Hooray Skip On Tour....the true skip visits my pristine and glorious city *waves the flag of Antwerp*
But first the bad news. Finding trance singles will be as good as impossible (except maybe for Tiësto: Traffic, Rain Falls Down & Love Will Come Again & Armin Van Buuren: Burned With Desire).
If you're looking for some Trance compilations go to the Free Record Shop, it's located on Wapper (a square half-way De Meir, fairly recognizable by the fountain with an Eagle in it, just ask or look it up on a map) because they will most likely still have a Bonzaï Compilation lying around (when you enter the store, look in the rack to the right of the stairs) and also several Trancemaster compilations (same rack, only a bit further). Also check the singles if interested in those of Tiësto & Armin.
Another shop where you might find full-albums of several artists (such as Johan Gielen, Tiësto and Armin) and plenty of mix albums is Mediamarkt, it lies near Central Station on the Keizerlei (again ask or look it up on a map).
Mediamarkt is fairly big, they sell everything ranging from coffemakers to headphones. The CD's are located completly at the back of the store. One of the racks will be name "dance" I think, brows through it to find something. Downside on mediamarkt is that almost everything is messed up, so the alphabetical order is not always correct.
Fnac isn't worth visiting Trance-wise. They offer over a wide range of electronic dance music but other that the new Tiësto-album you won't find much trance there.
Another shop, if you are looking for some older release or new releases at a suprisingly cheap price is the Replay. It is located at the corner of Oude Beurs and Lange Koepoortstraat (you know what you have to do  )
About the Kebad issue....Antwerp offers an endless row of Kebab restaurants. A good and fairly cheap one is located in the vicinity of the Central Station and the UGC Cinema Complex. It's called the Mandarijn or Mandarin (not sure), it's located on a square connecting the Statiestraat with the Breydelstraat (You should realy take a map along, helps alot ^^).
But you also have several in the Suikerrui, very close to the Grote Markt

Getting a kebab in Belgium is a piece of piss, you'll find them everywhere. Do note though that some places advertise as selling Pita but these are usually kebab shops, I've never understood why...
