switzerland

Quote from science_trader:

St Moritz ? Is that a joke ? You've never been in Verbier on a 12/31 !

Otherwise Switzerland is definitely boring....but who cares : London, Paris and Milan are 1h flight away from Geneva and the flight ticket is 80$...

I have.... it rocked..... I remember gathering in the town square near midnight and kissing about 20 or 30 ladies who didn't have a clue who I was....... those were wild days.
 
Quote from sublime-scalper:

what about nightlife? what about culture? music? the arts? etc.

and of course.....what about the chicks???

Switzerland has some of the most beautiful ladies in Europe. The problem is that everything is sooooo darned expensive (from a USD perspective). A night out won't cost you anything less that $150 or so assuming u will hit a dance club.

I actually use to bounce for Nelson's Pub back in the late 80's. That was a rocking place in Geneva. I haven't lived there since 1990 though.
 
Quote from science_trader:

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 James Bond ? I think it's enough to convince you ;-)

The only problem in Switzerland is the general mind. They are not very open to newcomers. However, we have 23% of foreigners here...

I found Geneva to be the most open as far as social life for foreigners or new comers. The Dutch opers (sp??) are all over the place and are absolutely crazy. Great fun!!
 
Been to Switzerland three times. Of all the places I've been so far I'd have to rank it #1 in scenery, even over British Columbia and our Northwest U.S.

I was always particulary impressed by how clean the little mountain villages were. It was as if little elves came out at night and picked up every single cigarette butt and piece of paper everywhere. I hardly ever saw any litter. People must have alot of pride in the way their towns look. I bought my first really nice watch their in a little town above Interlaken, a TAG that I still treasure to this day.

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

Just kissing ? I'm very surprised... :D
 
I'm french nationality, new in switzerland, Geneva.

Getting a permit and installing for me have been quitte easy.
I had to pay a little a lawyer and the thing has been done.

Living here is very very expensive, especially for me who was living in Marrakech before.

Lot of foreigner in Geneva, so peaple are very open minded.

Quality of life is as high as it can be (education, medical, property,...).

Boring ? Yes and no, it depends what you are looking for.
There are events, festivals, museums, the lake (remember here are the winner of cups), mountains, nighclubs (very very very expensive).
Of course if you are young, and young minded, nothing here will be enough for you. But you can travel a little when you really need to change your mind (that is what I do).

Chicks, very very beautiful. (Someone told me that it is special to Geneva, not the same thing in Zurich.)

Regards.
