This morning I went to the\u00a0Belval Shopping Plaza<\/a>, which is only 12 minutes away from Differdange by train. If you look at TripAdvisor<\/a>, people do not like the Plaza, primarily because not all of the shops are occupied and because there are not many people in the Plaza. One person thought it had a post-apocalyptic feeling (wie aus einem Endzeit-Drama<\/em>). It is true that if you like your shopping to be cheek by jowl with other shoppers, you will not like the Belval Plaza. I personally prefer it when the number of customers is approximately equal to, or even less than, the number of employees. So I liked the Plaza. True, the stores are not very exciting, but they have solid offerings. The Delhaize that anchors the mall is definitely worth the trip from Differdange. Perhaps best of all, the Plaza is attached to the train station by enclosed walkways.<\/p>\n

The walk from the\u00a0Ch\u00e2teau to the train stop (it’s not a station) is very nice. There’s a shortcut to the stop through a park, and on the way home, most of the walk is around this school:<\/p>\n

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

 <\/p>\n

I believe the school was originally a house built by a steel\u00a0magnate, who then decided (or his wife decided) after the house was built not to live in Differdange. Apparently the house has marble floors and whatever else was en vogue among the wealthy a century (I’m assuming) ago. It’s funny to picture pre-schoolers running around in such luxury.<\/p>\n

I was poking around in the\u00a0Ch\u00e2teau’s library today, and what should I see but this:<\/p>\n

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

I have no idea why they have nearly a decade of Arizona Highway<\/em>s, but there it is.<\/p>\n

Oh, and today was the first day of class. And the last day that MUDEC was philosophy class free.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
