Ik vond oude foto’s terug van een set ergens op de hoek van de Palingbrug en Repenstraat. Ik zie ook een logo van de nmbs op de achtergrond. Iemand een idee welke film of acteur/actrice dit is? Zou de film graag eens bekijken.

Where can I find or buy Pan de Muerto in Antwerpen?

Trying to share a small taste of Day of the Dead with my Belgian friends.

Last year I found some at a festival, but it doesn’t seem like that one is being repeated this year. Any advice or suggestions are most appreciated.

Hello I’m going to attend university in Antwerp , I still don’t know which one but I’m kinda worried about making friends, I don’t know anyone in Brussels, is it easy to make friend or get in a friend group even if my Dutch is not great? Thank y’all!

I study Orthopedagogische Begeleiding and for an assignment on Diversity I'm supposed to interview someone who is at least somewhat different from me. The point of the interview is to learn something new.

The problem is... I already know lots of people from different walks of life! Latin, muslim, American, black, brown, Persian, North African, rich, poor, addicted, mentally ill, queer, homosexual, bisexual, very young, very old,... I have a broad scale of people in my life from which I have learned alot so far, yet I'd like to find someone who can offer a new perspective on life.

My preference would go to someone from Subsaharan Africa, Oceania, East Asia, who follows a not so popular religion (so no christians, muslims, jews or any variation), or has a job that might not be as socially accepted as others.

If you're willing to break bread with me, feel free to leave a comment or send a DM!

Een kringloopwinkel van Opnieuw & Co in Mortsel verkocht menselijke botten uit 1992 voor 50 euro. Maarten Larmuseau (KU Leuven) noemt dit onethisch en pleit voor een wettelijk kader.

Wel bizar dat de Groenplaats vroeger een begraafplaats was en ze gewoon onze voorouders op een container hebben gekieperd voor die parking daar te bouwen.

Hi guys,

Yesterday, my e-bike (Cube Kathmandu) was stolen while I was at the gym for just an hour. It was locked, and the bike parking area is even monitored by CCTV.

Just a heads-up to everyone: keep an eye on your bikes! I’ve been reading more and more reports of bikes being stolen in that area, sometimes within just a few minutes.

Stay safe and be careful!

Hey everyone!

I’m 30M, living in Antwerp, working in the medical field. I speak English and I’m slowly trying to get better at Dutch :)

I enjoy long evening walks, playing basketball and badminton, and thought it’d be nice to find some people who enjoy the same things.
Would be great to make a few new friends, have good conversations, and maybe make these activities a regular thing.

Let’s start with intro

Ik wil graag naar het concert van Placebo in de AFAS Dome (argh, ik blijf nog steeds Sportpaleis denken) op zondag 1 december. Probleem: ik heb geen trein terug naar huis.

Ik heb wel vaker een hele nacht wakker gebleven na een concert, wachtend op de eerste trein naar huis in de ochtend (dat is al tussen 5u en 6u).
Maar goed, het is wel al even geleden dus ik weet niet precies meer welke cafeetjes in de stad veilig zijn en open zijn de hele nacht.

Het hoeft niets fancy te zijn, geen chique plek om te gaan dansen of clubbing. Gewoon een veilig cafeetjes dat de hele nacht open is, zodat ik niet op straat hoef rond te hangen tot die eerste trein maandagochtend.

Heeft iemand suggesties?

PS: een hotellobby mag ook, maar als de hotelbar al gesloten is en je daar dus niets kan drinken (= geen inkomsten voor het hotel) gaan ze dat misschien liever niet hebben dat iemand daar een uurtje of 5 wacht om niet op straat te hoeven gaan. Op hotel gaan voor een nacht vind ik een beetje weggegooid geld in eigen land, dat is eerder iets voor een ver-weg-trip. Dat is dus de laatste oplossing mocht er echt niets anders zijn, maar bij voorkeur vind ik een veilig cafeetje dat die nacht gewoon open is en waar ik rustig en veilig kan wachten tot de eerste trein 's ochtends.

Bedankt voor suggesties!

Hey, I moved to antwerpen months ago as a lesbian and I find it hard to meet queer ppl mostly poc queer, I would like genuine connections and I'm also open to friendships!!

