It must be the season for new jobs, because I am in the same boat.
I hae been trawling here for a few weeks without registering or posting while we considered my options for housing, daily life and costs of living.
We are an Australian couple with one 2 year old boy, and a new baby due in Jan-07. We have been living in Scotland for 6 years, and in London for the 2 years before that. It looks very likely that we are moving to Zurich in the New Year. If anybody has advice (or an apartment for a family

) please feel free to PM me.
Thanks
Tux and Cass
