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 ;)
