Hey, Gummi. I was in Lux this weekend. 

 

Gorgeous little place! A shame that it took me more than two years to actually do a trip to there. 

 

Things look really well run and it doesn't have that griminess that Belgium sometimes has.

Where did you stay?

 

Should have let me know.

Was just a quick weekend getaway. We stayed in Consdorf and walked some of the Mullerthal trail on Saturday. Yesterday we headed to Lux City and just walked around town a bit. 

 

We'll definitely be coming back in the winter, so I'll give you a shout then. 

 

As luck would have it, a recruiter actually contacted me via LinkedIn regarding a position at one of the Big 4 in Lux.

Yeah Mullerthal is a little gem [emoji106]

 

Did you get to the waterfall?

 

That's a very fortunate position to be in [emoji6][emoji106]Are you going to take it?

Yeah. Stopped by there. 

 

 

Still early days. Only initial contact via LinkedIn/. I have a call with the recruiter on Tuesday. 

 

Without spamming this thread: how did you deal with the language challenges. I know little French and German, so was wondering how big of an issue it it.

Nice

To think that there are people that live here that have never seen that or been to Little Switzerland.

 

Depends on the company.If it's a French company then you'll need it to chat to colleagues in the office but with most others English is ok.

I am doing Lux lessons for citizenship at the moment.I get by with basic french and English.

My kids speak read and write in English(first language),French (second language) as extra German and Luxembourgish with friends.

Be PROUD, be VERY, very proud - to be an African, a South African and a Capetonian! The brand spanking new Museum of Contemporary Art Africa, in the old grain silos in the Waterfront, is absolutely stupendous! The architecture, and the way they used the old silos, created a sculpture in its own right. The art from all over Africa is something to be proud of and the way the whole thing was put together is as good as anything I have seen anywhere on earth! If you are at all interested in modern art, or you just have an open mind, GO! (I don't know about bike parking, but saw a nicely restored Hansom chained to the railings outside the front door.)

 

Edit: That's what I did to celebrate Heritage day, after I rode my bike yesterday!

This weekend was free (for Heritage day). The place was packed, and not just with your usual stereotypical arty crowd! 

 

My contact told me that they are going to have free entries for part of every Wednesday.

Thanks! Team Slowbee's have next Wednesday off and we intend visiting during school holidays.
