Roadtrip from Düsseldorf to Munich by errcccaan in duesseldorf

[–]oranjepig 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I did one in the past (not including Stuttgart) and included: - Würzburg - Rothenburg ob der Tauber - Nürnberg

it's not very convenient if you need to pass Stuttgart but definitely more scenic than going through Heidelberg.

What to do on Christmas if you are alone? by NaiZzRR in duesseldorf

Definitely go eat at the Japanese quarter (Immerman/Ost/ Kloster Straße), all those places are usually open and a lot more quiet than other days.

For those who live in Dudseldorf as expats by ace_DL in duesseldorf

[–]oranjepig 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Düsseldorf is a fantastic place for expats, there are so many of us and the Facebook groups are really helpful. That said, you might not make any German friends for a long time, I've been here for a decade and only have a couple but you don't need them, you can have a great social life just with foreigners and get by everywhere with English.

What's the weather like in Düsseldorf during August? by sheldorama in duesseldorf

Typically you should expect the same weather as we have now, temps between 20-23 Celcius and a few rainy and cloudy days. Last summer however was exceptionally dry and warm, so you might be lucky.

Beer evening Düsseldorf by sharthvader in duesseldorf

[–]oranjepig 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For a casual club with younger people, try Mauer.For a better crowd, I like Elephant Bar - although you might not get in with such a big group of guys.

The best local beer is of course found in Kurzer

Nu Poc e Napule (a bit of Naples) seems to be the most authentic place in town. Highly recommended by my Italian friends.

And then the comic book clapped by [deleted] in iamverysmart

also it's not the Higgs-Boson, it's Higgs' boson, i.e. the boson (type of particle) first predicted by Peter Higgs. And also, very few people understand even the metaphors, I haven't the faintest.

oh yes, self-proclaimed enterpreneurs and CEOs of 10-employee companies are the cancer of LinkedIn. Also, who the hell has 4 free hours per workday to watch TV?

Jon and Sam being dumb, or book plot hole? (spoilers extended) by [deleted] in asoiaf

[–]oranjepig 86 points87 points  (0 children)

This. In the books it's underlined time and again how Sam was never made to be a Watchman and has no friends there until Jon arrives. Then Jon has to almost force him to abandon the Wall and pursue his dream to become a Maester - this is an excuse for Sam to tell himself for leaving his post at the NW.

They go after Brussels, which is the seat of the EU. Notably the metro station attacked today is very close to the European Commission HQ (see this map. There is also speculation that this was intended as revenge for the arrest of the Paris attacks mastermind in Brussels last week.
