Antwerp

Antwerp is a city and municipality in Belgium and the capital of the Antwerp province of Flanders. Antwerp's total population is 512,000 (as of 1 January 2013),[making it the largest municipality in both Flanders and Belgium in terms of its population. Its total area is 204.51 km2 (78.96 sq mi), giving a population density of 2,308 inhabitants per km². The metropolitan area, including the outer commuter zone, covers an area of 1,449 km2 (559 sq mi) with a total of 1,190,769 inhabitants as of 1 January 2008. The French name of Antwerpen is Anvers; it may be found written this way on signposts in French-speaking parts of Belgium, and of course in French publications.

In my previous post I already briefly explained about how to go to Belgium and what to do there. In this post I"ll tell you about the details what I usually did when I go to Antwerp.

Ting-Kee is one of the restaurant in Antwerp china town (Next to central station). I really like this restaurant because it reminds me of home, they have a really nice bakso (meatball) and you can combine it with noodles, and they have varies of noodles that you can choose. It cost around 8-9 euro per portion and you get a glass of hot tea with it.

 Forever 21 is one of the clothing store in Antwerp. My main goal to go to Antwerp is to spend some money on nice clothes, because they have more options than cities in NL. My favorite is Forever 21 because when they are on sale they gave like really crazy price. There were one time they had the buy one get one free promotion. Well of course the bad side is you're gonna get broke after that. :p


Antwerp City Hall is one of the must-see item in Antwerp. It's really beautiful and old, especially at night with all the light and the moonlight.

Conclusion since I have the weekend free abonnement from NS (Dutch Railways) and under 26, I only have to pay 7.20 for a round trip to Antwerp. And all other cost usually from the clothes I bought. And if you want to save money, just bring your own food ;)

The next step after the administration process is Leaderless Group Discussion and interview. The process usually take 2 days, depends on your luck, some people finish it in 1 day. A day before the said schedule on their timeline, you will receive an email with details about the venue and which group are you in. All participant need to be there at 8 AM, my location was at STAN Student Center, Bintaro. Luckily my aunt lives in Bintaro, so I stayed over at her place which is 10 minutes away from the venue. Without further due, I will tell you about the process December 2nd I couldn't sleep the night before, I guess I was nervous. I woke up around 5ish, because we had to be there on 7.30. I left around 6.15, because I didn't want to be late. When I got there, the place is already crowded with hundreds of participant, I found an empty seat next to someone, I didn't really remember his name, we had a short conversation. There are lots of great people there, some of them are yo...

Living in Europe - Survival Guide (Part 1)

In this post I'll share information about what to do, what to bring, and what to have when you decided to become an Au Pair, or maybe when you decided to move to Netherlands for Travel, doesn't matter how you come here, I'm here to help you enjoy the most of it:   What to bring: Credit Card(s): Why? Well, you will need credit card to book plane ticket, hotel, etc. Make sure you have enough money on your bank account to pay your credit card. I use internet banking facility to pay my credit card bill. But if you don't have credit card, it should be fine, you can ask the hostfamily or maybe your friends to help you book the ticket. But for me it means less freedom, and sometimes they are too busy, and you'll miss the opportunity to get the cheap-promo ticket. It's your call :) Minimum amount of clothes: Why? Clothes here are cheaper than in your home country (at least for me, since I come from Indonesia), and you can get nice clothes and maybe branded stuff ...
