I'm not into partying and going out anymore, so no surprise you showed a lot of places I never heard of, despite only living a short distance away. Good to see you seemed to be reasonably comfortable interviewing people :o). Hope you'll have a wonderful 2024.
I'm with you on this. Thank you for watching and commenting. It was still outside of my comfort zone but I think this one went smoother than the video of interviewing people in Amsterdam :P Have a beautiful 2024 too! ✨🙌
Dropping some of my faves: I love Bobby's and Mangiare in Kleineberg, Trafalgar pub in Dommelstraat, Downtown Gourmet Market and Sissyboy's little cafe upstairs!
Just down the road from Eindhoven is the village of Veldhoven. A company called ASML is located there. This is the most important company in the world. It produces the machines that produce 90% of the top end microchips in the world
Yeah, while I understand what a lot of people think of Eindhoven (ugly, industrial, not historical), I tend to disagree. It has been bombed during the war, and then quickly rebuilt to accommodate the expansion of Philips and other industries. The history therefore is very interesting, and you can see and follow this history with the city's architecture. Maybe indeed not the most interesting place for tourists, especially if you would like to visit a more idyllic, charming place while traveling. For this, stick to Maastricht, Utrecht, Haarlem, Leiden, etc. But for living, or for visiting if you already live elsewhere in the NL, Eindhoven offers many interesting sites and great quality of life. Extremely walkable city, 2nd greenest in the NL, and offers everything you might need. After almost 9 years here, I still think it's an extremely pleasant place to live.

Eindhoven is (and was) the center of Dutch technology. Like Silicon Valley. It's a very important city even worldwide. Maybe once you're finished eating and drinking, you could look into that.
@@theselfishcodependent No thanks necessary. Love will always find the way of least resistance. Like water. But checking the link, yeah. You did look into that.
I'm 54 and my wife and I are VERY worried about our future, gas and food prices rising daily. We have had our savings dwindle with the cost of living into the stratosphere, and we are finding it impossible to replace them. We can get by, but can't seem to get ahead. My condolences to anyone retiring in this crisis, 30 years nonstop just for a crooked system to take all you worked for.
I feel your pain mate, as a fellow retiree, I’d suggest you look into passive index fund investing and learn some more. For me, I had my share of ups and downs when I first started looking for a consistent passive income so I hired an expert advisor for aid, and following her advice, I poured $30k in value stocks and digital assets, Up to 200k so far and pretty sure I'm ready for whatever comes.
@@FlorentGulliver The crazy part is that those advisors are probably outperforming the market and raising good returns but some are charging fees over fees that drain your portfolio. Is this the case with yours too?
@@theselfishcodependent Pizzeria La Vita è Bella, Frank eten en drinken or Ethiopian restaurant Asmara! It's painful when we have restaurants like these, ran by families, and all these people in the video still go to the chain slop and call it "secrets" or "underrated"
@@SpawnBootcamp strange laughing at the German pronunciation, when I find it rather strange that many Dutch speak English using the grammar of their own language.
I have been a resident for 23 years. I don't like this city at all. It's a shame I'm broke, because I'd have moved to a different city or even country. Boring, lifeless city full of wankers
@@PH61a that’s the problem, I have been in cities in every continent, there’s little real beauty in Eindhoven. The Philips factories are fine, but it’s a stretch to say the city is in anyway beautiful. On top of that, traffic is heavy, lot of flights and so, the air is not great either, sorry to burst your bubble, but if you think it’s a little beauty, that’s ok with me. It’s rather stupid to imply that I have not been to many cities.

Beautiful! I share the perspective that Eindhoven might not be the first place that comes to mind for tourism but for living, it's very comfortable. 🙏

Everybody just recommending chain restaurants and cafe's which aren't anything special related to Eindhoven T_T
@@danielhuisman1996 which ones would you recommend, if you are from Eindhoven?

love us or leave us
FC Eindhoven 🔵⚪️🔵⚪️
The Dutch people speak very fluent broken English, I think the Germans now speak better English
Do you sink so?
@@SpawnBootcamp I always think so
Germans suck at speaking English lol
@HankJones-l5l they aren’t they are fluent in poor English, their grammar sucks
@@SpawnBootcamp strange laughing at the German pronunciation, when I find it rather strange that many Dutch speak English using the grammar of their own language.

7 years and you don't speak dutch?
Hoe ben je tot die conclusie gekomen?
Engels spreken in video's trekt meer views .. 👌🏼
@@theselfishcodependentprobably because your English is terrible. Eindhoven is better off without you.
Ugliest City I know
love us or leave us
@@hoeven4258 Typical option when criticised
Only people from Eindhoven love Eindhoven
Well then it's obvious that you haven't been in many cities! Stupid remark!
