Hey guys

How are you? So glad that i found this site and i'm looking forward to hearing from some of you soon!

Just wondering does anyone know anything about social work here in Zurich? From what I've seen there doesnt look like much but I thought i'd ask anyway. Please point me in the right direction if you know anything that might be of help

Cheers

PS: Love the heat here in summer!!!

Hey, welcome to EF!

I'm from Australia as well, moved here to get away from the heat ... at least I left the humidity behind ... :/

Enjoy settling in, and check out the social events section!

Gidday!

Are you a social worker looking for work?

I thought I'd found the humidity coming here Never felt so hot and sweaty at just 28C.

Welcome simpleozzieguy. Where are you from in the wide brown land?

G'day mate! I'm originally from Zürich, I'm a social worker doing online counseling (www.papa-help.ch) - if you think I could be of any assistance to you, contact me.

Hahaha, love the pic man!

I'm from Sydney what about yourself?

Hi Zurichhegel, Thnx for your post! I tried to send you a private message but couldn't (not really IT literate and there was no option to send you provate msg) How do i contact you? Cheers simpleozzieguy!

Hi Aussie guy
welcome to the forum, am a perth girl myself, and enjoy your winter too, snow and everything

Hmmm, dunno bout geting away from the humidity but yeah at least we get to see real mountains here! Where in Australia are you from? I'm from Sydney

The PM function is now on, there is also a contact button on my website. C u as the kids would say

Hey! i'm new here myself, only been here 3 weeks but enjoying it lots... well when the weather is nice! lol Its nice to be able to swim in the lake too when its warm just like i would in the ocean back in Perth! Can't believe how many Australians i keep seeing posting on this site!

And yet another Aussie popping in to say hi, and also from Sydney, hope this rain isnt putting you off....

Well, with the trams thrown in, just makes me feel like I'm visiting a grown-up Melbourne ...

There are a lot of Aussies about ... I think the thread title is attracting the little blighters!

Welcome from yet another aussie.
Cheers

Heh, missed this earlier ... I'm from Sydney as well, towards the south (slightly inland from Botany Bay) ... as for the humidity, not sure of the actual figures but it feels less humid in summer here than I'm used to back there - on the hottest summer days, that is. May go looking for a met site now, to do a comparison ... but may fail due to low motivation ...

Welcome to EF, simpleozzieguy The city maintains a rather good social service and I have family working there. What exactly are your interests?

Heat? Summer? Where????

welcome to Switz simpleozzieguy (hahaha love the name, fuels that part of my brain reserved for Ozzie jokes )

Give a shout if you ever head to Lucerne

Thanks Nathu! Great to be here. I was just wondering if finding a job as foreign social worker here is possible or not. Do you have any ideas? Cheers

Hi,

Just jumping on the "Aussie Band Wagon" here.

I've been in Zurich for 3 days now, it's awesome, but Sunday seems to be suprisingly dead....

Sorry I can't help with the social job thing, but I hope you settle in OK.

P.S. I moved here from Sydney as well, but I'm a Queenslander originally.... not sure what the fuss is about with heat and humidity.

Same here, working hard the whole week, it is really tough to go trough
the weekend without having something/not much to do.
I thinking about buying a cycle to do some trips/races, for example around the zurich lake or to schaffhausen, but currently having the money , because having some other projects running.
Should be an expensive/light one.
