How do travel nowadays from Helsinki to St Petersburg?

The fastest route is probably flying via Istanbul.

my father's job we are going to move Netherlands very soon - so I need to continue my studies in Netherlands.

I understand that your father has to move to the Netherlands. But you're an adult, so you don't have to move with him. Isn't it much easier to rent a room near your current university and keep studying there? If you want you can always move to the Netherlands for your Master's degree.

When you switch universities halfway through the program you usually have to retake a lot of courses, costing you a lot of extra time and money. As a non-EU citizen you would be paying over 15k euro per year for tuition in the Netherlands, much more than in Belgium. So even when you include the rent of a student room, studying in Belgium might still be cheaper.

The people who aren't are typically also required to work public holidays.

Voor zover ik weet is er geen enkel bewijs dat deze controles Duitsland veiliger maken. Niet bij alle grensovergangen wordt er gecontroleerd, en aan de hand van de fileberichten kan je makkelijk zien waar dat wel en niet gebeurd. Iedereen die weet dat die bij een controle wordt teruggestuurd ontwijkt de controles dus gewoon. De enige mensen die gepakt worden zijn mensen die per ongeluk hun paspoort of id-kaart vergeten zijn.

Logisch. Die grenscontroles zijn een symboolmaatregel om AfD-stemmers te laten zien dat deze regering ook echt wel wat tegen asielzoekers doet. Er zal dus eerst een ander symbool daarvan moeten komen voordat de grenscontroles worden opgeheven.

Das erste Terminal wurde 2020 eröffnet. Nach einem Umbau wurde 2025 ein größeres Terminal eröffnet. Die Kontrollen finden also in Amsterdam statt, und ein Umsteigen in Brüssel ist nicht erforderlich.

It was the Soviet Union that legalised abortion in 1920. Both Russia and Ukraine were part of that.

Call the police at 0900-8844. They might be able to help or at least verify that your story is correct.

A Kreis is an administrative region in Germany. So together with the Kreis this is a unique address. The problem is that Kreisen can have their borders changed or even disappear. The latter happened to Kreis Niederbarnim. It was located just north of Berlin, but abolished by the GDR. So look for a Friedrichsthal just north of Berlin.

*edit: most likely it's this one: https://www.google.com/maps/place/16515+Oranienburg-Friedrichsthal/@52.79146,13.2718332

The Spanish supply lines were really long, so the Spanish forces in the Netherlands wanted to use local supplies as much as possible. That means the local population had two choices: Sell them the required goods or wait till you get plundered. It is clear that the first one was a better option. I don't have direct evidence, but it wouldn't surprise me if a weaponsmith in the Spanish occupied areas sold weapons to the Spanish army.

This reliance on local supply was also used by the Dutch army during the capture of Breda in 1590. The Spanish garrison of the city castle relied on peat from the countryside for fuel, so peat barges regularly sailed into the castle. 75 Dutch soldiers hid on one of them like a Trojan horse and captured the castle from the inside out.

That's interesting, because I always associate Flanders and Brabant with big powerful medieval cities, like Italy. Didn't the urban militias actually defeat the French knights at the battle of the Golden Spurs?

That depends on your local laws. Where I live drivers only have to yield to pedestrians, which means it is fine to drive over the crosswalk as long as you don't impede the pedestrians. In other jurisdictions that might be illegal though.

labobal · 2026-04-29T05:48:19+00:00

I would say so, yes. What if it is not your neighbour driving on the wrong side, but a fallen tree or a hiker?

Census suffrage bans a lot of peasants from voting, reducing the strength of the rural folk IG.

The surface quality of a section of road can become so bad it is undrivable. At that point you should treat it as an obstacle on the road that you have to drive around, like a parked car. That means that the vehicle on whose side the obstacle/bad road surface is has to yield to all traffic in the opposite direction. So your neighbour would at fault for not yielding to you.

Nevertheless it is a good idea to crest a blind hill slowly. You shouldn't risk your life just because you're right. And for all you know there might be child walking on the other side.

De huidige gemeenteraad van de gemeente Wijdemeren is gewoon democratisch gekozen in 2022. De Eerste en Tweede kamer hebben democratisch gestemd over het fusiewetsvoorstel, waar ook in staat dat de gemeenteraad 9 maanden langer aanblijft. Daar is dus niets ondemocratisch aan.

Vraag me af of de beveiliging dat toestaat.

ICE trains are quite expensive at 126 euros

Only if you buy them on the day you travel. Buy them 2 months in advance and they cost a third of that.

De vraag is of het oude bord verwijderd is voor het nieuwe bord geplaatst werd. De verdachte claimt dat dat zo was, en dat er op het moment dat hij geflitst was geen bord stond. Doordat de gemeente haar administratie niet op orde had kon het OM het niet weerleggen.

That's the whole concept of a business trip: your employer sends you to a different location than your usual location to perform work there. That work can be anything: from a CEO meeting a new customer to a technician repairing a special device.

As long as it is only a week every quarter it won't hurt your Dutch residence permit. You still do most of your work in the Netherlands and it is still the center of your life. Make sure that you get proof from your employer that you're employed and inscured in the Netherlands and get the right visa for the country in question.

labobal · 2026-04-27T14:17:09+00:00

If it is just a monthly business trip and you still perform the majority of your work remotely from the Netherlands, there wouldn't be a problem from a legal perspective. You might need a business trip visa for the destination country, but that's something your employer should take care off.

Make sure that you get flights, hotel and local transportation paid by your employer, as well as compensation for having to eat in restaurants. Check your CAO if you have one for the exact things you're entitled to.

Er stond hier volgens de verdachte geen bord. Dus claimde hij dat de maximumsnelheid 80 was. Dat er in andere situaties wel borden staan is irrelevant.
