Exporting Car from Switzerland
Sorry in advance for my confused question: when one exports his own car (being the owner in CH for longer than 6 months) to an EU country in his name does he have to pay import tax or just pay the costs of registering this car in the EU…
Hello Climber
I have recently had the handover of my previous apartment.
My tip: leave the wall as it is.
Maybe they will charge you X CHF for the repairing the wall, but this is still better, than if you do non-professional…
And an other post that disagrees with the title of this thread:
Placed an order at 1.25 a.m. on 7.8.18, received the goods around 10.00 a.m on the 8th. All good and they did not forget to add the converter either.
Okay, the rule I mentioned is still valid.
As your girlfriend will use the car on regular basis, specially including <<«Führen fremder Motorfahrzeuge>> into her third-party-insurance won't work either.
So you better check well with…

Should I get a Swiss license?
In theory, maybe. But we are expected to fully comply with Swiss laws. My wife is pretty low on the totem pole and is probably not worth the political expenditure to protect if we grossly disobey the law.
And you are right, we do…
That bit cracked me up too. Swiss families average 2-3 children, certain immigrant families average 4-5. Yet, in that specific case TobiaM would never use this expression to describe the process of having a family. I think the locals…
If you have no Swiss permit, presumably you are not registered here. Then take the test in the UK. With 50 hours training and the theory passed already, you should breeze through. I mean how much time and money do you want to spend on…
Had a similiar experience to Susan 57. Was not impressed with Ritalin feeling it to be for the convenience of the teachers. Also agree on the lack of support, unwillingness to try simple measures such as touching the child on the…
Presumably a lot depends on whether the person is looking for state-run rehab covered by their medical insurance, or seeks and can afford a high level of comfort.
Australia, New Zealand and South Africa each have a luxury rehab industry,…

Shite in series
Very glad to hear that your grandmother’s op was a success.
A bottle, or three, of the best vintage bubbly is in order.
Here’s to her continued recovery, to the return of Mrs McT, and to an end to the Series Of Unfortunate…
Happy to see I'm not the only one who loves cottage cheese. Since I was a child I eat the one from Migros, m-classic, the white and blue packet. I don't like nestle hirz. Either I simply eat it with the spoon as snack or put it in the…

Noisy neighbour advice
In the dorm we drilled in the wall for the screws to mount a bar blocking the apartment door. After mounting the bar we decorated the door with RIP and funeral flowers. It was before the times of cell phones so it took them some days…
Booked a week or two in advance a CFF Supersaver for two costs about CHF35 for a 2 1/2 hour journey. Also direct.
P.S. Always check the SuperSaver price in 1st. Depending on demand they can be cheaper than a second class SuperSaver. The…
You sound like you just need something different.
By taking a train that leaves Baden a bit before 8 a.m., you can make it to Solothurn to get the boat from Solothurn (depart 09h10) to Biel (arrive 11h55).
Allow for a few…
Maybe not wiping out, but I can see that the countries in which these companies operate will want an increasingly large share of the profits (in the form of taxes) which are generated by trading in those countries.
Whenever this kind of question comes around, I like to suggest working one's way through the long and very informative thread started by Kiwi2Swiss. Some threads on the forum are silly, others argumentative. Kiwi2Swiss's thread has a…

(ZH) Coupon Hamam?
In May and June, 2018, choirs will sing all over town, in Zurich backyards. Choirs of all types participate - classical, traditional, yodelling, school choirs, jazz, etc. - and it is a great opportunity to check out different choirs if you…

Best rate CHF for USD
No, you can top it up directly in CHF from your bank. Check what fees apply, see also here
You can still withdraw as much as you want after 200 pounds, but with a 2% fee. That is still pretty much about the same as purchasing cash at the…
You could look for a Summer job somewhere in the mountains.
Next summer, of course.

It's three months, usually.
Depending on how long you've been at your current job, your employer may give you a…

Twitter driving me nuts!!!
Because once you're all worked up, the most logic solution is not available.
What did McRaven in that speech say: "When it's the darkest you got to stay calm" (not in these exact words).
I knew that was true before I listened to it…
Thing is, I need to separate the misstresses from the concubines and therefore, it is damn near impossible to keep up with all those light switches. I believe this belongs in the first world problem thread.
Hi all, bit off topic but hoping some astronmers are here -
last night around 9 PM, Mars was just above the horizon to the SouthWest.
IN lieu of getting a more expensive telescope, I picked up a Celestron Astromaster 90 CM refactor…

Limmatschwimmen 2018
I know, I'd rather have a Betreibung on him instead of myself. I told him that he surely cannot apply for VISA until the whole matter is clarified. I'll make sure he's well aware of the consequences :)
+1 for calling them and giving it a shot - I got mine halved.
I drunkenly sat in 1st class by accident and presented my 2nd class monthly to an un-amused inspector. I called them up and explained it was an honest mistake and that I did…
I have no problem with publicly financed media, especially in a small country with 4 official languages, but the financing mechanism is outrageously archaic, akin to a medieval hearth tax.
Why can't it be financed by the federal…
You're sure about that? I mean the Germans only return the VAT if the Swiss stamped the form that says the goods have been imported into Switzerland (= obviously exported), which means they charched the 7.7%. No?
If the Swiss simply…
Former UN chief Kofi Annan dies in Switzerland
Former UN chief and Nobel peace laureate Kofi Annan died Saturday at the age of 80, his foundation announced, prompting a barrage of grief-stricken tributes from around the world.
Muslim couple denied Swiss citizenship over handshake refusal
The Swiss city of Lausanne has blocked a Muslim couple's bid to become Swiss nationals over their refusal to shake hands with members of the opposite sex.
