Vaud and Geneva are painful for taxes. Fribourg and Valais are quite cool. I don't know for Neuchatel. Note that Vaud and Geneva have a disastrous budget at the moment and I wouldn't be surprised if taxes in these cantons increase one of these days... The 'caisse AVS' is the social pension...

Were you so much disparate with your trading that you needed to sign up for that ? If this is the case, then let me advise you to leave trading immediately...before falling in the biggest scam ever : the market itself... No edge, no money.

It wasn't a referendum. As in a lot of countries, federal taxes are allowed by law for a defined period. This law has to be renewed each time. In most countries the parlament does it, but Switzerland is one of the unique true democracies in this world.... Why did people vote yes ? Because you...

We had a federal vote today. One of the questions was if people here wanted the abolition of VAT and federal tax. 80% said no. A new repartition of cantonal taxes between cantons has been voted too. Zug will have to give more of its taxes to the other cantons. The result should probably be a...

Just kissing ? I'm very surprised... :D

Interlaken ? Better dead than living there...unless your are pensioned... ;-)

Nightlife : I don't care that much. I have my places where I usually go and I'm happy with that. Culture : very high standard, especially in Basel and Zurich Music-Arts : alternative arts are very developped Chicks : Ursula Andress is Swiss...is it enough for you ? Remember the first...

It depends on what you're looking for in term of excitement. Here I have all I need : mountains and snow for skiing in winter time, lakes for windsurfing in summertime. Going skiing and windsurfing till 3PM local time, trading NY markets till 10PM and then going out. I love this life...and...
