I hated it hated it hated it the first month. Then made friends and started to love it. But finally came to the conclusion that it was my job that was making me a miserable cow.

I have made the decision to leave after 3 months (and go back to the UK, I can't afford a prolongued unemployment period in this country), but I do know its because of the job, not because of Switzerland.

Same boat re health insurance but I have decided to pay since who knows, different time different job I may well one day want to return - and, of course, its the law (the cheapest I found was under 150 CHF a month)
