Antwerpen

Central Station from China Town

Recently, they are making a lot of construction work in this area, making the area around the zoo become difficult to access.

I had the impression that the safety also decrease in this area, plenty of suspicious cafes, and people with strange look. I am sure you can easily buy grass or drugs here.

But then talking about the town itself, fashion and design, one of the famous design school is in Antwerpen, and the number of Belgian famous fashion designers came from here. Plus there are plenty of nice, trendy bars to hang out (and people dress really nice here although I think they are a little bit snobbish).
