Yesterday I was in Luxembourg where all form of public transit is entirely free. There were a ton of buses, the tram was packed, and it felt so great to just be able to go anywhere in the country without worrying. How I wish for the same everywhere else! #luxembourg#publictransit#trains#trams
Pollen in Luxembourg, the birch count is frightening (as I'm allergic, it's not a great time at the moment).
Does anyone know anything about 'standard' pollen concentrations? Do trees release more pollen to increase* their chances of survival in a world in climate crisis?
On Wednesday, I took the #Bruxelles–#Luxembourg line. I got the impression, that this could be a great route for passengers from Belgium to Switzerland, the German Rhine valley and Strasbourg. But it isn't quite, yet.
I think, we have a little 🚨 #CrossBorderRail problem here. Let me explain my thoughts.

In a few days, I'll go from Strasbourg to #Luxembourg City by #train.
For the first part of the travel (Strasbourg — Metz), I'll have, as usual, an e-ticket on my (official SNCF) app. But for the second part (Metz — Luxembourg), I'll have to use a code I received to print (in a train station only, I can't do it at home) the ticket. As Luxembourgian trains are free (yeah 🇱🇺🇱🇺) I fail to understand why I can't have a “normal” ticket.
meet #artist#MarieJoséeKerschen at the #KonschTour in #Vianden, #Luxemburg this weekend on Sunday and Monday. Lots of fascinating artists and ideas on exhibition all over the town. Please boost and share there posts for an exhibition worth visiting in rainy #Luxembourg
My favorites in the first semifinal are: #Croatia, #Finland (NO RULES!!), #Ukraine, #Luxembourg (thank you for that earworm!), #Moldova and #Australia (bits in the Yankunytjatjara language are very much appreciated, spread and keep your culture!). #Eurovision
The Solarpunk short story collection I'm part of has been released yesterday at the biggest bookfair of Luxembourg. It has been a surprising success and I think the first edition will be sold out by the end of today. It's only 100 copies, but it was very hard to gage how big interest would be.
I'm very proud to be part of that first issue and hope I make it into the second one as well...

It's completely free and a lot of stories are in English.
Affordable housing is a key issue as voters go to the polls in Luxembourg on Sunday.
With a population of just 660,000 people, the Grand Duchy is typically considered one of the wealthiest places in the European Union, but it comes at a price for some.
In the capital city, new-build flats sell for 13,000 euros per square metre and older ones go for 10,700 euros per sqm. The average cost of a house is 1.5 million euros.
I'm growing tired of Luxembourg City's poor decisions when it comes to biking and alternatives to cars.
Bikes are not allowed on that side of Monterey's park now, forced on a bike lane that has obstacles every time I use it. This morning was especially dangerous. 😡 #Luxembourg#BikingToWork
Belgium, the Netherlands and Luxembourg will deliver refurbished M113 armored personnel carriers to Ukraine. The number of vehicles is still unknown.
“With this donation we show that we continue to support Ukraine against Russian aggression”, the ministers Ludivine Dedonder (Belgium), Kajsa Ollongren (Netherlands) and Francois Bausch (Luxembourg) report in the statement.
The mats are waiting for today's deep meditation participants. After today, the focus will be on my retreat in Luxembourg. Already 7 participants registered for my meditation in the park session. I'm excited to meet them soon. Fingers crossed for good weather.
