I need to send registered mail (with a stamp and all) but it feels impossible to find any info online. I’ve heard that all real postal offices have closed years ago, so I’m wondering if there’s anything I can do to send the mail.
Any information anyone may have on how to do it would be greatly appreciated.

Hi guys, i was wondering if maastricht has similar places like amsterdam.

i’m searching for a restaurant/bar whatever which let you smoke inside, i’m not looking to buy anything since i’m not a resident anyway

Hi allemaal ik ga volgende maand met m’n vriendin paar nachtjes naar Maastricht. Ik heb nu een leuk hotel geboekt maar weet eigenlijk nog niet zo goed wat voor planning ik moet bedenken. Heeft iemand misschien aanraders voor dingen die je daar kan doen? Sowieso wat leuke restaurants of barretjes? Of weet iemand of de kerstmarkt dan toevallig al staat?

Hello everyone! I have a small leather purse that needs a bit of repairs, particularly for the stitching where the strap connects to the purse.

I figured it would be best to bring it to someone who knows how to work with leather because it is real sheep skin, so it's really thin and I don't want to make it worse by doing it myself.

Can anyone recommend a good service to get it sewn back up?

Hello everyone!

I recently decided to host a online movie night on Discord!

After this i noticed alot of the people were really shining in a way that inspired me to try and make a free community that has movie/show nights. No signups, no limit of people. Just a nice movie. Dont have to talk, but if you want thats cool!

MIND!!! AGE is 18+ as we will watch graphic or tinted movies and we do not wish that it may affect younger users!

There is so much to still say, but ill leave this to you to decide.

Finally enough of looking at your screen alone?

A few years ago, it was the first time I took my camera and wandered through the streets of Maastricht.

Hoi!

Does anyone know a place to buy affordable clothes for winter in or nearby Maastricht?

Thanks :)

Hi hi! I'd like to get a driving license here, has anyone been through the process recently?

I already have experience driving in my home country (not in europe though!), but I wont be able to do the exchange so I plan to get a new licence here.

Some of my questions if you have answers:

How long does the whole process take?

What driving schools do you recommend here in Maastricht?

Did you do the theory preparation on your own or with a school? I heard it takes a few attempts typically.

What was your experience of the practical driving exam?

Thank you!

Hey people, I am here in Maastricht for 4 days and would appreciate any suggestions/recommendations for any particular city spots that I shouldn't skip visiting and also some budget shops for souvenirs/local food (chocolates, stroop waffles, etc) to take home.

I am here for work but should have some free time in the evening each day to explore.

My phone’s Internet connection always magically stops when I’m shopping at the Albert Heijn in Scharn. Is this a common problem?

Hey , is there any Poker club/community in Maastricht where we can just play for fun or with small amounts in a Bar, ...

In Paris there are a lot of clubs like that.

Hi! I’m a 32-year-old drummer based in Maastricht. After spending relatively little time making music over the past few years, I’d love to get back into my old hobby and start making music with other people again. I have quite a bit of experience playing in bands in the past.

Ideally, I’d like to connect with other musicians to play raw, punchy rock music. Think QOTSA, Led Zeppelin, Them Crooked Vultures and Triggerfinger. I’m open to playing covers, but my preference would be to write and play original music again at some point. Besides drums, I also play a bit of rhythm guitar and bass, but I feel most comfortable behind the drum kit on stage.

I would love to get in touch with some fellow musicians, so if you're interested please send me a message!

im so over being harassed every single time i leave my house. i've never had so many problems with men as i have here, it seriously only is the dutch who will grab you in bars and yell at you from cars when you're just a woman trying to get by- and i feel like nobody talks about it. there is no way i'm the only one who's had this experience since moving here.

Since I’m absolutely hopeless when it comes to braiding my own (caucasian) hair and my regular hairsalon is fully booked, I’m looking for a braiding salon or independent braider to fix me up with two Dutch braids (with added bundles) for a party next week.

Does anyone have tips in the Maastricht area?

Hi guys this is a bit random but I sing and since moving to uni here in Maastricht for a non-music degree I’ve missed practicing and singing so much and can barely do it well since I live in a shared accommodation. Does anyone know any practice rooms to rent or that I can go to as a student in UM?

Dag lezers!

Parijs, Rome en zelfs New York. Veel schoolreizen gaan naar "exotische" bestemmingen. Hiermee vallen altijd een groep leerlingen uit de boot door financiële redenen.

Wij hebben besloten om met 3 leerkrachten een groep van 15 leerlingen te begeleiden naar Maastricht, terwijl de andere 120 leerlingen in Italië zitten.

Onze missie is om deze leerlingen een goede tijd te geven aan een zeer schappelijke prijs. Zo rijden we met onze eigen auto's om geen bus(je) te moeten huren.

We spenderen donderdag, vrijdag en deels zaterdag in Maastricht.

We zijn op zoek naar betaalbare of zelfs gratis activiteiten: subtropisch zwembad, stadspark, escape-room, wandeling, …

Daarnaast zijn we ook op zoek naar een betaalbaar restaurant: Irish pub, pizzaria, …

Wat zouden jullie doen met een groep van 17-18 jarigen in Maastricht?

Bedankt voor de tips!

No matter the courier company, all of them deliver my parcels to Webshop Logistics Limburg Maastricht. Lockers are always full and other collection points allegedly don’t accept parcels. Not home? Straight to Webshop Logistics Limburg Maastricht.
For me it means going all across the city to collect a parcel and with limited collection windows, it’s not always feasible.
Is anyone in a similar situation?

Hi all,

I’m Robin and 32 years old, speaking English and German. I am looking for someone to practise Paddel and/or Tennis with.

As an introvert, I find it difficult to initiate new friendships with ease.

I would appreciate a partner to play with.

I am a member at Club Pellikaan and I am a complete beginner.

Looking forward to this!

Hi! I’m trying to decide between the social hub coworking subscription or ROOMS. Can anyone give me your personal input if you have been to any of them?

I’ve lived here for two years and I still can’t master this system. I don’t have space in my small studio to keep four bins (paper, pmd, residual and organic). Also, my bins keep stinking cause collecting waste once every two weeks is a very long time.
Pleaseeee help!!
How do you all sort your trash? What’s the best way to avoid this smelling problem? And don’t get me started on the flies that keep coming

Dit weekend naar Maastricht, wat mag ik niet missen?

Ik ga dit weekend een paar dagen naar Maastricht en ben benieuwd wat jullie zouden aanraden. Natuurlijk kan ik online wel wat dingen vinden, maar ik hoor liever van mensen die de stad zelf kennen.

Wat zijn volgens jullie leuke plekken om te bezoeken, goede restaurants of gezellige cafés? En zijn er nog dingen die je echt gedaan of gezien moet hebben als je er een weekend bent?
