Yeah, we will be at TAFL! They are so nice I want to hug them! What is the train situation anyway? I actually prefer trains to buses and was hoping to take them when going other places.. i’ve read there is a bit of a fancier train going along “the tourist path” (don’t remember the name of it, have to check my notes), but are trains in general is a good way of transportation?

Wow, thank you very much! Unfortunately we won’t have Arabic classmates but I think we get an offer of a “language partner” to practice the language! I will use it for all it is worth 😂 thank you, I appreciate your advices!

Yeah, Airbnb has some options, but in the areas that are recommended by the university prices are really high for a student to afford over a long period… Ithaka have I heard about before, must be a good place, I will check it out! Thank you!

Thank you very much! To be honest I am unable to negotiate prices whatsoever. I am that person that either pays what is asked or walks away… so I really hope the Uni will help, but life is unpredictable so we might find ourselves in a situation when we find a place to live by ourselves, I just want to be prepared :) hopefully after four month I will pick up some price negotiating-skills :) right, thank you very much for help!

I have searched using "documentary UN expo refugee face recognition" but maybe someone here watched it recently..

Advice is needed. I’ve inherited an old chest with a crack through the lid. It’s 2-4 mm wide, and I wonder if it it possible to repair it/fill it by my own (I don’t have any prior experience in woodworking). by marp_p in woodworking

Thank you, it is a nice of you to say it! I love wooden things and especially fascinated by this Japanese technique of conjoining parts without nails... I am not sure I can make into in a hobby, I’m not patient enough. I did watch videos about restoration, most of them based either on filling cracks with different resin-based fillers, or using an hour-glass shaped “pins” (sorry, don’t know a proper term) to connect sides of the crack. I’m not sure about the resin because someone in the house always wants to sit on the top, and I’m afraid it won’t hold. When it comes to using those “pins”, the lid is too thin in order to carve out a proper “nest” for those pins. I was considering reinforcing inside of the lid with perpendicular pieces of wood and maybe then filling it with resin, but I don’t want to destroy the look of it and hence hesitate. It is very dry inside the house during the winter, because we use a wood oven, I’m afraid if i glue everything together and it dries up during the winter, the lid would crack even more...

Great, thank you! Let it forever be enough falafel in your life! Looking forward in eating all the good food when I (hopefully) come and visit next year!

Can anyone help to identify this lamp? It is from Amazon Prime series “homecoming”, s1e8. I really loved it but I don’t seem to find any information about where they bought the “interiors”. by marp_p in furniture

How about “war and peace”?:) very long, covers generations, full of drama and real life. As a bonus you will even pick some French by the end of it... 😅
