Hello everyone, I am moving to Belgium in December and I am a passionate baker of cakes and cookies, and cake deco as well. I would like to know where I can find a wholesale shop for baking ingredients and cake deco items. During my last visit to ...
Domo is excellent. I have a Domo hand mixer that I've had for 6 years and I use it often and have had no problems. Read More

Fine patisserie would include cake. It would be ideal for you to use a flour exclusively for fine patisserie if you are making a cake, but you can use this. Sift it well before using it would be my recommendation. Read More

What to bring from USA by angelathegreat
We're moving to Belgium in about a week. I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions on stuff I might want to bring in my check in that is hard to find or expensive there. Just little things like peanut butter. Thoughts/suggestions? Thanks!
Peanut butter is pretty much a staple in my home. :) There are very few things that I can't find here that I was able to find in the states. I do miss good fried chicken. :( You can also check out a Bio-Planet in Brussels or in the ... Read More

Oh no, they have the chunky too. I buy my peanut butter from the Bio-Planet and it's good and chunky; good German quality. I believe Carrefour sells the chunky too. I know they sell the smooth. You should have no problem finding what you ... Read More

Visa for nanny by michellesmith1190
Hi guys! I searched the forum, but couldn't find anything relating to my question, sorry if it's already been posed. I am moving to Belgium in October. I wanted to be an au pair, but unfortunately am 26 and too old. I have looked at ...
Michelle, sounds like you don't really have a plan in regards to employment in Belgium and I would highly recommend you don't come here without secured employment. As Schoolmum stated there is no "nanny visa." No plan for ... Read More
Practical questions on Belgium, from a recent arrival by cbthomas2006
I'm a long-term American expat. Belgium is the 6th foreign country where I've lived and worked. A few practical questions, since I'm a bit baffled by my experience here so far: 1.) Why does everything close so early? How does anyone ...
No shame in that. Good luck in England. Read More
Language proficiency of Belgium citizenship by Tubeloid
Hello just came across this Link to article according to this article "In order to obtain Belgian citizenship and at moment of deposition of a statement of nationality at the Registrar of civil status you will need to prove in some cases the ...
I can't verify if this is true or not, but it seems strange that someone would be able to get citizenship just based on the fact that he/she worked continuously for 5 years in Belgium and doesn't have to prove a basic command of any of the ... Read More

Adjust and stop the comparisons between countries. Zipper gave great advice. I've been here for almost 8 years and quickly learned complaining and comparing doesn't help matters. Adapt and embrace as quickly as possible. You can always ... Read More
Speaking French, Dutch or German in Belgium by Priscilla
Hi everyone, It is widely agreed that speaking French, Dutch or German is essential for a successful integration in Belgium. Do you agree? Share your experience! Do you speak one of those languages? If so, where did you learn it? Where can one ...
I've mastered Dutch and now I am trying to master French. I live in Flanders, so Dutch was a must to learn first. I followed the integration course and now I am learning French in a local community center. I try to watch and listen to ... Read More

Both are great cities for young people especially Leuven. You probably would have more nightlife in Leuven though. Read More
