If you want to travel by train, get a card from the station where you can travel for less money because you are a student. This way it is less expensive to travel.

This is an experience not to be missed. It will broaden your horizons if you let it. It is an opportunity to learn new languages and meet different cultures. If you have the chance take it.

Belgium is speaking 2 different languages and it´s a little bit hard to learn a language. Because sometimes you meet a person who speaks only French but no English.
