...yeah, but at least I got more than 150Chf to my name.

Hahahahahahaha. This is so funny, the only amount of humour affordable at 150 CHF/USD!

I can write a better novel or story even without being inspired from his story. I know people who have made lives from nothing in foreign countries, tough but not unusual.

Someone who has no family or even friends to help out always raises a question mark.

A smart guy would first try to save up something in the place where he/she is already established to certain extent, save up and then move on rather than just lifting his feet off with no place to put them back on.

Well i just love people acting like they know everything about everybody

Congratulations. Use it to buy some more mutant fried chicken as a temporary cure for your obviously low self esteem.

Can you imagine his humour when he will be on his feet in this country that gives him rights?

Nah, I got a very high self-esteem....it's the lack of character that makes me an unpleasant companion.

You know daboy, instead of spending your free time trolling you could go out and get some work before you leave so you can land in Switzerland with say 200 bucks instead.

You're only about the tenth person to post something along these lines. Thank you for your useless personal annotation.

You mean money can buy sense of humour too?

I thought it only buys people who would laugh at your stupid jokes, though sympathy can get you the same in the absence of financial means.

This country that gives rights, has produced less comedians than any dictatorships, so I would'nt still bank on it!

Its good you are keeping a count, but save your effort on trying on with big words. It only shows you are in this situation despite a good education!

It's in the early morning hours for him..so either he's nocturnal or one of those people that can't get up in the morning (to go to work).

Must be another American. If i was trolling then your suggestion is obviously illogical. Think, then post.

I think the OP has now had the benefit of a number of wide ranging opinions regarding his proposed adventure. I really don't think anything more of any use can be said.

Welcome to Switzerland, Daboy!

Don't forget to update your public profile ( location )

Not sure if this belongs in daily life.

Can't find my original thread from ca November 2010, summarizing my plan to arrive here "with a one-way ticket and $150," and then proceed straight to the dole line, but I recall it being quite... popular. My detractors (~70% of you) turned out to be right, and I'm still unemployed. Wasn't my intention. Just sort of happened. Apparently I'm a bit mad.

Most of the money spent was through IV waste (ca 600k in 3 years). I guess IV exists mostly to enrich dubious companies set up to handle "integration."
No oversight. I would guess there's bribery involved, though it could just be spectacular incompetence. I've always had a hard time with Hanlon's razor.

Currently awaiting pension review after being told I can't be integrated, after I was paid 45k a year, for three years, to do nothing, as the official integration measure (while my so-called employers were paid 2-3x that amount).

That's my 10-year review of CH. Been a pretty boring 10 years, to be honest. How are ya'll doing?

That was hard.

Popcorn?

Wow, well you sound fairly proud of your "achievement"

I find it hard to believe that you could not get a job of some sort anywhere in the country in 10 years

You can do better. The eventual rescue of credit suisse (due to their screw-ups) will cost much more to the tax payer and even our pensionskasse will be affected by the sh*t sold by CS. Maybe you need to unemployed during 5 million years to be comparable to the pros.

This is a Friday thread. At least you are in zero danger of getting citizenship

Mods: can we merge this thread with the original one as posted by Sean Connery?

Not sure what OP is hoping to achieve here ... maybe he just wants to let us know that he's gotten nowhere since he got "home"? In your late 30s (according to your original thread), what an achievement!

They already have it .... why do you think they are still here
