Hi Faidra !

I'm french and I'm in Antwerp since september. I decided to move here for my job and believe me, I wasn't forced by my employee !
Antwerp is a beautiful city but if I had one advice to give that would be to learn dutch/flemish !!
Quality of living is really better for me (I come from Paris !!), a bigger flat for an uncredible price, food is also cheapper (you can also go to Holland, even cheapper), motorist are paying attention to cycists etc...
On the other hands, it is true that internet is not fantastic (see the first comment on the top of the page), mobile phone cost more than in France for instance...
But when you move to a new contry you need to get rid of all your preconcieved ideas and be ready to discover everything with new eyes !!
Also, if your husband is from here you won't be lost !!
You'll meet unpleasant and lovely persons like everywhere else in the world !!
In fact, I think that going back to university is a good way to meet people and discover the city...
Go for it and don't hesitate if you need anything, I'll be glad to help if I can !!
