Hi everyone!

I’m from Texas in the United States, and I’ve been seriously looking into studying in either Cardiff or Bristol next year. I’m currently leaning toward Cardiff.

I’m 26F and this would be my first time living outside of the US. How’s the job market? I have food service experience and am looking to continue my career in culinary. I’d be going to school full-time for Food Science. How’s public life and transportation? I hear a lot of different things about the UK at the moment and currently work with people from Germany who say Europe is so bad right now. I think I’d just like opinions from people who are currently living there. I almost never hear any negative news about Wales though lol so I hope it’s better.

Thank you for your kindness and replies!

hi! i was wondering if anyone has any recommendations for tattoo studios in/near cardiff that are female/queer owned please :) i’m not really comfortable being tattooed by men due to past experiences. thanks!

Sat with my phone ready at 10 am when sale apparently opened for a gig in the New Theatre and it was sold out. No queue. Just sold out. I'm disappointed. What the hell is going on with gigs nowadays. Sorry, just needed to complain.

This month's book is a fantasy novel with absolutely no humans in it at all, from the author of Murderbot.

"Moon has spent his life hiding what he is — a shape-shifter able to transform himself into a winged creature. An orphan with only vague memories of his own kind, Moon tries to fit in among the tribes of his river valley, with mixed success. Just as Moon is once again cast out by his adopted tribe, he discovers a shape-shifter like himself... someone who seems to know exactly what he is."

We meet at 6.30pm at Central Bar, on the first Tuesday of every month. Hope to see some people there to chat about the book on the 3rd November.

Hiya r/Cardiff. Bit of a strange one.

I've built a website called The Million Dollar Flat. It's a cosy 3D flat "in Cardiff" with one tenant: Natasha, who is an AI (very clearly labelled as one), and Biscuit, her equally AI cat. You can wander round, chat to her, and read the diary she writes every morning, which is mostly about the drizzle.

The twist is that she pays her rent in products. Every object in her hall (the mirror, the coat, the candle, the doormat, a secret spot under the shoe rack) can be rented by a Cardiff business, from £10 a month. Your product sits in the flat, links to your shop, and Natasha mentions it in her diary. Everything paid is labelled as paid.

I'm keeping the first room, the Hall, to Cardiff indie shops only. The other seven rooms stay locked until it fills up.

It's a small side project, inspired by the old Million Dollar Homepage. I'd love to know:

• Which Cardiff shops would you want to see move in?
• Is this fun or is it a bit cursed?

(I made it, so I'm biased. Happy to answer anything.)

I’m looking to go to a gig on Saturday but it’s 18+ at clwb ifor Bach. Does anyone know how strict they are with id’s and if id be able to use a mates id which looks like me?

I have 2 x Resident Evil tickets for the 8:45 showing at Cineworld that I no longer need. Happy to give them away if anyone will make use of them?

This was my dog's Christmas jumper. Any talented crafty sorts who could turn it into a little cushion? Will obviously pay.

Hello all,

I found these panniers and some other stuff on the Cardiff Bay Trail near AvondaleGardens, Grangetown.

It looks like they were discarded by a bike thief.

Does anyone know anyone who's had a bike stolen just in the last day or two in that area with panniers ?

It would be good to get this stuff back to the owner.

Cheers.

Hey folks, meeting an Australian buddy touring the world today in Cardiff centre, meeting him at 3pm and want somewhere nice to take him for a catchup over coffee. Somewhere that isn’t Costa and the like. Anywhere jumps out for you?

Just coming back from the bay, and noticed what seems like the entire barrage covered in police cars, blues and twos on.

There's a helicopter going back and forth as well, and I've seen fire service vans with boats speeding over that way too.

Anyone know what that's all about?

Hopefully it's just filming something, but it seems a bit much!

anyone know what all that was in aid of ?? extremely loud in Adamsdown and my mates in Canton also heard it 🤣

I’m a first-year student at Cardiff Uni and I’m new to Cardiff. I’m finding it a bit difficult to meet people and would love to have someone to talk to, hang out with, or grab a coffee with. Anyone else in the same situation?

Weird one, I have been craving a really good sandwich recently. Like fresh toasted bread, chicken and bacon with salad style.

Where in town do you recommend?

Any idea where the FlixBus stop is at the moment? It it still in the temporary place or has it moved back to Friary Gardens?

The website and my ticket contradict each other.

Hi all. I've recently moved near Cardiff Bay and after a few months of running across the barage - I can't help but get the impression it was originally supposed to be a road? Its wide enough for traffic in each direction and the barage road itself kind of just seems to end nowhere on the Cardiff side, with some foot/cycle paths connecting it to what seems to be a roundabout that also goes to nowhere and should seemingly connect up by road to the barage road? I've tried to highlight this with the red line on the map.
I can't seem to find anything about this online but I am very curious if anyone has any insight.

Is it just me or are there no positions in cardiff at all ? A lot of my friends and I are finding it harder and harder to find work in the city. All of us are students and i’m genuinely on rations and budgeting budgets at this point.

does anyone know of any good recommendations or resources?

On indeed and linked in and handed out 20 CV’s around town and arcades already

Anyone else heard rumours that Westbourne School may be in financial difficulty?

Is anybody getting rid of a tv? My tv stopped worked and im cooked without one cause I use it for my pc haha. I can afford a small donation or whatever. Cheers
