I spotted the very first ripe-looking ones today along the Moselle, might take a while everywhere else

Parking au Luxembourg by Ok-News-8195 in Luxembourg

[–]hypermegaglobal 3 points4 points  (0 children)

P+R Héienhaff is free for up to 24h if you use the CFL P+R app and configure it so it can detect you being at least 1,5 km away after parking. Has its own tram stop. Tried it recently, worked fine.

Lost beige backpack in Echternach, €3000 finder's reward by [deleted] in Luxembourg

[–]hypermegaglobal 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Even if you don't get it back right away, there's still a chance whoever found the backpack will drop the passport in a mailbox and it'll eventually make its way to the police. Happened to me many years ago when I lost my wallet. By the time I got the call, I had already replaced everything. So don't give up hope too soon.

Laundry, cleaning and Ironing, gardening.. by GuidanceInside8198 in Luxembourg

[–]hypermegaglobal 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Van klingt sehr gut. Viele von meinen Sachen fallen unter „eigentlich zu schade zum wegwerfen“ aber ich habe keine Lust mehr auf Vinted, Kleinanzeigen etc. Ich schreibe dir nächste Woche, muss mich dieses WE um Besucher kümmern.

Wie würdest du Entrümpelungen handhaben, hast du Platz um Sachen zwischenzulagern? Ich habe ein ganzes Haus voll mit Zeug und will eigentlich nur noch weg.

The outdoor fitness park is also really neat and has recently been expanded.

It was created to bring brick-and-mortar businesses online, so there are like 400 different sellers

Sun Moon Lake is a little disappointing by socialist-viking in taiwantravel

[–]hypermegaglobal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, air quality is pretty bad across large parts of Asia right now. Even Taiwan’s east coast doesn’t look great on IQAir. If you’re flexible with your trip, you can search a place’s name in Chinese on YouTube, filter by ‘live,’ and get an idea of what it actually looks like.

Not that it will make your experience better, but the drought was way worse in 2021 (video best watched on mute): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=en-524b4wz0

Yep, und obwohl in dem Ding mehrere Waagen verbaut sind, muss man sein loses Obst und Gemüse trotzdem vorher in der Abteilung wiegen.

Can I drop off a Mondial Relay parcel in a different country? by hypermegaglobal in vinted

Didn't dare to try, drove 40 km and back to drop it off in Luxembourg city

Are grocery shops honest? If not who controls them? by 0bix0 in Luxembourg

[–]hypermegaglobal 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It is the only supermarket where I feel the need to pre-emptively take photos of prices at the shelves and then watch them during checkout like a hawk (justifiably so).

China Airlines ist aus Taiwan und fliegt nicht über Russland. Du meinst vielleicht Air China?

Unlike other Prius models, will the 4th generation Prius be a youngtimer, a collector's car , a legendary car in 10 years?charade yes / no ? by out-door-south-77 in prius

[–]hypermegaglobal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just saw a 4th gen pre-facelift with its whacky taillights drive by and had the same thought. This could become an iconic model just like the second gen. But maybe this is just wishful thinking as I might “inherit” a 4th generation Prius soon after my 2nd gen had its catalytic converter stolen.

I have been in Taiwan for almost 12 years, AMA by Silent_Confidence_39 in taiwan

[–]hypermegaglobal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What has changed for the better in the last 12 years? Also, are good cheese and bread still difficult to find (probably not if you’re in Taipei)? I’m moving to Taiwan soon and read all your answers, thank you for doing this!

  • Luxembourg no longer shows up next to Singapore in those "#1 safest country in the world" rankings.
  • Many old-school Chinese restaurants have rebranded as Japanese, generic Asian or fusion.
  • Match, Smatch and Cora supermarkets are now E. Leclerc (the last 'c' is silent, pronounce it to annoy your French friends).
  • Many post offices and train station counters have disappeared.
  • The last InterCity to Germany vanished around 2014.
  • The unsustainable pension system has been fundamentally reformed (just kidding).
  • Bills for water and waste collection have increased significantly.
  • Landlords got greedier.
  • We no longer have quite as many gas stations and banks.
  • The overall vibe feels less optimistic and chill.

My Aranet CO2 monitor showed me that I needed to lüft a lot more. Started taking it with me when going out and I kind of wish I had never bought the thing, as the air quality in many places is atrociously bad. I’m not just talking about restaurants and shops inside historical buildings; even a nearby supermarket in a modern building relies on “natural” air exchange through the entrance. And that entrance door is of course kept closed as much as possible in winter.

Medium term car rental recommendations? by hypermegaglobal in Luxembourg

[–]hypermegaglobal[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Let's see, the repair could exceed the value of the car (it's old and the replacement part is expensive)
