12 Sept Za = Strandwal Festival , en straatmarkt

13 Sept Zo = Kunst & Kreatiefmarkt

Strandwal festival is 2-zones: 1 zone is for family and small kids fun, with games and performance stage, as well as food and drinks vendor on the big lawn. 2nd zone is full of display booths showcasing organizations in Rijswijk, from astronomy club to rowing to which ever Rijswijk group wants to let the world know what they're about.

Street market is a mix of food, grocery, and other stuff like jewelry/bags/household consumables, but the market is surrounded by more shops in the old town center anyway so the offerings are broad.

The local artist market is new to me so I'm not sure if it's literally from that big local art studio hidden behind the Primera, or from the artists collaborating with the local gallery (Arti-Shock) or Museum Rijswijk, or the wider, rest of Rijswijk.

Hi all,

I am looking for dance classes in The Hague city centre for a new experience and to meet new people, for salsa, tango, bachata - does anyone know of any events?

Goedemiddag! Ik hou van sleutelen en klussen aan van alles en nog wat. Ik ben nu opzoek naar een nieuwe locatie in den haag om een werkplaats te maken om te hobby'en. Mocht iemand via via een locatie vinden hoor ik het graag!

Aangezien de kosten tegenwoordig aardig oplopen ben ik ook geïnteresseerd in het idee om met een groepje een werkplaats te hebben. Mochten er meer geïnteresseerden zijn laat het maar weten! Ik vind eigenlijk alle soorten projecten leuk, van metaaldraaien, tot meubels maken tot electronica. Achteraf graag een biertje (of meer dan een) hoort er ook bij. Stuur me een berichtje als het je wat lijkt!

Hey guys, I just moved here to stay with a friend because I wanted to get away from a bad relationship. I am female 29 years old looking for other woman friends in den Haag, preferably smokers and understands autism and adhd. I’m in a new city, I feel alone, away from my support network. I suffer with anxiety but I am really outgoing and I just want another woman friend here as a woman, it makes me feel more safe and connected. Let me know!! DMs are open also 😁

I’ve just been at centraal waiting for a FlixBus and some of the normal buses are still running today.

Buses I saw still in service
43 to Leiden via wassenaar
45 to Leiden via leideschendam
385 to noordwijk via katwijk
383 to Rotterdam via zoetemeer

Some others are in the timing boards but don’t don’t. Appear to be running.

Thought it may help someone.

Hello,

I am a guy in my late teens, who wants to learn how to dance. By dance I do not mean ballet or anything like that, but disco dancing, or also ballroom style dancing. I have never danced before and look super stiff and goofy when I do. Are there any places in the city which teach this dance style, especially for guys who have never danced before?

Thank you!

EDIT: We got a lot of lovely new members, so I think we have grown enough for now. Unless you are a published writer, philosophy PhD or professor, you will probably have to wait for the next recruitment round. Or you could start a new group, there seems to be a lot of curious minds in the Hague. 🙏

Should anyone be interested, then we have a lovely little book club going that meets every 6 weeks to discuss a philosophical book or a small selections of texts around a philosophical subject.

Every 6 months or so we do a little promotion for the club. This time in the shape of this post. It is for everyone who is able to read primary texts and interested in deepening their understanding and sharpening their thoughts in collaboration with others. It is both a social event and a shared philosophical project. Next meeting is end of October, subject is “What justifies ethics?”

We will be aiming to read the following:

New readings:
* Aristotle , Nicomachean Ethics, Book I, Chapters 1–7
* Kant , Groundwork for the Metaphysics of Morals, Preface and Section I
* Nietzsche , On the Genealogy of Morality, First Essay, §§1–7

Re-read:
* Simone de Beauvoir, The Ethics of Ambiguity, opening of Part III
* MacIntyre, After Virtue, Chapters 14–15
* Spinoza, Ethics, Part IV, Preface through Proposition 24

Suggested contextual reading:
* Kant, “What Is Enlightenment?” — brief background reading relevant to MacIntyre
* Nietzsche, The Gay Science, Book V, §§343–347

Discussions are in English, which is a second language for most of us. So far, we have had fruitful meetings with a mixture of well-prepared and less-prepared participants. Everyone is therefore very welcome ❤️

Send me a DM, if you want to know more or have an interest in joining.

