Quote: Tom1234 Although smokers claim to actually enjoy smoking, I bet there aren't many ex-smokers who won't admit that they only smoked because of the addiction. Try and give up and see how bloody difficult it is. Then decide who are the tough guys - the ones who give up or the ones who spout on about their rights. As I've said before, I don't mind if people smoke as long as I don't have to join them by default. I...

Quote: pratzabrat87 To be honest, I was ravaged - after I, in rather arty fashion, broke my spectacles. Now I suffer from a rather rare eye condition - keratoconus, and have been thoughtful enough to not carry a spare pair of spectacles. As with all other issues I have had in CH - I consulted EF and found out about the Fielmann - and off I hopped to Bahnofstr, thinking I would get the cheapest frame that there is and in the process lighten...

Quote: Tilia I suspect that the fact that it is a private school makes the Gemeinde less interested in making proper arrangements for the kids unfortunately. I suspect they don't really see it as their responsibility. Wouldn't it be possible to get a bridge built like the one they have further up for the kids going to the public school?

I'm grateful for being an human, so many things to test, experiment and learn. I'm grateful for being a man, so I can fall in love with a woman. I'm grateful for being on this forum, it's so friendly. I'm grateful for having lost my friend, it has learnt me plenty of things. I'm grateful for having the problems I have now, I can only become a better man.

I'm still very English when it comes to money. I'll take out I want but I'll always ask for "Gemischte Noten" so I don't end up with just one 200 franc note. True my wallet ends up stuffed with 20's and 10's but I feel more comfortable. Still have memories of having a £50 pound note that not a single shop, or pub would touch for reasons of "not enough change" and "it...

Thanks for the pic Flashman. As creepy as bone walls are, the question of what they do with the other bones is even creepier. Does anyone here know? There must be someone among all the diverse EFers who has a foot in the door of the Swiss bone-removal industry.

besides, these 50 CHF notes are totally ugly. I try to avoid having any of those in my purse. serious. just like the 50 Rappen coins, can't stand them either.

did i just walk into craigslist missed connections?

Quote: ch-expat Another Mario Botta. The BIZ in Basel. When I first saw this, it reminded me of the building below, by Aurelio Galfetti (who along with Mario Botta is a leading exponent of the "Ticino School" of architecture http://www.lausanne.ch/view.asp?docI...354&language=E ) . The style is very recognisable. The Ulysse Building, Chauderon crossroads, Lausanne. Built 1987.
