I don't like it here
When i was 17/18 my parents wanted to send me away, supposedly I had got in with the "bad crowd"!! But I came back a few years later, and here I be still. By then the very nice man in the village, who liked foreigners, had organised my C…

Kids GPS trackers
The point is I don't think a 6 yo should have a mobile phone on them, even if its a Nokia 3210 type dumb phone. These GPS trackers are crippled for good reason, they're not something a kid will care about, show off to their friends or lose…
Are you talking about speeding or training?
There's no race track but at least one track for training (Lignières NE). Multiple locations for training, loock them up on the TCS site or on drivingcenter.ch (or use Google), both offer…

Struggling to get a job
RAV definitely suggests it. In 2014, that was really the only advice they could offer me after 2 years of no luck.
A quick look at the website, and it's suggested -when asked for- but their sample CVs do have pictures in them.
I'm…
Hello,
Would the family also need any furniture? WE have some stuff in good condition to give away.
We also have some old jackets that we dont use anymore all in great condition. Please let me know via a PM
Salt ghost roaming, 400kb, 16CHF!
(On the detailled bill it's indicated 100KB each days over 4 days abroad).
1) They were supposed to have deactivated the data roaming at my request over a year ago, maybe two.
2) Of course, the data…

Bocconi university reputation
I haven't studied at Bocconi but I woudn't choose it for these specific areas you area talking about (ie, quantitative finance). I would either look for LBS, LSE or even St Gallen if you want to get an internship in Zürich. They have…
But to shorten the discussion about legality, it is his car rental service who states in the rules they don't accept non EU/EEA licenses.
TS should just mail them to ask if they do accept Swiss licenses, or if he indeed needs an…

Basel Land or Basel Stadt
Depends on which part of BL you are talking about. Allschwil is connected with Basel with trams and buses, as I mentioned before, it takes me 12-15 min. to get to Marktplatz for example. Commuting to ANYWHERE in BS from Allschwil is…
Fish is quite often cooked "en papillote". I use baking paper to make small parcels of fish, fennel etc. and cook the fish in the oven.
The fish basically steams in the parcel.
You can use foil too.

Movin to Dublin
Regarding the moving company, when we moved from Dublin, we were given Crown Relocations. It was good, no surprises.
I lived there for two years and I have some thoughts to share: housing is crazy (in terms of cost and little…
That's always been an issue for me---how to evenly start charcoal.
I've been using those styrofoamy stuff for general grilling (but making sure it's totally burned off)---Definitely wasn't going to use them for smoking.
I wouldn't…
Hi all,
Just as an update for anyone coming to Geneva, ZIMEYSA (thanks FrankZappa) is now limited to only 16 hours parking.
I've cycled around and found some unmarked spaces out in Pregny on back streets. Otherwise it seems like the whole…
Billag as far as I can tell is a hidden tax. Therefore the list of Swiss residents not paying it must be very small, so easy for them to work on the names they dont get a payment from.
Its more likely to be Sunrise your data has…
Speaking from experience, what is offered varies greatly from one area to another. For many of my clients finding the best school situation was the first priority.
In my experience, the property search should be limited to areas where…
Interesting. I photograph wildlife large and small, but owls, though I hear them almost every night around where I live, both tawny and long-eared, I have yet to see one day or night. If you would like to PM me where you have seen them…
My father was a train driver ( locomotive engineer) in West Texas for 35 years and believe me, it was a hard job! He virtually had to be on call 24 hours a day, with a two hour heads up, when he was called in for work. The freight…

My cat has been run over
I am so sorry to hear about your loss.
When my beloved cat passed away a few years ago, I had him cremated and got his ashes put in a cat-shaped urn which was being sold at the crematorium. I still have the urn in my room. It looks like…
I would try to them back to where you bought them.
Where we live, we can buy special bags just for plastics which can then be taken to a designated recycling depot. But if the paint containers are not empty, then I would put them in…

Zahncity
Funny that you mention the zähncity online booking system. Last evening they had a computer error and a lot of people got the 9:30 am slot. This morning they called up people to reschedule (based on severity?) :D
sorry I meant high school in the american sense, sekundarstufe 2 in zürich I guess.
Anyway now that I looked into it seems there is no such school in kanton zürich, only matura gymnasium-like art curricula.
