reading all of this is making me dizzy.

1. i wrote my landlord company but didn't send it by register mail. i think i will go pay a personal visit this week with another letter?
2. i will deregister from the office in the canton of basel....i have to do this soon?
3. will the landlord company transfer the deposit to a US account?
4. do i really need to tell swiss com (home internet service) and the electric company now (i leave october)? also, does swiss com require the modem back? in the states usually they want the modem back....
5. regarding the retirement stuff. does one have to work for 12 months in order to retain it or is this based on each individual company that handles this?

i'm down with the cleaning. thankfully my flat was mostly there to house my things and it isn't a mess.....i never even put much on the walls save for using tape because i didn't have a drill!

i will organize a party with 'free' beer.....i'll make some trips to wonder why the heck i am leaving......it's been a very fun interesting time....it's not going anywhere....and free schooling back home is well....a good incentive for me to repatriate.

thanks
