Sports bar by StephanDK
Hey, I'm moving to Brussels in a few weeks and was wondering if anyone knew of any place where I might be able to watch american football? Preferably in a bar setting. Thanks
Yeah Fatboys, but I'm trying to figure out a way to watch College football games also. I want to my school's team instead of whatever it is they have on at the time. Read More

Hello, I have been in Belgium for 3 days and I am in dire need of a super large, american cup of java! Where can I find it in Brussels? Also, just as when I lived in the US I always saw those ethnic mini-markets, I was wondering if there's ...
Heid, what part of carrefour has these items? You have my curiosity, I work right next to the store so I have to go there to get food for lunch, if I don't bring my own. Read More
Weekly meet up for drinks? by Mayo5
I'm guessing there will be little response to this, but does anyone have any interest for a weekly meet up at a different bar. Something casual, fun, and relaxing. We could try a new bar in a different area each week, and just keep rotating? ...

I have not started with Dutch yet, as I mostly hear and use French here; but I will try Flemmish/Dutch once I can get conversational with French. My remark, was more of a crass/sarcastic comment. I have a terrible sense of humor. Yes, Gent is a ... Read More

Moving to Brussels - Apartment/Area Advice by Chris Griffith
Hi Everyone, I am very excited to be moving to Brussels from the U.S. in August for 6 months. I have only been to Brussels for a week before so I am not very familiar with the area. Are there certain areas I should avoid when searching for an ...
I live in Ixelles, and it's a great area for the most part. Wish I could moved closer towards Place Luxe to be honest though. Etterbeek, Ixelles, Uccle are great places to live in and always something interesting to do. This is also depends on how ... Read More
Soccer. by adventurous
Anyone know of a weekly soccer game this summer in and around Brussels? Trying to stay fit.
Hi Adventurous, We play at the University of Brussels. It's the worst surface I've ever played on in my life. The last game for us is this week, then they are closing for a few months to renovate. It's a concerte surface, with a thin layer of ... Read More

Will be living in Brussels May 30-July31 by jberglund
Hey! I'm getting ready to travel to Brussels in a few weeks but am looking for a place to live! I'd really like to find a group of people who want to travel and sightsee on weekends. Let me know if you can help me out :)
A runaway Hawkeye? :) Jb, I would recommend appartager.be they have quite a few short term flats/rooms available. That would be the easiest, IMO. Some of those will allow you to pay by the day/weekend. There's also couchsurfing.com as well. It ... Read More
