For Canada: replace the blacks with the native americans (some of whom practiced slavery) and Chinese slaves. To this day there are abuses against the natives, easily found on the internet.
I think you are holding Canada to a higher…
By now competition seems more effective than the law.
I (continue to) use this German conctract, which works in Switzerland without limitation. Together with a Swiss SIM to only receive calls, I find it an unbeatable combination.

The driver is aged 23, and he had not been drinking alcohol. He obviously has not agreed, that he was driving too fast.
Obviously, given that autobahns are fairly straight, he would have seen the police car, and braked from ~250 down…

QA jobs?
And also, though it may seem obvious, are you putting on your CV that you have a B permit? To hire a non-EU national is difficult for employers here so make it clear that you have a B permit which makes you easier to hire.
This is the…

Indian Ladies in Zurich
Hello everyone. I'm also an Indian woman living in Zurich. Somehow I do not know many desi folks here... ( probably because I don't work in credit suisse ��) ...
Are there any mix desi-European couples on this thread? Would…

What does Swiss fashion look like?
I think that's a bit simplistic. If you work in fashion or a job which requires you to at least look as though you are sort of up with the times, you can't chuck on any old tat and expect to be taken seriously.
Having said that,…

Bags and Swiss retail
Now even the KTipp is writing about the cloth bags - they say that the weight of 7g per bag can affect the total weight of produce one pays for.
If one uses the bag to weigh e.g. 10 different types of produce, this would add 70g to the…

Anyone for tennis in Zug?
Hi there, I would be interested as well. Please pm me, any female beginner players from Zug! Cheers, Joanna P.S. In a scale 1-10 my level would be somewhere around 2. I would consider taking classes together as too. :)
None of those things make a big difference. The final result is more a question of what kind of bread and cheese you use, and how well you broil it. Cheddar with paprica and nutmeg gives one taste, Raclette and raclette seasoning (or…

House cooperative
Some Baugenossenschaften still value the original (historical) idea of community, so that they tend to rent out their flats to people they feel are very likely to become active, caring participants in neighbourliness. Because of this,…
Sorry, I can't help with whether a cost is reasonable or not in this case. For me, sometimes the cost stings a bit less if you know the person/company working for you is recommended by others and has done good a good job.
Keep in…
Excellent advice! And that reminded me: tie things onto your clothing. You can sew some ribbons onto the inside shoulder seam, and then loop them through extra things for Baby, e.g. another pacifier, a spare pair of gloves, a small…

Swiss Watches
I had a 300m master co-axial for a short while and absolutely loved it. Sold it for the Daytona, but I've had my eye on the new Bond edition - if there are any left by the time the 13th salary shows up on my account in November, I…
Hi KrystelCaparas, well it depends... which school is he studying?
I'm also half fil, half swiss. I did my bachelor in PH, and last year i got my recognition of diploma and now I'm pursuing my Masters here.
May I know which university is…
Como is a big town, there is tons of parking.
I thought Bellagio was nicer.
You should take the boat around Lake Lugano.
You can walk back from Gandria ( well worth a visit for a quaint village).
There is also the Valle Verzasca,…
Is anyone still looking? I have a Scott speedster S10 size 58 with about 400KM on it:
When I got the bike I upgraded all the non-Ultegra components to Ultegra, so it is now fully Ultegra, including the wheels and pedals. Also Selle San…
Hello from another Singaporean-mom-of-a-bus... We live in Buchs SG, a tiny place very different from our SG... So I get ya ;) it took me almost a couple of months to really settle in (I went from having a full-time job based in China to…
It must be very, very frustrating for a teacher. I can see the point of some parents though. Why is homework so important? The parents probably never did any themselves and they got on fine without it. Why is school so much more important…
Look, with your posts and threads you've made it blatantly obvious that you don't give a hoot about what you're doing and that you're not going to "get" what we're trying to say.
But suit yourself.
I don't have the source in front of me right this minute, but I was looking this up just two weeks ago.
If studying in the UK and not working or earning any income - and assuming in the UK as a student for more than 12 months - then you…

Hello
I have figured you actually cannot use if even if you know the code as you need a piece of paper with a barcode
Its 50 francs for a 150 franc purchase. Unfortunately you need a piece of paper to use it in Ikea and cannot do it…

Kids shop
Hmm... maybe for the same reason that we say to non-EU people "you can't just move to Switzerland". I couldn't get a skilled work visa. Not to mention I have a husband who is very happy in Switzerland. I'm going to OZ for 2 months next…

In Zurich Seebach
Well I will try :D
On a web page (which is normally HTML or a variant standard of what is known as a markup language) there is an element called a "Form" which is an HTML type of element that allows for users to provide data that can be…
Those 500 million dormant accounts (sorry - active users) are from 2014 and may still have users' primary (non-Yahoo) email addresses and their standard passwords which may not have changed since.
