| | | should i move to zürich?
hello everyone,
i recently left zürich and am now in london. i have the option of either staying in london and accept a job offer i got here or move back to zürich. i lived in zürich for 5 years and left due to family issues back home.
so tell me if you had the choice between living and working in a new place to experience a different culture or going back to live in a country and city you know what would you do?
ciao

Do you do safe and known or do you take a chance?
The choice is yours.

Some family background would be helpful :-) If you are single and wild then I suggest London is the place to be. If you have family or just want to chill then CH is the place to be.

I like to take chances, I took the chance to leave australia 6 years ago to live in zürich and am willing to take the chance again somewhere else....it would be exciting to live in london, but i also liked living in zürich.

Stay in London. Party hard. Work hard. Paint the town red for a couple of years. Find a good woman that wants to make a new start. Move to Switzerland with the promise of a new life and ....relax.
Return to London every four weeks to get a fix of excitement , then come back and ...relax.
Repeat until retired.

I did lot of naughty stuff in London :-) I love London! In my view the girls are slightly better here...better quality  Depends what you are after though. For outdoor stuff CH is definitely a better option.

If your job is in Central London, you will be forced into a social life of some sort, as people don't want to go home in the rush hour. Join a few clubs go to some organised social events, and you will find it difficult not to meet people over there. Become a hedonist, drink Cosmopolitans in the Match bar, wallow in your anonymity and celebrate the fact you are on the rebound.

At least not for an expat. So, if finding a man is amongst your top goals, stay in London. After all, there are plenty of expats there too in case you are not into the "london" type |

Stay in London where you have a job. I made the mistake of moving back to this country and am stuck here with no job now at 55 because swiss use your professionalism whilst you're young and then discriminate when you're older

In fact, you seem to exhibit classic bi-polar symptoms. Seek help!

I worked in London for 12 years, and as has been said it's a great city if you are footloose and fancy free. On the sport front it can be a bit of a drag getting to any nice countryside though if your job will fund it, it is quite quick to get to the alps out of city airport via geneva, we used to do regular long weekends. Oh and the public transport system is falling to pieces.

People seach for advice, it's given by other members based on their personal experiences and you prick moderators jump in criticising members responses. Why don't you help answer the query instead of criticising, you narrow minded petty f...k. No wonder there are only a handful of members with twats like you around. Get a real life, wanker.

with the anger levels you're showing, I do really believe you need help. Stop ruining this place for others; if you really think it is that shit, don't visit. Period.
