Guess what I did today? Yep. Graded papers and taught class. BUT\u2026I also got ready to go to the\u00a0Minist\u00e8re des Affaires Etrang\u00e8res with all my paperwork for obtaining my\u00a0Residency Permit (or as they call it my\u00a0titre de s\u00e9jour<\/em>). I also walked to the nearby town of\u00a0Niederkorn. I had seen this abandoned house from the bus and wanted a closer look.<\/p>\n

This is their train station.<\/p>\n

\"Niederkorn<\/a><\/p>\n

To judge by the railway company’s web site, they now use a platform<\/a> somewhere else, which doesn’t look near as nice as this station.<\/p>\n

I walked along the main road to\u00a0Niederkorn but was able to get back to Differdange via backroads, which I had not anticipated\u2014and I’m not sure I could do again intentionally. Once again the internet claimed their was a bakery where there was not. I have all but given up on using maps here.<\/p>\n

While we’re on the subject of the CFL’s web site, here’s a pro tip. Do not use the English portion of the site, at least when looking up a particular itinerary. The site doesn’t convert English formatted dates into European formatted dates. Depending on what date you’re looking at, you could be shown, say, the schedule for October 9th when you entered September 10th. In most cases this won’t make a difference, but if you’re looking up the schedule for Sunday but are shown Wednesday’s schedule, you will be in for an unpleasant surprise when you get to the station.<\/p>\n

Pro tip #2: get their iPhone app<\/a>. Their web site is by no means difficult to use, but this is even quicker if you just want to catch a local train.<\/p>\n
