On the bad side of the coin, Geneva and Zurich may end up on top of the list of the most expensive cities in 2012: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_most_expensive_cities_for_expatriate_emplo yees

On the brighter side of the coin, Switzerland may end up to top the list of average salary of 2012: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of...y_average_wage

It feels so strange. As a European, I used to consider that the only very opulent country in Europe was Norway, because of its oil. Now, it feels as if Switzerland is as opulent, because it has the Swiss Franc. Well, I don't think it can last very long, but I hope that it will be at least a few years.
