Where can I develop films in Maastricht or nearby?

Please do not recommend Foto Rembrandt because it is quite bad, especially for the price. I have taken 3 or 4 rolls of film there, and all of them were developed poorly, with a very noticeable yellow tint. I do not mind traveling to a nearby city if you know of a genuinely good place. If necessary, I am willing to go to a larger city, provided the developer is excellent. Another option would be any trustworthy online lab, if you know of one.

Visitor to my accommodation asked to pay city tax

(SOLVED)

Im a student living at The Social Hub and while my girlfriend was visiting (she lives in maastricht) the receptionist demanded that she pay city tax even though she already lives in the city and has a bsn number. Is that legal and how is it possible that everytime i have a guest over they are required to pay a fee even though i live here on a 12 month contract

Where can i find holder/stand for a real Christmas tree?

Funny enough, Lidl sell real 2 meters tall trees without selling holders. HEMA, Blokker, the Christmas pop up in the centre and the market don’t have any. Where can i buy such holder in the city preferably radius of 20 mins cycling from the center. Thanks!

Winter is coming.

Yeah! Look like it’s officially here and, the joy of visiting the vibrant Christmas market for the first time is real. Also the winter depression is staring at us and most of our friends (the only few we have) would be heading back home to their countries and it’s gonna get quieter. So, here I am: A 26M ambivert who loves to go out for a walk, a coffee or a beer. Loves travelling, meeting new people and to soak in a new experience. Just putting this out there, hoping a kind and like minded woman might catch it and say hi. ⛄️🫶 PS : The jumbo beschuit did not work.

Leuke plekjes?

Hoi! Komend weekend ga ik naar Maastricht. Ik ben er meermaals geweest, maar nooit écht de stad ontdekt. Nu weet ik van een huisgenoot het 'verborgen' Mr. Smith barretje, en was benieuwd naar soortgelijke plekjes? Voor cafeetjes, barretjes dan wel restaurants. Alvast dank!

Looking for visual artists/lighting artists etc. who want to collaborate on audiovisual projects/installations

I’m a sound designer based in Liège (just moved here) and don’t speak enough French to connect with locals (most can’t be arsed to speak english, and I’m still learning French so it’ll take a while to integrate), so I thought I’d check if there is anyone that fits the above description across the border :)

Here’s some of my work/sounds if interested

Bike storage long term Main station/Randwyck

Hi, I often come to Maastricht and wanted to leave a bike near the main station, because the bus connection to where i always go to is not so good. Is there any place i can leave my bike for free longer (sometimes longer then 14 days, which from what i understood is the limit for most places). It's not an especially good bike, so if a too dangerous place it's alao fine to leave it outside. Alternatively if there is none near the main station, is there anywhere near Randwyck i could leave it well? Thank you for the help!

Night out with big group

Hello,

We are a group of 20 people and we are looking to spend a Saturday night in Maastricht. Do you have any good recommendations / places we should definitely not to go?

As a big group takes up some space, we would prefer something not too crowded.

We arrive at 8 PM by train and we are planning to take an Uber home. Are there enough Ubers at night or would you recommend something else?

Nieuwsmijders

Op Internet las ik dat bijna 40% van de Nederlanders het nieuws expres links laat liggen en niet meer tot zich neemt. Ik was erg benieuwd of er hier ook mensen zijn die nieuws mijden en zoja, wat zijn voor jullie redenen om niet meer naar het nieuws te kijken/luisteren?

Gasleak in city center

According to https://alarmeringen.nl/limburg/limburg-zuid/maastricht/51335805/p2000-gaslek-op-nieuwstraat-in-maastricht.html a gas leak has been the cause of shutting down a few streets in city center.

I'm wondering if anybody has been hurt by this or whether evacuations took place?

non stick pan, plants container and meat

Hi cool people, sorry about the mixed subject, just prefer to as it all at once rather than 3 posts..

  1. Where can i but in the city (preferably in a good price) a non stick pan without toxic forever chemicals? like ceramic non stick, cast iron, stainless steel...

  2. Where can i find plastic container for plants? i got soil from Jumbo, but need a bigger plastic as my plant grows wild and needs more space..

  3. why is every meat package in the supermarket has preservatives and anti oxidants? i reduced the meat consumption since arriving here due to it.. yes i know about Onglet and gedeelde weelde but it's very expensive, further away, and sometimes frozen..... all i need is clean meat no added toxic.. 1 day expiry is fine..

thanks!

Subreddit voor Wajongers

Ik heb een subreddit gemaakt voor Wajongers genaamd : r/WajongUWV Deze subreddit zal zich bezighouden met dingen als de aanvraag, juridische vragen of vragen omtrent bezwaren, re-integratie en werken of studeren met een Wajong, maar ook een plek om iets persoonlijks te delen etc. Ik weet niet hoeveel animo hiervoor is, als er genoeg animo voor is dan zal ik de subreddit verder organiseren en inrichten, graag lid worden zodat ik kan zien hoeveel behoefte hier aan is. Suggesties zijn zeker welkom!

  • Maasland Relocation
  • Holland 2 Stay

  • Any other suggestions would be much appreciated 🙏

mid/heavy board games

Good day, Im(21m) curious if there is anyone here into mid/heavier board games such as SW: Rebellion, Dune Imperium, Brass, anything from GMT(Twilight Struggle, Paths of glory), etc. ? We already are a group of people who relatively often meet to play but some weeks folks are busy/unavailable, and so am searching for more players. I personally would never turn down a game of TS, dune, any other GMT-type experience almost any day

Particularly relevant for the near future, there is a 9 player game of Eclipse 2 on the horizon, and depending on how it shapes up, 1-2 or so of the seats could possibly be open for anyone who has played or is interested in trying.

If any part of this sounds good then id be happy to get a game going some day.
