Oh dear....(at the village life bit.) Cazz makes a mental note not to settle in one... (we plan to move to CH in the next year or two - once economies start picking up basically.)

Both hubby and I speak German (we lived in Germany for 10 years) and husband is from Kosovo so we will need to pick somewhere to settle wisely methinks. Am a wee bit worried about the general sentiment towards Yugoslavians in general but I guess this is one downside of CH that we will need to come to terms with. Thinking about it, those kind of attitudes towards foreigners are not that much different to the UK really and hubby has done well here and has been accepted into the fold by his colleagues so I should have a little more faith in mankind I suppose.
