Or would it be a better idea to divide my time just between two cities? Ie, Zurich and Interlaken? The less time spent having to pack up and check out the better. I could always spend 3 days in Zurich and 5 days in Interlaken? That way…
I actually got hired here by mistake.
I've been holidaying in Switzerland for years, since the 'seventies in fact. Never thought of working here though. I left the UK and started travelling around, financed by IT contracting. Did this…

Student's Corner
My editing is draging, jebus. I also noticed I do way better at noisy places, trains, kitchens full of people, radio and other stuff on, teacher's lounge, waiting rooms...woot. I should feed my brain waves.

We're doing sub strata discourse analysis with the compelling, challenging and top 3 US chart busting ghost written autobiographical 'Thank You and You're Welcome' from internationally lauded cultural commentator Mr Kanye West.
As your husband is German, wouldn't it make sense to consult a lawyer in Germany regarding adoption?
Changing your daughter's surname might be possible even without an adoption, though you would need to check the laws in your home…

A live worth
Contact what yjt recommended, as it seems no one is specialized in issues like yours.
Also, as your father was not at fault, I believe the other driver's insurance company should cover for the most part of your losses.
But thing is,…

Customs fines
Good point. The CHF20/kilo is only for red meat imported in excess of the (admittedly meagre) personal allowance. But I guess that's the point of the original post. Again, I'd advise sticking to the limits.
If you read the OP's post the supplier is not shipping outside the EU, so VAT has to be charged unless export has been proved, it's been the same for a very long time.
The OP has found his own shipping co...
I suspect the prices in CH in 1950 were not that far away from todays 'rediculous' prices, I would love to be proved wrong...
If we look at cars, washing machines & TV's they will be a hell of a lot cheaper today. Whats a 12 inch black…
To where, Verbier? See
www.sbb.ch

It will give you integrated timetables, train + bus and prices too when you click on 'FARE/BUY'
Many people who use…

Hello
Can I join in - the Jura and Yorkshire are like twins really - always loved the Yorkshire Dales - and Malham Cove is the Creux-du-Van's twin sister.

Salvaging a 'totaled' car
However, you have to remember that prices for anything car-related in CH are totally ridiculous. When I had my car still on foreign plates and insured in my home country, the insurance company told me that in case of a serious accident…
Have a look at www.bikemap.net - helps find bike routes everywhere (or at least where people use GPS. The Garmin Connect site is also useful - you can look without having a Garmin computer.

I was very late for work because of this incident and when I found out why I was really mad. I thought at the end station someone checks the train to make sure no one is sleeping. I've seen the SBB employees bang on the window from the…

Restaurants (Lausanne)
also, down the street from les allies is the tramway- delicious, a bit pricey but worth it if you want really nice staff, excellent food. desserts are good too.
also, the thai place in grancy- sorry to disorganized for address but it's…
When I first came here I couldn't believe people still payed more than a flat rate for land line phones. Then when I looked at mobile service it felt like I took a step back in time, about 15 years when pricing was insane in the US.…

Regarding marketing ideas... can't help you personally, but I can recommend the forums on the National Novel Writing Month site as a place to get good advice, feedback and ideas from other writers. And Amazon (well, Createspace) is a…

That is not the point though, those things are entirely optional, the point is, how prices for (in two cases) "bare bones" properties within a 400 metre radius of each other have changed in five years. I don't know what the price of the…

Duty charges with Amazon UK
Can't seem to find out what I need to know as almost everyone talks about books and cds on Amazon threads.
I want to order a toy from Amazon.de. It is priced at CHF 30. Will that be ok if sent in the post? It is under the threshold of CHF…

Lemon Meringue Pie
A couple of types if you are making your own pastry:
1. don't overwork it.
2. Don't let it get too warm. I chill it for at least 30mins before rolling out, and then chill it again once I've rolled it and put it in the pie dish before…

Pre-empting a speeding ticket
Total pap! There is not a good chance at all, if one was doing something really stupid yes they could try and come after you agreed, or, if it was on a database the border may give you trouble, but for a simple speeding there is no…

Gay man in Lausanne
Hi, I just moved to Lausanne (after a break abroad - was in Geneva before) and I don't know pretty much anybody yet, so I was wondering if anybody would like to go to the famous gay night in MAD tomorrow.
We could do something like a…
And if you feel bored in Singapore, just drive your Ferrari across the causeway to Johor Bharu. In Singapore, probably you don't have enough length of highway to test your Ferarri but I am sure you will enjoy it on the Malaysian…
Is it really more studying that you need? Maybe just a career change into a different area and work your way up.
I think maybe also to get onto a good MBA course then you need to already have experience in the relevant fields and be in a…

Binz aircraft noise?
In my town, there are 3 horts. There are more than 3 KGs though. In fact my daughter was not put in the closest KG (which is 200-300 metres from us) which surprised me. I asked and they explained that the KG attributed to us was…
