Have done "nothing". Will have to try "something" next weekend.

[luckykaa]

I've done nothing this weekend.  Have really enjoyed it.  My exciting nothing included reading, setting up a Wii, shopping, sushi, watching videos, playing games, and harmonica practice.

All good fun,  Will really need to get out a bit though.  I am walking distance from an international railway station.  Not totally sure where I can efficiently get to on Thalys, Fyra, ICE and TGV (And of course the Belgian national rail network), but will have to see.

So where are the places to visit in Belgium and neighbouring countries?  And does anyone want to meet me there?

Thalys runs to Amsterdam, Paris, Cologne etc, ICE runs to major German cities, TGV runs to all major French cities and Fyra runs to all major Dutch cities. You can go aaaanywhere you like.

Paris like an hour away from Brussels on the Thalys so that rocks? I also really love Lille in Northern France and Utrecht in the Netherlands. The latter is easily one of my favorite cities nearby. It's like Amsterdam, but with more students and less obnoxious tourists :D.

Definitely going to do a day trip to Paris some time. Although I have a friend who says she's moving back there so will see if she does.

So you didn't mention your home town... Is antwerp not worth visiting?

Antwerp is worth a day trip, from the haze of nostalgic memory.

If you like theme parks, De Efteling isn't too far away, and Six Flags is fun - depending on how far you want to travel, Europa Park in Germany is also a good day out, although you'd probably want to make it a two-day trip and overnight somewhere.

De Efteling is bonkers, but fun!
