- get used to bureaucracy. You need an ID card for a lot of things. To get that, you need to get registered. It's not too difficult (go to your local council office or the central registry in Brussels), but depending where you are it can take some time until you finally get your card.

- be prepared to take a number and wait. In Brussels it can easily take up to an hour to buy a stamp at the post office if you're unlucky. Get used to it. If you're grumpy to the clerk after waiting for an hour and a half they have no qualms to ignore you and send you away without any stamps at all. If you need to go to the central registry office in Brussels in person during a busy time you may find that you have to wait in line to get a number, which will allocate you a place in the queue to get another number for the actual queue.
