my dad does actually throw my cats out?
2) with a net income of 2.1k, how much rent can I actually afford in Brussels without burning through my savings or living paycheck to paycheck ?
3) are there any cohousing/dorms that do actually allow for pets?

Thank you all in advance for your support. I’m happy to give some extra context or answer any questions.

Hello everyone,

I am looking for a car ride from Brussels to Strasbourg on Monday morning-early afternoon. Anyone willing to help me with this?

Thanks in advance.

Hi everyone,
I’m looking for some advice from people who have gone through the F card process in Belgium.
My wife applied for her F card around 3 months ago through family reunification. We are legally married, and she is living with me at my address in Belgium.
She received her Annex 19ter (Bijlage 19ter) and her orange card. The police residence check was completed during the first week, and everything went positively. She is living with me, and there have been no problems with the residence check.
It has now been around 3 months since her application, and we are wondering how much longer it might take.
I have a few questions:
How long did you wait to receive your F card after the police check?
Does the Immigration Office still need to make a decision, even if the police check was positive?
Is it possible to receive the F card earlier than the usual 6-month period?
Will we receive a letter from the municipality when the card is ready, or do we need to contact them ourselves?
I would really appreciate hearing about other people’s experiences, especially anyone who applied through family reunification in Belgium.
Thanks in advance!

Hello everyone, I can't seem to get out of my running injury after marathon training. After almost two years it is better, but not gone.

I have made every exam under the sun to no avail, seen 4 sports doctors, 2 orthopedic doctors, a podologyst and 4 physio's. While I'm sure that they are all knowledgeable I always felt I wasn't listened to or paid particular attention, and specially with the physio's I really felt they were not analysing my movement patterns as they should.

So I'm wondering if I should give it another try, so I'm looking for an exceptional life saver holistic physio if there is one as such.

Thank you!

Hi all

Does anyone know where I could find horse chestnuts around the city or in a park? I know I've seen these trees all over (their blossoms are lovely in the spring!), but of course now I can't recall where specifically. I would like to use them for a craft project with kids :)

TIA!

I am out of a longer relationship and now am slowly (re-)discovering my sexual side. I really want to use this time of being single to make expiriences and push my boundries and find fun connections with other humans (aka live my slut era haha). I have downloaded feeld and I have started to make some really gooood experiences. But now my problem: all my friends (I am F28) are very very vanilla. They dont judge me and i can def share "hey i had a stranger come over last night to fuck me" but then they also dont really understand it and are all in happy cosy cute relationships. I really want people to share this crazy expierence with, who might go trough something similar or who wnt to share their own gossip. Any ideas where to find that either online, here on reddit or in person?

Edit because I should have been more specific haha: I am mostly looking for women to exchange over this. As a straight women myself, its not horny men that I am lacking :D

Please bear with me 😭 I noticed that our laundry doesn’t smell fresh whether it’s air dried or machine dried. It would smell like nothing, or worse— it would smell damp. I have tried using different settings in our washing machine plus higher doses of detergent and fabric conditioner but it’s the same 😭

Please recommend a product that would make them smell fresh (not perfumed) 🤞

Refurbishment works are underway on the canopy at Rogier in Brussels! It’s already looking much better 🤩

I’m planning to celebrate my birthday with around 8 friends and I’m looking for a nice, chill bar in Brussels.
Ideally, somewhere cosy and casual, not too loud or expensive, where we can sit together, have some drinks and chat comfortably.

Le Petit Canon seems nice but I don’t know if it will be easy to find a table at the weekend.

Any recommendations? Thanks! 😊

Hi All,

To what service can I reach out?

In my vicinity a lot of parking spaces have disappeared.

To sum up in the space of 2 years they have taken;
- 4 more spaces for Cambio
- 4 spaces occupied by the terrace of a bar
- 1 extra handicap spot (that’s permanently empty, and also import to have)
- 4 spaces occupied by large bike racks (not on the corner of the street where you can’t park any way)

I feel it’s getting a little too concentrated around my area and it’s becoming incredibly hard to park and before anyone suggests take public transport, i drive over 50K Km’s a year and besides the safety, sanity and punctuality of the public transport isn’t on par with our peers.

Does anyone have suggestions?

quick question to see if anyone here is into lo fi house from a pretty good record and also firstly a youtube channel from 2017

i never been to the brasserie but i love their beers and i'm looking fwd to the night

anyone else ?

My husband is thinking of offering delivery, but isn't sure where to start and which one is more popular atm around Brussels.

Obviously I get that if you have a good deal or coupons on one of them, you'll use that one, but which one is your go to? The one you immediately opt for when you want to order food

Hello,

In case of a delay from the migration office and that the residence card is expired in between, what will happen to the bank account? Will it be frozen? Blocked? Will the person still be able to access his money ?

Are all banks operating the same of each has its own rules ?

Hello I have a flight early in the morning and, since I live not far from the airport, I was thinking about cycling there.

I cannot register on time for the paying parking spot so I'll have to use the free one.

I was wondering if some of you have already done that.

Is the free bike park open at 4:30 am? Do you recommend doing that or is it better to just take an Uber?

I have a personal mobib (STIB) on which I have an abonnement for Brussels. I recently bought one for Le Tec from the kiosk (Le Tec SELF?) and tried using it but it was declined. Do I need to register the card or something?
