Business Card Printing Business?
Why would you want to pay so much for a business card; the only use of a card today is a medium on which to communicate contact information before it gets transfered to a telephone and the business card gets stuffed in a drawer…
Hi ,
You did not mention age of your kids. We are about to move there but heard that they make kind of selection in shools in year four. Our kidds are 10 and 9 now and we do not know if they will be able to pick up good level of…
I agree with you to a fairly large extent.
But you cannot deny the fact that there are just some countries where such things happen more frequently. There are a lot of people on this forum living on denial about that. If I was the first…

MicroFinancing
So the loan repayments are coming through, small amounts but significant compared to the loan. Sadly I cannot re-invest these payments as they are not credited back to me. That's a shame really :( Oh well, time to open up my own wallet,…

Five-piece Ravioli
Oh, I totally agree.
But it's just that I've eaten a few times at the Uto Kulm and I've learned pretty much what level of quality to expect up there. Those few times, the food has been consistently decent but nothing to write home about…

Foolproof fondue recipe
Really! Emmental...gosh I hadn't heard of that one and I have had a lot of fondue so far in Switzerland. Is this something they have in Basel...I'm in Vaud?
Anyhow, why don't you go to a local Dairy Store and buy a pre-made pack of…

The use of past tense "thanks for having celebrated this day" is not unusual, but it's mostly used when for little cards on small thank-you-gifts that are sometimes handed out to the guests after or towards the end of the wedding.
I would…
Qahqai's Japanese/UK engineering, not French. It just has Renault engines and they're very good now.
If you think the Qashqai's plastic (not my view) then for heaven's sake don't even look at a Maxda X5. Awful car.

Dr Who (Spoiler Alert 2013)
Being a late adopter of the series (only started with the new one - didn't even know the old existed then), I must say that Matt Smith is my favourite doctor so far.
And I'm quite happy with Clara - managed to cheer me up after crying…

Looking for a place in Basel
In the UK there are virtually no real ads on Craigslist. 99% are scammers, and in the housing/property sections that rises to 100%.
And whatever site you use, sort everything out financially once you arrive; definitely no Western Union…

Thanks all, I appreciate the time taken to put in some detailed replies. Good to hear about the similarities to dutch and german / high german / swiss german and that the schools are good with settling the kids in.
We are happy enough to…

Vaud School System
I've never "got" Eurovision even when Terry Wogan tried to make it cool in an ironic way. Saw a bit of it last night and decided Graham Norton actually enjoyed it, which totally ruined his commentary.
But then I'm neither intellectual…

Weather!
Well, everything is relative. My father, back in the northwest of Spain, where I come from, was complaining about the amount of snow they got yesterday.
Now, that would piss me off at this time of year :eek:

British stuff at Lidl
I think I tried the fish and chips last time, they were ok but didn't leave any lasting memories. May try the fudge though!
I may just buy all the cheddar country-wide, repackage it, and set up a new "English Cheese" stall. Just…

Dungeons & Dragons [Lausanne]
Apparently there are a few gaming shops, yes - as well as a ludotheque. Haven't managed to visit yet, but I'm thinking of starting things out with one-off and with a persistent sandbox setting, where every character does not have to be…
You know what? We are in the exact same position only with the difference that my partner is wanting to come over here to be with his family..
My partner also works in the IT area and is finding it extremely difficult, near impossible…
You are not going to get any unemployment benefit if you have not paid into the system, ie worked at a normal job, for 12 months in the past 24 months.
So why not leave Switzerland officially, on or before 26th May? Work until…
