As the TR Daily Board, the three of us are constantly on the lookout for the best stories, most interesting interviews and most fascinating articles. Our days are filled with writing, editing and publishing (and a little bit of online shopping here and there), and sometimes we just want a little break from that. And…
Reach For The Stars: A Visit To The Star Observatory
Middelburg is famous for many things; its slave trade, its bolussen and the Lange Jan, but the town was also host to the inventor of the telescope (there’s some debate on who it was, just take a Van Gent course). However, it is because of this invention that Middelburg has its own star observatory, located…
Strike a pose! UCR’s Elliott is hosting a charity fashion show
They might be under stress or in a hurry to make it to their 08:45 class, but they never let UCR’s rushed environment influence their style! I’m talking about Nienke Wind, Nadia Comencia, Amée Zoutberg, Maryna Parfenchuk and Naomi de Vries, who have organized an event for us to see coming week that is both…
Leiden City Guide
Students know it well: there’s only one train track leaving Zeeland and it can take you to many, many great places in the Netherlands – when the train actually goes on time, that is. But when you grow tired of our little town or when you’re yearning for a little adventure, the train leaving Middelburg can…
Expresszo: a Pinterest-worthy place
Expresszo has been one of my favorite places in Middelburg ever since my first semester, due to its consistent quality in food, drinks and service. Also during this visit the two baristas at work were very friendly – so I might be slightly biased. The atmosphere in the bistro does not solely depend on…
Sticky sweet Honeypie
It’s halfway through the first half of the semester and if you still haven’t had a slice of cake to reward yourself for all that hard work you’ve done, now is the time. In a patis-series concerning places to eat cake, we obviously couldn’t leave out our well-loved HoneyPie. HoneyPie is a teahouse located between…
Cuisine Machine 2016: Bitterballs, beer and bouncy castles
Maybe you’ve noticed the bright yellow posters hanging all around Middelburg or perhaps you’ve read Yonna’s recommendation here at Tabula RASA, but last weekend Cuisine Machine took place. One of the biggest food truck festivals of the Netherlands popped up in the Machinefabriek in Vlissingen, an industrial landmark situated right in the harbour. For three…
Upcoming: Cuisine Machine @ Vlissingen
One of my favorite ways to spend my free time is at a food festival, but sadly most of them take place outside Zeeland. Luckily for you Cuisine Machine’s got you sorted, because this weekend they’ll take over the industrial heart of Vlissingen! And although it’s only Tuesday, I’m sure you’re already looking forward to…
Not My Cup Of Tea – Coffee At Robuust!
Week 3 has arrived and with it the first deadlines, exams, and stress. In the second edition of the patis-series, we will take you to the place where you can keep both your social and academic fishes happy, and your sweet tooth as well: Robuust! Robuust! is by far the most hipster café in…
“De Juf” Schools Us on Delicious Cakes
Even though it is only Week 2, with all the work that you have to do it feels like Week 12, and sometimes you just deserve a break. How lovely binge-watching all of the new season of Narcos seems, sometimes actually going outside is way more rewarding. In this new patis-series we’ll (re)introduce you to…
Romi Cage & Rondé at Zeeland Nazomerfestival 2016
Summer is slowly but surely coming to an end and that means it’s yet again time for the Zeeland Nazomerfestival. Every year in those final weeks of August, the Abbey Square in Middelburg is transformed into one of the most beautiful festival locations of the Netherlands. Tonight is full of sensitive, but very wayward, pop…
