There's the worry, the time it takes, no guarantee etc etc etc but there are numerous posts on here which say you can't do it yourself which is simply not true and which is why I replied in the first place.
Whether one would want to…

Where is home?
I guess my roots were already planted when I moved here...but I'm happy I could put an anchor in another culture and navigate comfortably between the two of them. But home is a very wide and subjective notion. One can be "at home" in so…

Sausage & Bacon
We got fed up with the quality of so called 'English Breakfast' here in Switzerland and now order our 'English style' bacon & sausage direct from a South African butcher in the Valais we were recommended by some South African friends via …

Red blobs reputation
You can also go to The Local, log in, go to the settings, reputation, and then select, buy green blobs.
I've even discovered that greenies are cheaper if you log into The Local.de. You can then transfer them to your Swiss account. 80…
Thank you so so much for this information!! The NHS have decided that I am going to have to work in a hospital 4 hours away for the next two years, and if I don’t accept it, I just won’t have a job. I don’t know how they think I…
I highly suggest a relocation agent. It cost us close to 5,000 , but it was worth every penny. She spent nearly a week with me driving me around Geneva with scheduled visits for about 20 apartments, appointments at schools, and meetings at…

Thanks everyone for the advice.
We've been a bit lucky the last few days and have found apartments with 2 rooms and within our budget. My husband has been visiting apartments every day and applying on the spot if possible. This forum…
Last week-end I had to be in Lugano by 8 pm because of the ice-hockey match and left Zurich at 3. The trip would normally take just about two hours or even less. Thanks to ten km stau it took me four hours. I don't like using the Chur…

Nope, the way things are going here a super volcano eruption can´t do more damage than the developers are doing. Malta is being (I coined this phrase myself and it went viral) "Benidormized," the national bird is the crane and the…
Good idea - if it was a personal trip, I would certainly have done this. Because it is a work trip, I cannot get reimbursed for the hotel stay (I asked), but they will reimburse the taxi. I also had the idea to drive my car, park it…
You could call TextilreinigungTelefon: 044 312 17 88. They're in the basement of Neumarkt Oerlikon, directly opposite Oerlikon station. As you leave the station on the same side as platform 1, just look for the Migros signs as they have…
Yeah. That's why I don't really consider buying an Audi. Especially of those years.
I'd rather look into a used, cheap Prius.
Apparently, they're very reliable and even a battery-exchange isn't too expensive.
Though, of course, the…
I know but your example sounded as if one could bypass the judge in that.
The main problem is though: Judge or not, having caused injuries like you mentioned one will pay for a life-time (and longer but that is not possible yet…
Hey there,
i understand it is too late to your reply, but people are still reading this thread. Therefore, if you are looking something good quality with unlimited revisions and on top below 200CHF from a Swiss company, give them a…

New Diabetes trial treatment?
There are also some negative effects of sudden weight loss and this very low diet is not indicated for everybody. We have to take into consideration many other things too. But I'm happy if it worked for your friends, or if it works for…

Nigerian Scam goes Snail Mail
I was flabbergasted to find such a letter in my mailbox today (yeah, yeah, I'm not reliable with emptying it)! I thought that was brand-new - only to find this 2011 thread. LOL.
They had to pay Euro 00.86 postage by now - poor buggers.…
That seems to be a newish thing (don't know, was not unemployed for a long time).
I translated for an IT person once who told the RAV-person about such tasks (several!), which he had to do for a company he applied for.

thanks for all input so far.
I was informed i will get some sort of rental subsidy which should allow me to look at something around 4K for rental. So i hope this will allow me to find something not too far away.

Geneva Motor show
Might be the same here. Only omtatsat hasn't bought a car in a long time? :)
As I always buy old second-hand cars, they won't bother sending me any tickets either. All I could do is look for what I might buy in 10 years - by then my…

Where to Buy Spirulina?
I'm sure buying bio when buying from China is a good idea.
I just think, chances that the field next to the biofield is a Syngenta-test-field is much bigger than around here. (Now even more :D)
And controlling China ... is some kind…
You may not have mentioned Zurich but your profile says "Zurich" as location, look at the top right corner of anything you posted and you will see this.

Is this 91-franc kebab with wagyu beef Switzerland's most expensive?
Even in Zurich, 91 francs (€70, $90) is a lot for a kebab: but then again, not all kebabs are like this.
