Very impactful documentary

This documentary is filmed by a person working in a Russian school. He films the daily events of the school, and the changes in the school that are mandated by the government after the invasion in Ukraine.

This documentary is so good because the story is told with video of regular days and events at the school. The maker of the videos also films himself and expresses his thought.

I highly recommend watching this documentary, to understand how indoctrination works, and in what dilemmas people are put.

I do not like the poster of this documentary at all, it is incomparable to how good the documentary itself is.

Good Thai food with many vegan options

Come on in is a Thai restaurant with a good selection of craft beers. This food place is located in a very nice quiet area in The Hague.

For many dishes you can choose the protein you want, like tofu, vegan chicken, chicken, beef or shrimps.

I went for the green curry with vegan chicken, which was very good.

The staff is very friendly.

Abuses staff

This pizzeria has been fined for €25.000 for abusing staff. A cleaner said he earned €2.50 per hour and he worked 70 to 80 hours a week. There are also signals that this pizzeria leaves negative reviews for competitors according to the Dutch newspaper Het Parool. Source: https://archive.is/UuhOZ.

Excellent vegan Korean & Japanese takeaway shop

De Patchka is a originally a take away shop, but they have also a few tables inside. De Patchka is not a restaurant and has no WC.
I like the food that comes in a box when taking away a lot. It is pretty salty, but I like that. You can also get chopsticks with the food.
I would highly recommend this authentic place in Amsterdam if you like to eat vegan foot, at one of the self service tables, or for take away.

Great food and exceptional pleasant service

Mayka is a very nice, nearly 100% vegan place in the center of Belgrade. We were served by two nice, authentic people who were very friendly and helpful in making a decision. Mayka has a pretty extensive menu. I had a good ms. Piggy burger which tasted great. Also they serve a quite good range of drinks. I had two different local beers from Belgrade.
I had the meal outside, but upstairs is a very nicely decorated area where you can eat as well. Whenever you are in Belgrade and if you like vegan or vegetarian food, I highly recommend to visit Mayka for great food. We did not have any salad, but it seems they have next to the burgers, curries and other dishes also a good selection of salads.

Roof top bar with good music, fair prices and nice view

Sinnerman is a kind of hidden roof top bar in Belgrade. The entrance is quite difficult to find. Ask around if you cannot find it. The view is on busy traffic lanes with side walks with pedestrians. They played great music and the prices were affordable. I recommend to go and have a drink there if you happen to be in Belgrade.

Side note: I could not find a website of this bar, so I linked to the OpenStreetMap URL.

Free, open, linked data based site for reviews

I like the concept for free reviews a lot. Lib.reviews is bases on free and open source software and linked data concepts. This allow you to review anything based to the URL of it.

Great place for vegan food in Belgrade

Rai Urban Vege is a restaurant with indoor and outdoor seating. All dishes, except one with cheese, are vegan.
If you like to eat vegan food and are in Belgrade, I highly recommend to try Rai Urban Vege.
Note that the websites looks like it is a catering company, but it is a great place to go out and eat.

Excellent website for finding vegan restaurants on a map

On Veggiekarte you can find all kind of places that are vegan or vegetarian. It is nowadays my main website to go and find vegan restaurants. Veggiekarte uses the data from OpenStreetMap, and provides reviews based on lib.reviews.

Nice place with many vegan options for dinner. They also provide discounts for two or three course menus.
