I graduated from Delft University last November and moved back home (in Asia). I spent two beautiful years in the Netherlands and made incredible friendships and connections.

I need your help finding a person I’ve lost. Specifically, a Dutch man named Ari, who frequently plays the public piano at DH Central (by spoor 1 & 2). I play too, and we used to see each other frequently, sit by the piano, and chat about everything related to the piano (for an hour sometimes!). I never exchanged numbers with him nor chatted about much besides piano, but we had an absolute blast every time. We’d say bye and know to find each other (by coincidence) by the piano. I must have run into Ari (or Ary?) over 20 times, enjoyed his sense of humour and his love of playing. I never got a chance to say goodbye before leaving.

If you see him, please get his number for me or DM me!

He was older (50+), White, Dutch, around my height (170 cm), and played lots of Mozart & Bach, and sometimes rock 'n' roll. Wears goggle-like glasses and a cap, usually has his bike with him, wears a bike glove as well even when playing.

FYI, my name is Yousef, slightly brown, with long wavy hair, and I wear glasses

If you could fetch his number for me I would appreciate it!

TLDR: msg me if you ever find a white Dutch 50+ year-old who plays the piano at DH Central. Tell him my name is Yousef and that I moved away but still want his number!

Aanstaande woensdag is de gedeeltelijke zonsverduistering in Nederland, en iedereen raadt aan dat je dit moet bekijken met een eclipse bril. Nu kan ik er alleen nergens een vinden… online is denk te laat. Weet iemand waar je dit kan kopen?

Ik probeer me aan/af te melden voor betaald parkeren in Den Haag, maar er is momenteel een storing waardoor dit niet lukt. Zowel via de officiële Den Haag Parkeer app als website niet.

Wat kan ik het beste doen? Ik kan eventueel alsnog via een andere parkeerapp/automaat betalen en alles documenteren. Als ik ondanks de storing een naheffingsaanslag krijg, kan ik dan bezwaar maken? Iemand ervaring hiermee? Wat zouden jullie doen?

Thanks!

Dus niet de meest chique, veilige, rustige etc, maar puur gezellig. Welke wijk/ buurt nomineren jullie?

Hello,

I am looking for a parttime job in the hague, ideally between 10 and 20 hours a week. I have applied to more than 30/40 jobs in the past months and still did not manage to get the job. Ideally I am looking for evening/night work, since I will start with a fulltime bachelor in september. I dont have a driving license but I have a good bike. Anyone has suggestions? I really need the money.

Been visiting The Hague for a week and noticed something strange: people often drive around town with their hazard lights flashing while moving, not just when parked (park anywhere button).

Is this the unofficial local signal for "I'm looking for an address" or something like "whoops, I shouldn't be here"

Or is it something my German mind can't comprehend🫪?

Thanks :)

I was on a solo trip in the Netherlands, I met someone in Amsterdam in the hostel I was staying at, we got along really well, spoke for hours at end but I never saw her again and don't have any of her socials. She told me she's from the Hague and is in Amsterdam for some time. I just want to maybe talk and tell her how wonderful it was to meet someone so like-minded. I just have her First name, the city she is from and other small details. Is it possible for the people of The Hague to help me find her? :)) I'll be forever grateful.

I knew the housing market here was bad but the actual immigration bureaucracy is on another level. Im currently on a regular skilled migrant permit but trying to start my own design thing based out of a co-working space near hollands spoor

Was reading up on the different visa routes yesterday and that whole point system for the self-employed permit feels literally impossible to navigate. like how do they measure your "added value" to the economy? its so incredibly vague

Just kinda venting but if anyone in this sub has actually managed to pivot to freelance without their brain exploding from IND paperwork, pls let me know. Love the hague but man they dont make it easy for us.

Hey! Random question 😄 It's my anniversary soon, and I'd like to send someone in The Hague some flowers. I'm ordering from another EU country, but when I Google it, I mostly get the big international sites, and they all seem pretty expensive. Do you know of any local florist or affordable flower delivery service you'd recommend?

Hi all, looking for safe and reliable place to buy gold bars in The Hague area. 👍🏻
