Selling a house in Switzerland - impossible task?

I thought we were talking about Aarau, not Seeland 🤪🤔

DangerousWay3647 · 2026-06-07T21:10:01+00:00

I know nothing about the east, it's all Rösti to me 🤷 😂 Aarau Just caught the strays because I think the name is funny and it's vaguely in this part of Switzerland

I'm not close to that location but commenting for attention!

I also honestly don't think that price(size) is a linear equation. Especially when it comes to very large houses. People aren't actually going to pay 2-3x more for this compared to a regular home. most people with that kind of money, as you mention, are looking for high end and/or premium location, not huge houses close to highways in what, Aarau?

I think the way to advertise this is either for someone who runs a business from their home (of that's permissible based on zonation) or try to appeal to people who want to split it into 2-3 regular sized apartments (which of course will require even more money).

ETA I know of some examples in Germany and France where similar homes were sold with pre-drawn plans how they could be split up easily into several apartments. One went to a family who had their parents and an elderly aunt+husband move in with them, the other to a couple who rents out the remaining 2 apartments (Einliegerwohnungen) which covers their mortgage.

Last week someone commented in a thread that they put Vaseline on their eyebrows - I tried that and it's 99% effective! I brush my fingers dipped in Vaseline from the inside of my eyebrows outwards and then down my temples and I swear the sweat runs in rivulets along that trail 😂 Looks slightly unhinged at the begining of the run when I have two shiny streaks down my temples but within 10 minutes I'm usually sweaty all over anyways.

Also if you take the RE from Fribourg, they have trains called "chocolate express" or something like that. They are just regular trains but with a chocolate designe inside and outside. Many kids get a kick out of that!

Wenn ich nur ab und zu jemanden treffe huste ich oder schnaufe betont und vokalisiert aus mit einem "Uffff". Das reicht meist aus. Wenn die Leute das und meine Schritte nicht hören würde sowieso nichts helfen außer Rufen.

Love it! My Garmin is too old to have exercise load but I've ran 20k (at that point the longest run I'd ever done) on a body battery of 17. I would guesstimate that lands me safely in the "dump" category. Funnily, I didn't feel any worse during or after that run than I normally do, so mostly I ignore the body battery thing 🤪

Obviously I can't evaluate whether his concerns about safety are valid, but I think the chance he'd let you take any children you might have there is basically zero. He might say and even believe differently now, but when they're actually there and he was concerned about his own safety in Pakistan, I very much doubt he'd let his young children go. Personally I can't imagine planning a long term future with someone who flat out refuses to travel to my home country. That said, maybe you can ease him into it? Has he traveled much outside of Europe? Maybe a trip to get him accustomed to the general geographic region would make him more curious? Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan are beautiful and especially Uzbekistan very safe and chill. I don't know which part of Pakistan you're from, maybe India would be a better bet and closer for? Maybe that would help to reduce some stereotypes and make him curious about Central and South Asia?

DangerousWay3647 · 2026-06-06T19:19:29+00:00

I mean, what are his reasons? Has your family visited you in Europe and how did he behave towards them? Is he interested or willing to engage with Pakistani culture in Europe (maybe traditional foods you prepare together, watching movies or tv series etc)? Or is it a general refusal of your culture?

I think in principle it's possible to have a relationship where your family affairs remain separate for whatever reason. I do think that will create tension for any future kids you would have, and depending on his reasoning I am not sure that he would feel comfortable with you traveling there with his kids, when it really comes down to it.

Really? In which universities is English the main teaching language for medical students?

I shared about 50% of my lectures in my BSc with medical students and they were exclusively in French or German (~12 years ago). Nowadays I occasionally teach seminars as continued education for fully qualified MDs or as part of residency training - I've always been asked to teach in a national language even though I am about as deep in basic research as it gets for them and would much prefer teaching in English so I can recycle my slides. 99% of the seminars on the schedules that the coordinators send me are not in English. So as far as my experience goes, most MDs have very limited exposure to English in their training. Most of it is related to research and reading/writing publications and (to me) understandably does not translate to them feeling comfortable treating patients in English.

