Hi all
Looks like I'm moving to Geneva in 4,weeks , unless a miracle happens or I win the lottery !!!
Anyway not happy about the 37%Tax regime but they won't let me use my offshore company -
Hope I won't be too miserable there !!

Hi Jason

Hi Karl , Laura - initially looking for a good restaturant on sat nite in Geneva - any ideas ? French, Indian, Thai, Italian Etc, thanks

For Indian you may want to try Little India.
Rue du Prieuré 20 1202 Geneva
022 731 11 71

We used to like it, but haven't eaten there for 3 years

Hi Marz

Any idea how much it would cost? Champions league and a good takeaway, can't be beaten

Best to check their website

www.littleindia.ch/

Cheers dude!

Welcome to the EF and Switzerland!!

I hope you enjoy the winter life in Switzerland.

All the best with the move.

HI good luck with the move
Geneva is beautiful not sure of
the tax but you obviously did
your homework.
We only pay 8% on salary here
so seems high 37%
Hope all goes well for you.

@Karl88 - take aways are possible but not like the UK take away culture
Here are a few English speaking pubs in Geneva to get you started:
The Clubhouse (sport)
Lady Godiva (good curries & sport)
The Cube (near Plainpalais - shows rugby games etc so probably footy too?)
Mr Pickwicks
Key & Eagle

Can find more info on life in Geneva on: www.glocals.ch

Good luck all.

Shame Luckily I can cook a good curry myself, although will miss a good chinese.

Cheers for the list of pubs, will be handy if I can't get SKY TV sorted and need to watch the football

I have forgotten what a chinese tastes like to be honest. But thankfully curries can be found - albeit very expensive ones...tummy growling already at the thought

For Sky you could check out: http://www.haseurope.com/

Also for anyone interested FREE BEER! Just found this so thought I would share:
Free Beer while watching the 6 Nations Rugby

Today 10:32
Hi All,

My friend has set up a group for anyone wanting to watch the 6 Nations rugby this weekend. Link to group: http://www.glocals.com/groups/geneva...2013-group.htm

Bar Le Cube is opening specially for the 2 games on Saturday 9th Feb and if you sign up to the group on Glocals you get your 2nd Beer FREE!! Woohoo!! Also free nibbles will be served.

K/O 3:30pm (Geneva TIme) Scotland vs Italy

K/O 6pm (Geneva Time) France vs Wales

Come along, meet some new people and have a laugh and cheer your nation!!

Looking forward to seeing you all there!!

I know I saw a thai resturant on Grand-Rue by Rue de Marché when I was over for my interview - had lunch in an Italian place there too, can only hope there is a Chinese there too

About HASEurope, I have looked at them but they're VERY expensive! I already have a HD box and viewing card ready to come over with me, so I might keep a full subscription at my parents address and use it in Switzerland, from what I've seen it can be done, only issue I'd face is installing the dish.

This will be impossible if you are in rented accommodation.

OP, why are you paying 37% tax? This is the highest tax rate if you earn over one million CHF a year.
