How is the t' Hofke neighborhood?

Hello! My partner and I just had our bid accepted on a beautiful detached house in the northern part of the 't Hofke area in Eindhoven. While we’re excited about the house, I have some doubts as I’ve heard mixed opinions about the neighborhood.

Can anyone share their experiences or insights about 't Hofke? How safe is the area, and what’s the general vibe like?

Where to find some nice, cheap and wide cirtians?

Hi!

I need curtains but my windows are pretty wide. Thus one wind should be at least 1.60m wide which eliminats the ones in Ikea. I searched in google a bit but the options I could find are a bit expensive. What are my other options here?

Edit (Conclusion) Thanks all for the answers. I checked the options and buying curtains from my hometown is way cheaper even including the flight tickets and luggage fees(!) So I'll plan a visit to Turkey!

Kookclub omgeving Eindhoven

Hou je net zoveel van koken als van een gezellige avond? Lijkt het je leuk om eens per maand bij elkaar te komen waar we ombeurten een lekker gerecht koken en nog even naborrelen? Mijn naam is Gijs (34 jaar) en ik ben op zoek naar mensen om een kookclubje mee te starten. Ben jij (of ken jij) iemand tussen 28 en 38 jaar die dit leuk lijkt? Stuur mij dan even een berichtje!

Where to find ground beef with lower fat % ? Something like 5-8% per 100g.

I have been looking for lean ground beef with a lower fat percentage, but I cannot find anything with less than 10% fat (per 100g); even the lean option at AH is about 12%.

Going away for 5 weeks, what are my options?

Hi,

We will be visiting our home country for 5 weeks starting 31dec. Is there anyway I can airbnb or do short term rental of our apartment for this duration? What are the risks in doing so? At least want to get some rent back in this way as we are not staying here for more than a month.

Jobs in Einhoven and surrounds

I'm looking to change careers and am moving to Eindhoven soon. I'm wondering if there are jobs in Eindhoven that I may not have thought of. I'm not looking for a huge salary or anything like that. I've worked desk jobs for the past ten years and would like to do something more physical, or at least more interesting than staring at a computer screen for 8+ hours a day. I'm thinking along the lines of landscaping, or renovation, but I'd like to know what else is out there as well. Any suggestions? Thanks!

2 students looking for band mates eindhoven

Hi, I'm a student at fontys eindhoven looking for other students to set up a band with. I play bass personally but am not very experienced, and I know a drummer who's also up to join. We're mostly looking to play music for the fun of it. We'd like to rent a studio to practice maybe once a week or so, (the studio cost is 11 eurod per hour. Its still up for discussion tho :) we're really flexible). We mostly like to play indie pop, indie rock or just general rock music (for a more extensive list check below).

If you're interested or know anyone whos interested don't be shy to reach out!!

(think green day, glass beach, good kid, the red hot chillie peppers or more chill music like radiohead, mild high club, grentperez ).

Strange light in the sky

Hi fellow Eindhovenaren. I have a question. I have a hobby, taking timelapse films of the clouds over Eindhoven. I post them on YouTube (https://youtube.com/@stekkie40). Why? I don't know, maybe I just like clouds. :-)

I have one camera facing north, and one facing east.

On the 28th of september we noticed a bright purple light shining up towards the sky. (https://youtu.be/X4tCe60GTBg?si=dOfWOkMV1Kla1cpw) This was around the time that the northern lights were visible in Eindhoven, so we first thought that this was the northern light. But clearly wasn't. It was visible in the general direction of Nuenen / Helmond.

Last night I let the timelapse film during the night. ( https://youtu.be/XaRbN6ZR8-Q?si=EMHa2Rv2UcI1rktv)

Around 2 o'clock in the morning I notice that again a very very bright light is shining. This time during the whole night, up to around 7 o'clock. The camera timelapsed in infrared, so all is black and white, so I can't tell if it was the purple light again, but it is in the exact same location.

Does anyone know where this light is coming from? Is it an industrial light, because it is very big and bright, or "party"lights at a local disco.

I would appreciate the help solving this question.

Kind regards, Rob

Documents in Car

Hi, I got my first car recently. As I am an expat, wanted to understand what documents to carry in car and what on myself. Driving license for example will be with me. We have two of us driving the car, hence the question. Is it safe/recommended to leave EV charging cards and other car related documents in the car?

Thanks in advance.

Which scooter brands do people buy?

I have been driving double wheel transport (scooters and bikes) for many years, but never seen such dysfunctional scooters as La Souris. My wife has made a mistake of buying one, and it takes more than a year to repair a squeaking break, they just can't do it. Any school boy in Asia can do that, but mechanics in La Souris can only change oil and clean breaks.

I would fix it myself, but they don't sell spare parts to non-licenses shops or anywhere online.

Would like to get rid of this piece of garbage and never deal with La Souris again. I'm usually a massive fan of Suzuki or Honda, but those don't seem as popular here (not sure ,why?).

Which scooter brands do people buy? Preferably, something that I can repair myself or in any garage.