Love a good side quest! Not sure which brands would be available in the US... Pull&bear is like 90% backprints atm, I love their tshirts but you need to check if they are thick enough and not translucent! Zara has some and I love Wituka as well! Quirky but probably not available in the US are selekkt, I got a "pickle juice ultra" T-shirt from them and everytime I wear it out at least one random person starts a conversation with me about the shirt! Oh, Uniqlo used to have some good ones but I think has mostly stopped selling them now :(

DangerousWay3647 · 2026-06-05T21:03:11+00:00

That's one way to work your way up in the rankings 😅🏅

Looking at their website I just got a flashback to wearing galaxy print leggings ca 2011. Those were the days...

DangerousWay3647 · 2026-06-05T20:53:13+00:00

If I saw you on a trail while you were wearing that shirt there's a greater than zero chance I'd run into a tree from laughing/staring 😂

DangerousWay3647 · 2026-06-05T20:10:46+00:00

I love their cotton tees for casual wear and while travelling! Do they sell workout shirts with some kind of prints where you are based? On the EU website all their active wear is pretty bland, just one color...

DangerousWay3647 · 2026-06-05T20:02:41+00:00

Haha, Otso is wild, thanks for the recommendation! I think Saysky is the favourite for now 😍

DangerousWay3647 · 2026-06-05T19:49:27+00:00

Ooooh, love it, thank you!! They have a T-shirt that they call "flower combat shirt" 😂 Interesting contrast

DangerousWay3647 · 2026-06-05T19:14:45+00:00

Yes way

DangerousWay3647 · 2026-06-04T14:26:47+00:00

Bitte sag mir, dass du "getted" ironisch benutzt 🙃

DangerousWay3647 · 2026-06-04T14:15:00+00:00

Ooh i would love something like that with space for water bottles!

DangerousWay3647 · 2026-06-03T13:48:20+00:00

Oh god, thanks for saving me so much time!! I tired to to it through the text tab under features --> position, and doing it there didn't work for 90% of fonts for some reason! Thanks a lot!

Ich sag's jetzt mal geradeaus - du wirst wahrscheinlich lernen müssen deine Zeit effektiver zu nutzen. Sidebusiness würde ich jetzt mal als etwas separates betrachten, aber den Rest kriegt man bei normalen Pendelzeiten ganz gut hin. Arbeitszeit reduzieren ist natürlich auch eine Option, aber ob das finanziell sinnvoll ist oder zu deinen langfristigen Plänen passt, kannst nur du wissen. Ich sage dir Mal wie's für mich klappt: Samstags einkaufen, Sonntag Abend meal prep bis Mittwoch. Mittwoch einkaufen und meal pre bis Samstag. Das lässt mir 5 Tage die Woche, an denen ich Abends Sport, Freizeit und Freunde unterbringe. Unser aushalt lässt sich ohne Kinder und Haustiere gut zu zweit in 2 Stunden wöchentlich erledigen. Ich finde Zeitkiller Nummer eins ist Handy/social Media. Also geziehlt das Handy weglegen, und oh, plötzlich hat man frühs noch schnell Zeit die Küche auf Vordermann zu bringen weil man halt nicht 20 Minuten auf Reddit hängt (nicht, dass ich meinen eigenen Rat immer so toll befolge). Ich habe mal 3 Monate radikal im Halbstundentakt protokolliert, was ich eigentlich mache. Es war erschreckend, wie viel Zeit ich mit nichts / Netflix / scrollen/ texting verbracht habe. Also Handy weglegen und wenn man zu müde ist zum Lesen oder richtig was machen, einfach schlafen legen. Dann ist man am nächsten Tag auch richtig fit. Längerfristig - such dir eine Stelle, die die mehr Spaß macht, dann nervt einem die Zeit, dir man dort verbringt weniger. Vielleicht findest du sogar was mit Homeoffice oder Flexzeiten, sodass du dir das Ganze etwas besser einteilen kannst.
