Hi,

when I was in Sydney they told me that Melbourne had a muddy canal and in Melbourne they told me that in Sydney everyone was stressed and the rat race was terrible.

I think the Zurich "problem" is noticable if you don't live there. Watch the swiss news and everything seems to happen in downtown Zurich. There is a real reluctance in Zurich to admit that FCB is a good football team ( not playing so well this year). The politics in Basel are different, here the SVP has virtually no representation and in the party split into two as they did not get on with each other.

I am very happy living here

Martin