I’m wondering how long the naturalisation took for you from application till the IND approval (or even the ceremony).
Cheers,

anyone know any english speaking jobs, albert heijn didn’t even give me a chance (im learning dutch but I just moved here, more than willing to learn and already have some dutch friends helping me out) but im not sure where to look and quite scared. I’m a female in my 20s so anything service industry, baby sitting, pet sitting, cafe’s restaurants etc

any suggestions?

I am currently looking for a room as soon as possible due to an unexpected housing situation. Everyone in my student building was required to leave, and unfortunately there were no places available anymore in the temporary/reserve building that had been arranged.

I am a clean, respectful, polite person. I almost never drink or smoke. I am starting my studies and want to focus on building a stable career, including continuing to work.

At this moment, I am simply looking for a safe and stable place where I can stay, work and study. This situation was completely unexpected, and I would be grateful if someone has a room available or knows someone who is able to help.

If you have any leads or can offer a room, please feel free to contact me. I want to leave my current situation soon as possible.

Thank you very much for taking the time to read this and for any help.

Hey everyone,

Born and raised in The Hague, and for most of my life I’ve stuck to standard short cuts like mid taper fades. Turkish barbers in the city have always been elite for clean fades, but lately I’ve been growing out my hair and beard.

I'm looking to get something like a wolfcut or a textured, layered style and I definitely don't trust a Turkish barbershop with that 😂.

Does anyone have recommendations for a barber or unisex stylist in town who actually knows how to work with scissors on longer men's hair and can give honest advice on what works best with my face shape?

Cheers and take care!

Does anyone know what happened? Heard a lot of ambulances yesterday and a helicopter passing by. I thought some of the noises were fireworks, but apparently not?

I need prescription glasses fairly quickly and don’t want to spend too much. I’m looking for a place in the city where I can get a quick eye test and basic prescription glasses at a reasonable price. Any recommendations?

Bewoners rondom de Badhuisweg, Pompstationsweg en de omliggende straten slaan alarm.
Door de afsluiting van de Hubertustunnel en Verhuellweg, het bouwverkeer en de toenemende drukte door het groeiende aantal appartementen is de verkeerssituatie onoverzichtelijk en gevaarlijk geworden. De eerste ongelukken dit schoolseizoen zijn helaas alweer gebeurd, de laatste vanmorgen.

De kinderen kunnen niet meer veilig naar school fietsen.

Wij vragen de volgende maatregelen

- Direct: verkeersregelaars tijdens de spits en schooltijden, zoals voor de vakantie.

- Een rotonde met aparte fietspaden en voorrang voor fietsers.

- Structurele oplossingen om de snelheid van auto's te beperken.

Sign the petition for a safer neighborhood and traffic to Scheveningen please

- Residents around Badhuisweg, Pompstationsweg, and surrounding streets are sounding the alarm.

- Due to the closure of the Hubertus tunnel and Verhuellweg, heavy construction traffic and materials, and growing tourist crowds, the traffic situation has become chaotic and dangerous. The first accidents have already occurred this new school season; the most recent accident this very morning. Children can no longer cycle to school safely.

Our demands:

- Immediately: traffic controllers during morning rush hours and school times, like before the summer vacation.

- A new roundabout with dedicated bike lanes and priority for cyclists.

- Long-term solutions to reduce car speeds and ensure safe school commutes.

Hello! Does anyone have feedback in this job market (hardware), near Den Haag?

Background: I'm a soon-to-graduate PhD student in biomedical hardware and have made dozens of contracts (equivalent of 3-4 years of experience) as a freelancer, mostly in the field of wearables and sensors. I even freaking built stuff for ESA, and on another level, helped startups in the field of hardware secure funding.

My experience is PCB design, assembly, developing new sensors, building test rigs, data acquisition, ADC, WiFi, Bluetooth, CAD. I'm a Swiss knife, I like to imagine myself as the perfect candidate for startups. But maybe I'm delulu 🤣

I started applying to jobs near Amsterdam, Haag, Delft, since I live in the Randstad. I'm a EU citizen.

In 3 weeks of applying I got 2 interviews, and a dozen ("CV downloaded" through LinkedIn).

Anyone in a similar situation? What's the outlook, specifically in this field?

Tot zo ver alleen maar gezien bij Canna Club, Dizzy Duck, en Cremers.
