Also - can anyone recommend the best place to get veg and tofu etc in the Etterbeek commune (that is where I have rented a flat). I am coming from Toronto (where we have an almost silly variety of vegan options at our finger tips) and I have heard that I will have a difficult time eating vegan in Brussels - so any help would be very appreciated.

Can you make some suggestions as to some potential spots to meet people? I am making this move alone, and although I will have a wide colleague base to draw from when making new friends I am quite interested in making friends outside of work.

In fact - any information about Brussels, being an expat in Brussels, social groups, warnings/advice would be wonderful. Best!
