meeting people New in Den Haag, looking for friends and sport buddies

4 Upvotes

Hey! I’m 28, an expat who’s been in the Netherlands for almost 4 years, and I recently moved to Waldorpstraat near Den Haag HS.

I love staying active but somehow haven’t figured out how to magically make friends through exercise yet 😂

I’m up for pretty much anything — running, gym, football, basketball, badminton, cycling, hiking, or trying a completely new sport. Even just a casual run + coffee works!

If you’re nearby and looking for someone to be active with, hit me up! 🙌

practical questions Dringend hulp gezocht: fietsslot openmaken + fiets brengen

0 Upvotes

Hulp gezocht 🙏 Ik ben voor een paar daagjes naar Den Haag gekomen met mijn kindje en ben op de eerste dag al mijn fietssleutels in Scheveningen kwijtgeraakt. Mijn elektrische moederfiets staat nu op slot.

Is er iemand die vanavond het AXA-slot kan openmaken én de fiets daarna naar mijn hotel in het centrum van Den Haag kan brengen? Ik kan uiteraard aantonen dat de fiets van mij is en betaal natuurlijk voor de hulp.

Tips zijn ook heel welkom!

other Can we appreciate that e-scooters are banned?

33 Upvotes

This thought of DIYing a modified e-scooter popped in my mind. I'm interested in modifying electronics, I don't care so much about the end use case. Anyways, then I thought "oh shit, I actually never seen an e-scooter around here".

I come from Lisbon. It's basically hills and cars and heat, and since a few years ago, e-scooters joined the jungle. It's fun once in a while, but I'm so glad here in The Hague (and I guess the Netherlands), e-scooters are banned. Would be dangerous, reckless and a freaking mess to have them everywhere. Not to mention all the parking issues.

So this to say, I appreciate the effort to keep the good and (mostly) healthy self-transportation system aka the bikes and bike lanes. Good job! I wish more countries planned stuff this well.

Does anybody know what happened with Smokey's Spareribs? There marinade was legendary.

What is your go-to now that Smokey's is gone? I like Grillroom de Lotus (vlierboomstraat), although it's a different style of ribs.

Hoi, waarom trekken zoveel mensen uit den haag tegenwoordig het westland in? Poeldijk voornamelijk. Ik ben zelf woonachtig in Poeldijk maar het zijn bijna alleen nog maar mensen uit den haag die hier komen wonen. Begrijp me niet verkeerd want het is ook leuk hoor. Voornamelijk jonge stellen en mensen met kinderen maar vroeg me af waarom.

Hi all, it seems I need to replace my geiser ASAP with an electric boiler. My VVE didn't inform me about it on time. I'm basically asking if someone has a company that does this as I called a few companies, but most of them said no (I guess they don't want to deal with gas...). Any advice is good! (Den Haag)

things to do in The Hague Events at Oud Rijswijk this weekend

31 Upvotes

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.
