Why buy a book when you can join a library

I start with this topic as it is fairly dear to my heart. Books have always been a big part of my life and when I arrived in Brussels I realised that if I need to depend on buying each new book instead of lending it from the library, i will go bankrupt.

Where: Munt 6, 1000 Brussels

When: Every day from 10:00-20:00 plus there is a box on the side of the library for returns outside the working hours

How much: 10 euros a year (yes a year!)

Why: Because it has a great choice of English fiction books, lovely events/exhibitions/a lovely cafe just for chillaxing. And because you can renew your books online

And for all of your Flemish speakers out there, the link with more information is: https://www.muntpunt.be/

The Journey Begins

Thanks for joining me!

I have decided to start this blog to help people navigate the life of an expat in Brussels. There are already many different pages providing different content but this will be one where I tend to summarise everything I learnt from my 7 years living as an expat in Brussels. Some topics may be dreary, some more fun but I will do my best to keep the balance more on the fun side. The goal is for the blog to be read and found interesting by both newbies in Brussels but also people that have been living here for a while and are looking for something new/else/different to do.

I look forward to hearing your suggestions/advice/comments on how to improve the site.
