Founded in 963, Luxembourg became a grand duchy in 1815 and an independent state under the Netherlands. It lost more than half of its territory to Belgium in 1839, but gained a larger measure of autonomy. Full independence was attained in 1867. Overrun by Germany in both World Wars, it ended its neutrality in 1948 when it entered into the Benelux Customs Union and when it joined NATO the following year. In 1957, Luxembourg became one of the six founding countries of the European Economic Community (later the European Union), and in 1999 it joined the euro currency area. To be updated

Luxembourg, D-7 days... Europe » Luxembourg

Metz - Lille
The St. Symphorien stadium...

I've been back in Luxembourg for a few weeks now. Left York mid-December after I finished working on "The Christmas Miracle of Jonathan Toomey". Apparently, it's gonna be the best Christmas film of 2007, so make sure you go and see it! :oP So yeah, 8 days left and I just wanted to test one last thing: pictures!!! I'm gonna be taking loads of those in the next few months, so I better know how to show them to you guys! :oD You'll find photos and (hopefully) videos from Metz - Lille (3rd Round Coupe de France football game), in which [View Full Entry]

Luxemburg City - Day 47 Europe » Luxembourg » Luxembourg City

Zoom Zoom
Nice car. Not too surprised to see it parallel parked here.

The train over from Namur was pretty peaceful until we got to the border with Luxemburg. Just before the border, the conductors came around and told those of us in the back few cars that we needed to move forward, as the train was going to leave some cars behind at the last station in Belgium. I grabbed my stuff and moved to the car they had said to go to. As I sat down, I discovered that I had arrived in the under-20 rebel-without-a-cause car. It was full of smoking (banned on the train, but they didn't seem to care), [View Full Entry]

After Brugges I caught a train to Brussels, then on to Luxembourg. There was nothing in particular I wanted to see, basically purpose of the trip was to cross another country off the list. The train ride from Brussels was quite pleasant, passing through quite a few villages along the way. It was quite cheap and took approx 2.5 hours to get there. You can easily see Luxembourg in a day. It was a beautiful sunny day and I had a great time walking around and exploring the city. I stayed overnight and what must surely be the world's cleanest hostel! [View Full Entry]

Small in size, big in stature Europe » Luxembourg » Luxembourg City

A city on many levels
The elevational spectrum was quite staggering

Luxembourg is a small country. After crossing the border (which is the type of border crossing I like, at about 130km/h) we spent the next 15 minutes getting to the centre of the country, both geographically and politically. Luxembourg City maybe the capital but it has not a large city feel. You could almost confuse it for a average town if it were not for the amazing hisotry and sights. As we drove through the city, we got to the end of the highest point of town when the land disappears and valleys carves out the skyline. As an important city [View Full Entry]

Brussels & Luxembourg Europe » Luxembourg » Luxembourg City

Arrived in Brussels to a regional airport that was about an hour away from the city centre. Luckily they had a bus that ran to the city every hour. I hopped on it and made it to the centre at about 5pm. The first mission for me was to find a place to stay since i'd arrived without booking a room. Still as organised as ever. I visited the tourist office which i knew booked rooms for free, and they found a hostel for me quite easily. I found it and as luck would have it, it had its own bar. [View Full Entry]

Winding down.... Europe » Luxembourg » La Rochette

Tomek & me
Myself and Tomek (Polish guy who works in the Snack Bar on the site) at one of the camp fires.

Long time, no write! I guess I've been caught up in the high season here. Well, that is quite definatley over now and the weather is too. We've been having positivley crappy English weather here for a few weeks now, and that has only served to shorten the season - as I write, the heavens have opened again. A lot of sitting around is being done, hence I have the will once again to write in my blog! The students I told you about in the last entry have pretty mcuh all left now and life is once again quiet. Thanks [View Full Entry]

Woah… a red fauxhawk-mullet?! We must be in Europe. Europe » Luxembourg

Cheers!
My first beer in Europe. Wasn’t bad actually. One of my goals on this trip is to learn to like beer…classy, I know. Not that skanky American stuff though… I don’t think I’ll ever be that much of a ... [more]

Well, after spending a month at home having adventures with family and friends, (the likes of which included a super-soaking rocket-launching car, the Testicle Festival in Andrew, my very first drag show, and another tattoo) …Heather and I are finally becoming settled into life in Germany. Heather has good family friends in Luxembourg, so before coming to base for student teaching we spent about a week with them exploring Luxembourg and Belgium. We had reservations at this neat youth hostel in Brugge, Belgium, so Heather, Pascal (family friend), Zahree (Pascal’s frie [View Full Entry]

Kwai Chang Caine a.k.a. Grasshopper
the hitch-hiker who rode with us from Blois to Luxembourg

Tired and homesick after the freak storm in Blois, with both of Zak's hands now suffering from Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, plus tennis-elbow, golf-elbow, and now even claw-hand and trigger-finger in the mornings, we had decided to head home as fast as we could. We drove from Blois through to Luxembourg, hoping to make it into Germany, through ever changing weather, rain-sunshine-rain-sunshine... We had picked up a hitchhiker, a grasshopper from Blois, and Zak named him KwaiChang Caine, after the TV series of the 70s called Kung Fu, which starred David Carradine as a character who was kno [View Full Entry]

Luxembourg City, Luxembourg Europe » Luxembourg » Luxembourg City

Luxembourg City

(August 16th through the 18th 2005) I left a sunny Paris behind in the early afternoon. I was a bit excited, since this was my first time travelling by myself in a foreign land. The train ride was quiet, and went smoothly into Luxembourg. Arriving--I don't know if it was due to the dark weather outside that had change during my ride, or the environs of the train station and the buildings in front of it--I thought to myself, 'I thought I was going to Luxembourg, not Eastern Europe." Well, that soon went away as I made my way to the [View Full Entry]

The Dutch are coming!!! Europe » Luxembourg » Nommern

Well, here we go - the High season is upon us and the madness has already begun. The site is set to go from a pretty meagre 250 people upto around 3000 within a week - that means a 1200% increase in workload for us! Pass op, mijne damen en heeren - de Nederlanders komen! I manage a bar on the campsite and, in general, the customers are pretty well behaved, save for the odd drunken scuffle or general rowdiness. That is normally the preserve of high season when we have DJs from 'the city' here and it all gets a [View Full Entry]
