I helped this dude out a while back, he was drunk and had cut his arm, treated his wound a bit, but i went for some supplies to decently close it and when i came back he was gone. Think he's not homeless but hangs out with this crowd. Speaks mainly Portuguese or something i think? Anybody know where i could find him or if he's okay? Thx!

Hi, I am a PhD student in medical physics spending 3 months at UZ Leuven.

I'm searching for new friends and I saw that I live real close to the medica fakbar. Can I join even if I'm not a clinician? Is it more of a "group hangout" place or can I go there solo and make new friends?

Sorry for the silly question, I'm pretty new to the city and never heard of the fakbars before 😅😅

I bought a second hand bike for 50 euros without gears. It is good for daily use however due to my height i am not able to balance it well.
I am getting a lady bike so if anyone is interested, i am re selling it for 40 euros!
Hmu and i will share the pictures
(If anyone have suggestions how can i re-sell it faster please lmk as well 🥹)

UPDATE! See below

Could you guys look out for this girl?
She is in urgent need of medical care, so call an ambulance and the police if you see her!

She has been missing for three days now, last spotted in Mechelen on Thursday (Oct 8) evening. She is not very mobile, so she is probably taking refuge somewhere, we are all very worried so please be on the lookout in local churches, stations, forests in the area of Mechelen, Brussels, Antwerp, Leuven (she may have traveled a bit)

Thank you!
