Document translations
The key to failure may be your 'constant watering' - actually most people overwater (like overfeeding their pets) - read the labels on your plants and only water them when the soil is actually dry... or once a week...

Tiny bugs in the flat
HDT USA M1030M10 JP8
I do not know where you can buy one or if it is street legal. But in case of a the zombie apocalypse the latter is of no interest. You might find one, plus ammo and other needful supplies at a US or NATO base .
Hope…

Are you all changing tires yet?!
Try reading post 40 again, maybe if you read slowly and take a bit of time to comprehend, you may just understand why i have such anger.
It was because of an arrogant person, not from Switzerland that my 7 year old god child lost her…

Whats the name of this bush?
The picture in the OP is not very sharp, but I would have said that the bush with yellow blossom in the extreme top left hand corner is likely to be a Eucalyptus Macrandra. These provide an important habitat for Kookaburras. Where was the…

Co-working area at Zurich ?
Eh, that is what I thought ... the problem is that the managing of the new guy signing is done by the agency, not by me, so they are in position to put a deadline, not me.
Please recall that at this stage the agency has already offered…

Fascism parfumes ad WTF?
Are you suggesting that West bank should be finally annexed and all inhabitants should be given Israeli citizenship even against their will? Are these 3 mill Arabs you are referring to?
P.S. What does nominating justice of SC and…

Buying a motorbike
It's a step-thru. It looks just like the C50 my dad used to ride 50 years ago. It's not a proper motorbike.
Dunno, that's not what i said. You said an auto scooter would be faster than a proper motorbike. It wouldn't. I don't…
During the culturally and politically bit I shall study your shelves in the background to see if you got everything on stock I'm after.
The cheese bit should be informative in the sense that we actually gain some sensible insight.
Similar problem here...as if I was not struggling enough with bloody technology already!! Anyway, I was supposed to take part in a 3 way conference on Skype today, for work. It has always worked great, and I use my ipad so I can move…
Please see the 2018 Aargau tax instructions, p.33 and, specifically, bullet 5. This indicates to use a short-year filing when the taxpayer transfers from source tax to ordinary taxation:

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu in Zurich
They're both mentally challenging, and I will say I came away with a lot more bruises grappling than boxing. You will find that when people are grabbing holds they'll often pinch or poke by accident. So your bicep and collar area will…
I now its been a while but hopefully its OK to resurrect this thread.
So last summer I got the cash, made arrangements to view and collect the bike and the seller changed his mind. Bike prices peaked for the summer and then dropped over…
Thanks for your clarification. I checked on the website, it seems so, bad luck.
I was reluctant to buy a TV and even considering a projector.
But it seems TV sale should see the boost from 2019 ;)

English Dance Classes?
I have been attending LeRoc (modern jive) dance classes for a few years here in Zurich. These are taught in English. It is a very friendly international group. The beginners classes (including absolute beginners :-)) are every Thursday at…
Well, iPhones (first to market) are now massively outsold by Android devices, even by just one brand alone of Android devices, sooo...
(Although that probably has more to do with the innovation lead that Android has enjoyed over IOS…
No viewings unless someone from the regie is present. Otherwise you'll work for them for free, and given their actions so far they'll definitely abuse that.
And like Phil mentioned, not for longer than a handful of hours in total and…

Electricity Bill
Not necessarily. If OP has calculated 20 grand a year for all costs, in the US at a very good private university my costs were 14 grand a year...public would have been two or three grand. US uni costs vary a lot based on public v…
Correct. They're often the source for outbreaks of diseases like measles and rubella and instumental in spreading them.

Stock markets go up over time you can completely ignore market fluctuations as over the long term they…
Ideally central in/close to Geneva yes, albeit not being aware of free spots close to the city center (apart from the mentioned lane on the semi highway next to the lake towards Lausanne mentioned in an earlier post - and which seems a…
Bizzarrely, after ages of me not able to get a huge and heavy microwave delivered by Amazon (I had checked multiple times and they never delivered to Switzerland), they all of a sudden unlocked the option to ship to Switzerland... for…
What do you mean?
Worms were suggested as a therapy.
Fasting, btw, is awesome treatment for...all (seems to me). Gut health is a must, indeed. I can't find enough fresh fermented non-dairy stuff, don't have the time to ferment myself.
Parliament wants to scrap work permit quotas for non-EU graduates of Swiss unis
The Swiss senate on Tuesday defied the Swiss government and voted in favour of measures designed to make it easier for students from outside the European Union who have completed tertiary studies in Switzerland to work in the Alpine county.
Swiss competition gives winner Picasso painting for a day
For most of us, the closest we will ever come to having a Picasso in our house is a print, a fridge magnet or perhaps a novelty mug.
