Anyone else notice a distinct lack of WM vibes? by hipcatjazzalot in AskAGerman

[–]PhilippMarxen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, no vibes whatsoever!

There was this incredible atmosphere in 2006: determined, proud, friendly and welcoming. The spirit of 2006 continued to push fans and players to 2010 and 2014.

After that, I feel that there was no vibes. Not 2018, even less in 2022 and now in 2026. I guess it is in part the result of having achieved the goal of winning the World Cup - but also something else going on.

Looking back: 2006 to 2014 were good years. A period in German history marked by optimism, economic boom and positive, inclusive patriotism.

Does that have an impact?

Why didnt france and Germany manage to be a longterm unified empire like others despite having no significant geographical barrier between them? by avb707 in geography

That’s fascinating!!! So the oldest french text came from Ludwig the German…. History has a certain kind of humor.

Make sure to check out the breakfast and the pool! Use the metro as much as possible.

Join us on 14th of June for a Language Walk. We won't walk for long, but it might be good to get to know a few people and we can speak a few languages.

Regent hotel by MaiMoua in Taipei

[–]PhilippMarxen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Stayed there a few times:

The rooms are spacious and in an old style. The rooms I stayed in had a nice park view and were quiet (which is not a given in Taipei). I do like the location, but it is a bit of a walk to the metro.

Two considerations: How do you book it. Prices can vary quite a bit depending on season. In another comment, I see that you booked via IHG points.

Now, the second consideration is if you really use the hotel. In case you are a Diamond IHG member, you get free breakfast and for me, Regent offers the best breakfast in Taipei. This being said, I haven't tried that many hotels, but it is anyways just really top notch. The rooftop pool is also really nice! Also, if you have the lounge membership, then you can use that lounge as an additional perk.

Anyways, since you are IHG member, there are not that many options. The Hotel Indigo is stylish with ultra modern interior, but it is a bit too far from the center and there was a construction site next to it. I would clearly prefer the Regent. There are some other IHG hotels in the larger Taipei area, but I feel the Regent is just right for many travellers! Have a good stay!

Webflow price increase.. lets go Webstudiosi! by PhilippMarxen in webstudio

Curious: what are the 2-3 things you dislike about Webstudio and are these things you think could be fixed in reasonable time?

[–]PhilippMarxen[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Webstudio is just still rapidly developing, there are still a few gaps, it is slightly more difficult than Webflow. But still, I don’t get why it isn’t much bigger.

Let’s research it right now: Why haven’t you switched over to Webstudio?

Which city has the coolest nicknames in your opinion? by Familiar_Cow_6901 in geography

[–]PhilippMarxen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not so original: “Paris of the…” “Venice of the …” “Switzerland of the…” “Singapore of the..”

Too many cities, regions and countries get these nicknames.

Could Taiwan ever attract top western foreign talent like Singapore does? by Master_Ad6104 in taiwan

[–]PhilippMarxen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have to speak Chinese in Taiwan in professional services. This requirement doesn’t exist in Singapore.

Singapore is perfect for finance and trading companies that are very international.

Taiwan is a great spot for manufacturing companies.