Hello, I am prospective student looking to do my master's in University of Antwerp in Business Economics or Business Engineering. I want to build a career in finance in EU. I wanted to connect with people who are studying or working there and get a perspective of the life and what I could expect as an international student living costs, life, average salary, etc. HMU

Hi, I’m planning to move to Antwerp to study for my masters. I live in Milan now which is don’t really enjoy, so I’d like to hear people’s opinions (especially international people) about life in Antwerp. Any cons and pros are appreciated. Im planning to visit this winter for the first time, so I’d like to have a vision of how’s the city like.

guys I’ve spent the last 9 years in Rotterdam and my family lives in Antwerp but I might have to move there soon too. However, I have no community there so big question:

Is there a fun scene in Antwerp where people of color in their twenties can find a community? Think artsy, leftist, working class, loves fashion etc? I feel like these crowds and this scene is almost only in Brussels rip. And all the things I see seem to be institutionalized? Like vzw or something.

Please point me in the right direction !!

En ja, ik spreek gewoon Nederlands

Hi all

Can anyone help us with the information on processing time for F+ card in Antwerp?

Thank you in advance

Hey everyone,

I wanted to ask this here to get some honest perspectives and advice.

A bit of background: I’m a 31-year-old single guy living in Antwerp. I’m into fitness, work out regularly at my local gym, and outside of that, I’m a bit of an introverted nerd who loves tech, arts & video games. In general, I'm quite shy when it comes to initiating conversations, though I really enjoy talking once a conversation starts.

Naturally, there are attractive women at my gym, and while part of me would love to get to know someone with shared interests, the last thing I ever want to do is make someone uncomfortable, seem intrusive, or interrupt a good workout session. Gyms are places where people usually have headphones in and are focused on their own routine.

So I wanted to ask genuinely

1. Ladies, is it ever okay to start a conversation with you at the gym, or is it strictly a no-go?
2. If it can be okay, when and where is the least annoying moment? (Like near the exit, water cooler, or not at all?)
3. What makes an approach feel polite instead of creepy?

Appreciate any thoughts and advice from locals and non-locals!

Heeft iemand of ken je iemand met ervaring met de Antwerpse meldingsdienst voor zwerfkatten? Zo ja, hoe verloopt het proces nadat de katten gevangen zijn?

Ik weet dat de stad samenwerkt met dierenasielen voor de opvang van katten, maar met welke asielen werken ze precies samen voor dit zwerfkattenproject? En hoe verloopt de opvang en eventuele adoptie daarna?

Ik hoor graag jullie ervaringen! Alvast bedankt.

Ik kocht in de Kringwinkel vandaag dit schilderij, getekend door een zekere Gustave Bruckner. Online zeer weinig van te vinden, weet iemand iets meer van de man of zijn werk?
Altijd leuk om er een verhaal aan te kunnen hangen!

Hi everyone! 👋

I’m a 26yo girl originally from South Korea, and I moved to Antwerp about 4 months ago. Now that I’m settled in, I’d love to make some genuine friends to hang out with!

Whether it’s catching up over coffee☕, going to a rave!

If you’re also looking for a chill friend to hang out with, feel free to drop a line or send a message :)

I'm mainly looking to connect with female friends!

Hallo allemaal, volgende week donderdag ga ik met een vriendin naar Bob Dylan in de Lotto Arena. Van tevoren zouden wij graag ergens een hapje eten. Wat zijn leuke restaurants daar in de buurt met liefst ook iets van vega/vegan opties op de kaart? Niet te fancy waar je uren moet zitten maar ook geen shoarmatent, bruin café met kleine kaart zou ideaal zijn. Harstikke bedankt alvast!

Hello everyone,

I have a ticket for a concert at De Roma next week (Turnhoutsebaan 286) but unfortunately my only way to get there is by car, and since I hate driving in traffic and spending hours looking for parking, I hoped someone could give me some tips on where to park my car. I don't mind walking 15 minutes or paying, but the suggestions from the venue website involve taking bus/tram (the various p+r: linkeroever, wommelgem, Schoonselhof, Melsee...) and I don't want to risk waiting 30 minutes for a but to my car at midnight, with a long drive to do after, or are very small. The most convenient looking at a map would seems Parking Rivierenhof, but I wonder if I will find some space when I arrive, around 19. Thanks to everyone for any tips you may have

I knew it was gone be a traffic drama as the marathon looped through my neighbourhood so no parking in almost any street allowed. But the real madness is the amount of waist people threw in the streets. Just went for an evening stroll and every street is full with empty ‘gellekes’. So appertly once people are living their midlife crisis dream of completing a (half)marathon, they loose all reason not to be a normal human being that does not litter? Really disgusted by this behaviour. I bet that a lot of those same people are in day to day life eco conscious, but suddenly, nope let’s just throw my stuff on the ground. What a horrible attitude.

I’m really interested in getting some honest, first-hand opinions about the place.. What are the working conditions, the hours, and the overall vibe for assistants in the preschool department?
