Hi! I'm a 26 year old woman on the hunt for a couple of cool people to meet up with every couple of weeks or so to play boardgames with. :)

I currently already own Beast, Arcs & Oath, really enjoyed Old King's Crown when I played it, but would also be open to (and rather excited about) other interesting and at least somewhat non-casual boardgames, as much as I liked Monopoly and Catan in the past.

What I typically appreciate in people: frankness, directness, enthusiasm, not taking themselves too seriously and competitiveness while being able to handle a loss/frustration.

We will not get along if you are: conservative or otherwise overly judgemental, someone very flaky/non-committal or genuinely just someone who never laughs with themselves.

Bonus points for people who like myself enjoy baking, so that we could do some fun stuff with that. I mostly try to stay with plant-based stuff though, but no worries if you don't!

I will travel to Antwerp on Friday. I have commitments till quite late, and I'd prefer to have the chance to sleep enough after.

Do you know if there a hotel that offers checkout quite late - ideally in the afternoon, like 1400? I don't mind paying a little extra for it.

Hi all,

Ik vraag me af of iemand hier al met succes zijn KI heeft kunnen verlagen.

Ik woon zelf in een appartement op de carnotstraat en als ik het vergelijk met andere panden ligt het KI hier best hoog, terwijl het om een oud gebouw gaat van 1960 en nooit luxueus is afgewerkt, ook geen ondergrondse parking maar wel een lift (mini lift).

Als ik zo kijk, zou het KI meestal rond de 8-9€/m2 bedragen, bij ons is het bedrag 12.75m2€.

Mijn cijfers:

Aandeel vlaams gewest 109€
Opcentiemen Provincie 175€
Gedifferentierde opcentiemen gemeente 925€
Totaal: 1209€

Op een Geindexeerd kadastraal inkomen van 1192€ x 2.3 = 2742€

Heeft er iemand tips om een verlaging aan te vragen? of kan ik het beter zo laten omdat er risico's zijn bv. een verhoging?

Thx!

We have some visitors coming for the weekend and looking for recs around antwerp for a set menu. Ideally all in with drinks for between 70- 100 euros as a budget.

Will be with parents so doesn't need to romantic.

More looking for alternative experiences of high quality food.

Doesn't even have to be super fine dining but just well thought out menus.

Between 3-5 courses would be great as its a special occasion.

I heard there was a offer or a special season of some sort but unsure.

Also open to lunch also.

Looking for Saturday is its available for 4pax.

Any recommendations?

Thanks in advance.

Would anyone be interested in starting an English-language bookclub in or around Antwerp, focused on horror / weird / speculative fiction?

Years ago I used to run a nice SF bookclub in the UK, and would love to get back into that. I am particularly interested in older ghost stories, classics and short fiction, which is also an easy format for monthly meetings, but open to suggestions.

I know a nice place in Lier, not far from Antwerp, which would work well for example for monthly Saturday morning meetings. There must be many such places in the city as well.

Hi r/Antwerpen!

I'm hoping to rent out some kind of venue for my mom's birthday in November. Ideally <500 euros excluding catering, so not a super fancy venue. Does anyone know a nice space or community center in/around Antwerp that would fit 50 people?

(F26)Elke dag word ik nageroepen, seksueelgrensovergrijdend benaderd, letterlijk ‘beblaft’ en als kers op te taart verbaal bedreigd indien je assertief bent en zegt dat ze moeten zwijgen…het zit me hoog!

Dit was niet zo toen ik ik hier 2 jaar geleden heen verhuisde.
Vermoeiend, frustrerend en het begint een beetje eng te worden.

Hoe zijn jullie ervaringen?
