This library contains books in English, Dutch, German, Italian, and Spanish. === Eating === A cheap supermarket, [http://maps.google.be/maps?q=Colruyt+discounts,+Boulevard+de+la+Constitution,+Li%C3%A8ge&hl=fr&ie=UTF8&ll=50.643202,5.584552&spn=0.010518,0.024805&sll=50.638602,5.571957&sspn=0.010519,0.024805&vpsrc=0&gl=be&hq=Colruyt+discounts,&hnear=Boulevard+de+la+Constitution,+4020+Li%C3%A8ge&t=m&z=16 Colruyt], can be found on the Boulevard de la Constitution. Although most shops are closed on Sunday, the local market takes place on the Quai de la Batte, all along the river. There you can find everything you may need. A good place for dumpster diving as well.

It might also be a good place to remember whenever you're looking for free toilets. === Going out === In the district called "Le Carré", there are plenty of pubs open until the late morning. The entrance is usually free. But if you're looking for something more alternative, you should have a look at the entrance of the association called "Aquilone", Boulevard de Saucy. There are a lot of flyers and posters to advertise the upcoming events of the underground scene of the city. [http://liege.demosphere.eu/ Démosphère] is an alternative cultural agenda that gives info about all kind of stuff happening in all the different alternative places in Liege and around (lectures, concerts, workshops, theatre, parties, etc.) === Public transports === You can go to [http://www.infotec.be/index.aspx?PageIdNomadwiki =631734023237830544&Language=english the regional bus company website], which provides you the schedule for each bus all around the country. Blackriding is quite difficult. Each passenger is supposed to show his ticket to the driver when going on board, and regular routine controls are conducted. Although, the bus drivers are often in a hurry, and won't always actually look at your ticket if you're showing it by yourself. This is especially true during the rush hours.A good compromise is the one day ticket, which cost eur 3.00 and allows you to use all the buses in the urban area (delimitations are shown on bus stops panels).The company's little stores near the main bus stops (Saint Lambert, Gare Léopold, Pont d'Avroy) as well as the offices (i.e. in the main train station)
The main train station is [[nomad:Liège-Guillemins (busses #1, #4, and many others). The province is well served by the ]] [[httptrash://www.b-rail.be/main/E/ SNCB/NMBSLiège]], but recent budget cuts may change this situation. Ticket controls are not systematics on regional lines, but keep in mind that the fine may be up to eur 150.
