There are lots of places in Saint Louis, just over border, including dry cleaners, called 5 a sec. just google it. It's on the main street "(avenue de bale) on right hand side. I believe it's much cheaper than Bale.
To my knowledge (and i am professional in the matter) the only point that counts is : does the worker work more than 8 hours a week.
If yes, then the employer has to pay the accident insurance and for the employee, their is no need to…
Actually you can subscribe to any type of complementary insurance. the only point will be that needs linked to your pregnancy will not be covered.
for children 60-70 frs is perfectly correct ... try to avoid Assura (the cheapeast…
Yes, a wife automatically got CH citizenship if the husband was Swiss but NOT the other way round. Which in 100'000s of cases meant that the children of a pair GOT CH citizenship due to their father being CH citizen, but not their…
I think it is perfectly right to write a bad review about a product if there are problems with the delivery, since you pay the corresponding delivery service with the ítem price. Kri pays a price for product delivered, why then question…
First of all, their leanings towards extreme groups like FN and the Greens simply is showing their being not pleased by mainland France. I would be quite optimist that most Elsässer would love to be two or three Cantons of Switzerland,…

Why don't you attempt to get a job in Singapore, Malaysia or HK? That way, you can put your kids into a chinese-medium school. Mandarin acquisition will be automatic.
If neither of you speak mandarin at home, your kids won't be…
Ok...
Using local.ch, I have confirmed that the Vevey address is registered as the business address for Hara Pictures. The rue de Sébellion address in Lausanne is listed as the private (i.e. home) address for the person who is also…
Doesn't appear to be complaining about the noise in general, just having the noise go on well after midnight - like operation restrictions on airports, so the airport noise doesn't go 24 hours a day, really.
Good for you - you are not really missing much. Myself, I very rarely watch live TV; more often than not download programmes from the net to watch - even then this is infrequent. Since we have our 2 boys the TV really doesn't hold much…
Thank you so much!! We are literally looking through all these sites right now and are going to get ads out everywhere and every (if any) response we get we will pass on to the relocation company to see of we are being ripped off or…
... And the bank can certainly do this. And they did when the last bubble exploded in the 90's. But the most common case was when owners had to renew their loans. Unlike in other parts of Europe, banks have no obligation whatsoever to…
hey Shelby
Good to hear from you.
Getting to Zurich is very easy from Wipkingen. I did it everyday and it took me 4 mins to walk to the train station from the flat and the train ride took 3 mins to get to Zurich main train station.…
Doctors charge per 5 mins. But the price is different depending on what they are doing during those 5 mins. There are codes that relate to the price/task. I could be why she was upset, ie, she could have used a cheaper code but didn't.…
Welcome, Nodrog. My husband and I moved here in March from Michigan. One of the last things we did before the move was take a quick trip to Chicago because we knew we would miss it. We are in the Lausanne area, and my husband works in…
Good question! They sell some in Manor which is pretty good, and I sometimes make my own.
The latest Co-op effort has far, far too much cumin and has the same texture as guacamole. I threw most of it away.
Great, I'll try…
Hello Luis, I am a portuguese Civil Engineer just like you. My boyfriend is working in Switzerland and he has a permanent contract. I saw that you found a job like a year ago. I am looking for a job but finding an english speakng…
Wow.. haha.
Clearly I'm not a 400 pound french fry eating American. However, in the city where I live currently there are gourmet burgers everywhere and priced around 4.50$
Thanks for your suggestions :)
There is an Etap hotel close to the airport, bus No 10 takes 5 minutes to get you there, it is opposite Balexert.
There is an Etap hotel in Petit Lancy, which is fairly new and one of the cheapest hotels in Geneva, No 23 bus takes you…
I've just passed the 8 month mark. The first 2 months were a wave of excitement and hanging in there in temporary accommodation. Next 2 months homesickness along with winter kicked in. New Year brought new beginnings and great new…
When looking at the statistics it really looks like crime is rife in the Americas. It is remarkable that "men in Central America face 1 in 50 chance of murder before 31"
Not sure if sources more reliable than Wikipedia can be found, but…
This was the problem with our access point...we had to set it up via a web browser and make sure the d link was not DHCP enabled. There was no option to do this with the standard cd set up. Once that was done, it was a piece of cake!
I think that's what confused me at first too. But the crumpet isn't cut in half. That's the way it's cooked. Anyway, the texture is different. It's more like a thick pancake/blini then an "English muffin".
