Hitching Out
Hitchhiking is pretty common in Belgium, especially in the North, so you won't have a difficult time.
Southwest towards Gent, Paris
Follow Amerikalei to the on ramp for the A14/E17. You have to go under a tunnel before getting out to the ramp. A good place to stand is here.
South towards Brussels, Luxembourg
Get the train from the Central transport Station at platform 6 and get off at the first stop which is “Oost Staation” (direction "Essen"). When you leave the station, walk under the train bridge, walk straight down to the signs for Brussels. Here, you should stand after the traffic lights and in a position that you get the attention of cars coming from the two different sections of the junction.
