1.The telephone fee to China is dropping dramatically. Two weeks ago, I bought a telephone card (red lips) with 11 Euro, it was for just 70 minutes. But yesterday, I bought the same one, it is now for 125 minutes. If you know any other kinds of telephone cards are better, please tell us.

3.Yesterday, I went skating in Philips Stadium. It is free for all those holding a TU/e sport center card and your own skating shoes. With the card not no shoes, You pay only 3 Euros - Not too bad. With the card, we may possibly use sports facilities for free in many Eindhoven sports spots.
4.We can borrow books from any Dutch and some Germany university libraries with TU/e or Fantys library cards.
4.If you buy a museum card( 15 euros for those younger than 25, and 25 euros for others) in any Dutch national museum, you can visit any Dutch national museums for free in one year.
5.If you just arrived here as an Post-master, PhD, or Post DOC at TU/e, you have got a chance to get the residence card cost refunded. But it depends on your department.
