Talk:Antwerp
From Wikitravel
There's something wrong with the drinking; it figures a drink (bolleke) and places to drink. This is confusing!

- Rather than removing all of these, it would be best to figure out which of these listings was most appropriate, and leave it in that section. - Todd VerBeek 08:19, 31 July 2006 (EDT)
[edit] Stay safe: Borgerhout
I've just read in this article that Borgerhout is mentioned as an unsafe neighborhood. It happens that I'm doing Erasmus in Antwerp and I live by this area. I buy the bread, wash my clothes... in this neighborhood, I leave my bycicle unlocked and I like night walks. When I read here that this could be dangerous I felt surprised, and, inmediatly afterwards, I felt that, maybe, if girls were a bit whiter-skined and didn't wear a head-scarf no one would feel threat in this area.
[edit] Introduction
The overwhelming friendliness of the people of Antwerp -> isn't this a little bit exaggerated? I am not saying the people of Antwerp aren't friendly but I don't think this is a statement you can make in the city of Antwerp.--81.246.15.38 06:39, 3 March 2009 (EST)
