Why does everyone move house when they are pregnant? Uprooting and moving to a new country, away from all your support systems seems like a daft idea yet that seems to be a surprisingly common situation to find yourself in on arriving in Luxembourg; bun in the oven, new country, new languages, new health system […]

The snow and cold temperatures seem to stay in the Grand Duchy, but we still have to keep going on with our daily routines. However, driving in the snow may become quite challenging, especially if you come from a snowfree country. If your car gets stuck in some way, forcing you and your family to […]

Did you know that in January 1889, around 300 Luxembourgers emigrated to Argentina? Luxemburger Wort thought it was heartbreaking to see the little children being taken away from their homes. Or that when an emigrant returned to Luxembourg from the USA to visit, the same newspaper reports that the news spread like wildfire in the village […]

CLEW is at a bit of a loss here. Not that you can’t find nice clothes in Lux, but where are the special boutiques, and the feelgood factor…? Machines like H&M don’t provide that feeling, neither does the staff in certain places (quite the contrary, CLEW dares say). Or, as the local boulangère says it: “Toutes ces enseignes de luxe – il n’y a […]
Another place, another time

There are places in town that will take you elsewhere… Cinemathèque, Place du Théâtre. A time travel, already when you enter the building and walk up the beautiful stairs to watch a classic movie. Even the cashier seems to belong to some other time. Cinema Paradiso for children Sundays at 15.00, open air cinema in […]
