Main attractions at Glow

Hi! Anyone who went to Glow yesterday can share which attractions are must-sees? I always love to see the whole route, but I can't walk much.

TIA

Mellow hash or weed in eindhoven?

Where am I best to try for some mellow hash (preferably) or mellow weed in eindhoven. Inexperienced smoker and the regular street Uk strains are heavy for me. I like a more relaxed/chilled smoke.

Probably out of upstairs, pink, eurogarden, casa blanca?

Would be nice to sit for a smoke too. Maybe a beer at same time?

Couple of euro difference in price won't be an issue as I'm only after a gram for 2 days there.

Happy to walk a bit further if the hash/weed fits the bill.

I'll be walking to the RLD too so anything round there won't be an issue to get to either.

Thanks 😁

Buying cheap furniture

Hello! I have moved to new apartment and I have a tight budget to furnish it. I have been to Meubelplein Ekkersrijt and, for the second time already, I see some furniture shops selling some high-quality pieces for crazy low prices. Usually because the shop is closing down or going bankrupt. Where do these shops announce these things? Any tip is appreciated. Thanks

Panettone

Hi, anyone know of someone that bakes panettone in Eindhoven? I’d like to find one made fresh if possible. If anyone knows places outside of EHV that works too, any place is good.

Kamerplanten - recommendations for shops please

Hi,

we are here for the weekend and are looking for recommendations for a store that has a large selection of house plants / kamerplanten. Be grand if they do arrangements as well.

Garden centers with large indoor selection would also be great.

Someone recommended Neutkens but when I looked at their website, i couldn't see a single reference to house plants.

Thank you

Expat-friendly/English speaking driver instructors

I was thinking about getting my drivers license in this country. My dutch is not yet that good so I was looking for a driving instructor here since I spend most of my time in Eindhoven now. Does anyone know the procedure of getting a drivers license in this country for EU internationals?

Hair salon / barbershop recommendations

Hello,

I am a young expat who has resided in Eindhoven (Woensel) for a couple of years now. Recently, my barber closed his salon, and I was very satisfied with him because I could get a really nice haircut for €20-24. I have experimented with other nearby barbershop and was not as satisfied (it was mediocre), even though I would pay around €35.

I am looking for a local barber/hairdresser where locals eagerly go and get regular haircuts (so more "conservative" haircuts, but should also be open to more modern haircuts) and where I could pay around the average amount of money for their service (I think it's around €25 now, on average?). I am also willing to hear recommendations from a barber on which haircut style would suit me best. Preferably, that barbershop would be close to Montgomerylaan or Europalaan streets (15 minutes biking distance).

These are just some of the points that the barbershop you propose should meet. It does not have to satisfy all the criteria, but it should satisfy the majority.

Thank you for your responses.

SNLR.NL vs KPN

Hello all,

I need to make a fiber contract for a Gigabit internet connection. SNLR has the possibility to have a fixed IP address and is cheaper than KPN, but the latter looks more reliable - I can’t find much about SNLR online.

I also wonder if it’s possible to move contracts between addresses when moving. Any wisdom to share? Thank you!

Bike incident

A car almost ran me over when getting out of a parking. I was on my bike on the bike lane, the guy just was not looking. I wave it front of it to let him know he should look around when getting out, and he purposely accelerate and followed me, driving on the bike lane to scare me.

All is fine and everything, but will something happen if I report this to the police? It happened in Kruistraat, in front of a camera. I am a bit pissed that a person can litterally threaten my life this way, get mad and try to scare me with a two tons vehicle, then drive away.

Édit: Thanks all for the answers, will reach out to the police, who knows

Renting a suit for a wedding

Hey everyone !

I was hoping you could help me with something. I have a wedding in a month (not mine), and I’m looking for a place that rents suits for a couple of days. Additionally, I need to find a place that can take my measurements. I have the opportunity to rent a suit directly in Ireland, but the problem is that the places I’ve visited so far won’t take my measurements.

Since the wedding is in Ireland, I can’t go there directly to try the suit. Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks for your help ! Cheers

Beste parking voor Effenaar?

Ik worstel al een tijdje met wat nu de beste parking is. Heuvel, bijenkorf, … die ene langs het station (kan je daar nog? Of waren daar werken? Heb al lang niet meer geprobeerd). Betalen is geen issue maar als het goedkoop kan is het natuurlijk beter.

Groetjes aan ieder die morgen bij DT is.

Eindhoven to Schiphol public transportation best option?

Hello

I need to travel from Eindhoven to Schiphol in November. I was planning to travel by train but there are some planned maintenance. Is there any other option like a direct bus service or any airport shuttle which will not be as expensive as a private taxi.

Thanks !

Looking for maker business partner.

Hello. I have a private makerspace - think milling machine, welder, cnc, full woodshop, electronics lab, etc. And it's constantly expanding.

I am looking for a business partner in the area who is keen to build marketable IoT products, sometimes with robotics involved.

It'd be good to know programming, mechanical and electrical engineering, and basic manufacturing processes. Or, at the least, the desire to want to learn and be productive with this knowledge.

If you're interested, please DM.
