The Germans are big on trying to "digitalize paper work" - they do try, but then there are others (Act on Proof is the Directive (EU) 2019/1152 on transparent and predictable working conditions in the European Union ("Directive") adopted by the European legislator, which the German legislator must transfer into national law by 1 August 2022.) who think having everything related to employment contracts still works best when everything is printed out on dead trees; it's called the "Nachweisgesetz" - if employers not put new contracts (from August 2022 onwards) in paper they can be fined. So my employer, who was fully digitalised, has to go back to paper printed contracts.
Who wins with this really?

Things to Do with Kids in and around Düsseldorf, Germany

Since we became parents we have been faced the challenge of finding fun things to do with our kid. So Erica has been collecting a rather big list of places to see and things to do in and around Düsseldorf. We wanted to share with friends, but the list is probably useful for anyone with children; so here we go.

The page will probably update from time to time.

The Conrad store in is closing on February 15th. Another victim of how unfair competition from web shops and rental cost pressure is destroying physical stores. I’m not sure how many people lose their jobs; For me a joy disappears as I loved going through the store looking for cool new things.

Today’s temperature in Duesseldorf will be 9°C for basically the whole day. Haven’t seen such a stable temperature prediction ever.
