Hello from Sweden!
According to the Tagesanzeiger link is she married to a former member of the cult who happens to be Swiss.
Honestly: Its a bizarre story full of unbelievable details. Immigration is the last topic to talk about in the context.

Tourist warning for Saudi Arabia
I guess so. I don't think that the guy who has no issue bombing and killing women and children in neighbouring Yemen suddenly had a vision telling him to give women equal rights. He is just a young guy who has witnessed how impractical…
This following trade-off: do firms in Switzerland prefer someone with solid and relevent project experience even if it is nearshoring (Central Europe) or do they prefer someone who already works in Switzerland even if the experience is not…

Has Britain gone down the drain?
I think Richdog is what is known these days as a "gammon". I can picture him in his armchair, bottle of brandy in hand, shouting at the kids to "git daaan yer own end!" before turning back to the telly to watch David Attenborough…
Honestly this is the first time in 10 years together that I did this. No big deal. It's one of those one off in a lifetime things. I never open his mail . He does it and sometimes I ask what is it. That's it but he isn't that bothered…

New low-cost 3a offering: VIAC
My main gripe was the rather large SMI allocation in the default Global 100 strategy. You can dial that back a bit and use SPI Extra as a substitute, but I personally didn't manage to get anything below 37% of Swiss allocation.
As a regular poster, I'd argue that you're an exception to the rule. EF used to be very much about the social side - as a result most of the longterm members have met or know each other. This makes it different to most (but not all)…

Not getting paid for work done
Yes, it is the circularity that is so frustrating. And hard to break.
Even so, being a trailing spouse of someone who earns well over the average salary such that one's own earnings are not really necessary for the family to survive,…

Finding work
Nitinbhai, jalsa karo, tension nahi. Aa loko haju pan 'raj' mentality naa shikaar che.
In case RAV do know that you rejected a job in India - the fact that you did not want to give up your wonderful life in CH is reason enough.
Sorry to hijack the thread, but - how satisfied are you with your Cumulus MasterCard?
I'm thinking about switching from UBS.
I do grocery shopping at Migros anyway, and I could earn points to pay there. Also according to their…

Deutsch B1 exam
If that's the case, can you just take the speakîng part again? My German teacher told me that if you fail a section, it may be possible to just repeat that section rather than the whole exam. It may be worth looking into :)

Dog in cabin - CH to UK
Makes complete sense thanks!! Seems your vet isn't the only one who does this. We regally use Milbemax (he was done about a week ago actually!) and have some in the cupboard ready for our return from Italy actually. I'm not sure…

Hello!
It's three years. If his license was issued less than three years ago he will get a provision license. It's best to bet the driving records if possible. I wasn't able to get mine at the time unless I went in person. But luckily it was…

Quellensteuer in Kanton ZH
Yes, also applies to reclaiming Swiss withholding tax. "4 Sind diese Schwellenwerte nicht erreicht, so werden die Verrechnungssteuern, die auf Vermögensertrag, ... erhoben worden sind, auf Antrag zurückerstattet."

Thanks for the information, although I already know how to find the leak. The problem is
Is was a good mattress, so if you're interested in it, let me know and it's yours :D

Czech Budweiser is so good! I was a Soloist - during training at Berne Conservatory - to sing my way through southern bohemia- doubling as a chorister, too. Loved the country and the real Czech Budweiser and the Czech Pilsner.

Forced because their own bodies giving out and they can't keep up with the youngsters, or because they simply aren't having fun any more. Federer has been remarkably injury-free for most of his career and he still loves to play.
If you leave you don't (need to) sublet. Instead, your contract will be dissolved and a new one with Peter will be concluded, with identical conditions and details. As a result you're not liable for whatever happens once Peter has taken…

Coop@home
Not to pile on too much, but earlier this year I bought a small wheeled suitcase, last one on the shelf at Coop. At home I found a fatal flaw with its interior straps (wouldn't stay closed, so useless for their intended purpose). Took…

Butter from grass fed cattle
Bratbutter is the same as ghee, known as "clarified butter" in English, and yes, it's got a very high smoke point which is why it can be used instead of oil in many cooking methods.
It's simple to make your own - which we used to do…
Swiss test is not so bothered about semantics as UK. They don't care so much whether your hands are holding steering 10 to 2, touching kerb while reversing etc. The emphasis is on practical, real life driving in a safe manner. But they…

Bicarbonate
You can get different grades of bicarbonate soda. I buy a food grade with no aluminium for baking and a cheaper grade (that I presume contains aluminium) for my cleaning. I would buy a food grade for my cat :-)
Hallo
So when I came a couple months back I used the lockers in Zurich airport to store some of my stuff which was very convenient for the day, I saw a few posts but they were mainly for Geneva or Zurich
But, does anybody know of any…
Maybe this is part of the difference. Of a half-a-dozen folk who come to mind, here in Switzerland, who are vegetarian and some vegan, I can't think of one who would use shower gel, of all products.
