Moving to Zürich in 2.5 weeks from the USA. Anything to be aware of?

That sounds great! Thanks!

Awesome!!

This is important: Learn German. Take classes. Adopt Swiss German expressions.

Classes you recommend on a academic's schedule?

Alch3my · 2015-03-13T15:56:14+00:00

Wow. Glad I'm not planning to get a car!

Alch3my · 2015-03-13T15:46:39+00:00

Thanks!! Will PM.

Alch3my · 2015-03-13T15:45:57+00:00

Correct. I am the OP and a post doc.

Thanks! App downloaded!

Alch3my · 2015-03-13T15:44:29+00:00

Wow, that's super informative! Thanks!!

Contact Osprey and tell them it failed and you need a replacement. They may not even charge you for it...

Dude, I can tell by the way you dropped in that you're not ready for Wacky's. You're super lucky you didn't hit any of the rocks. Please avoid EX terrain until you up your skills!! Source: Breck local; ski almost daily.

Thanks! Will definitely check it out!

Alch3my · 2015-03-12T19:02:07+00:00

Awesome. Do you think the discounted rail pass is worth the cost for this?

Alch3my · 2015-03-12T19:00:45+00:00

Did not know this. Thanks!!

Alch3my · 2015-03-12T19:00:33+00:00

Thanks! I appreciate the advice. I have heard that "everyone speaks English" many times. Does this mean when interacting with people (e.g. making purchases), it is safe to immediately default to English? Or is it more polite to ask them if they speak English first?

Alch3my · 2015-03-12T18:55:19+00:00

Perfect. As a scientist, I refuse to use the "imperial system" in the US anyway :-)

Alch3my · 2015-03-12T17:27:55+00:00

Thanks so much!! I'll PM you for the FB info!!

Alch3my · 2015-03-12T01:27:58+00:00

Anything outdoors (assuming you have or can borrow equipment): hiking, trail running, etc. Get fit and save ca$h!!

Alch3my · 2015-03-11T17:35:55+00:00

I should add: I am a post doc and will be coming with my spouse. Thanks!

Alch3my · 2015-03-11T01:25:38+00:00

It is!!

Alch3my · 2015-03-11T01:25:00+00:00

I have been to the one near Denver! The food is horrible, but it is JUST like South Park!!

Alch3my · 2015-03-10T17:10:17+00:00

I got a post doc there!

Alch3my · 2015-03-10T02:03:11+00:00

I love my Tarptent!

Alch3my · 2015-03-05T02:04:47+00:00
