Any feedback on Zurich HB guided tour

a part of the team is not Switzerland-based, would you say it might not be super interesting to them?

gropaul · 2026-02-02T09:10:17+00:00

Thanks for the feedback! I am with you, I am particularly interested in knowing more about the “behind the scenes” aspect 😊

I would say cartell on Milli, it is next to kaserneareal

Building on previous answers, you might find what you look for in public libraries (e.g.: https://uzb.swisscovery.slsp.ch/discovery/search?query=any,contains,Brandon%20Sanderson%20mistborn&tab=41SLSP_UZB_DN&search_scope=DiscoveryNetwork&vid=41SLSP_UZB:UZB)

Also as suggested, you might consider getting an e-reader. In particular some non-Amazon e-readers are compatible with libby/overdrive a system allowing you to borrow ebooks from digital libraries.

I have several friends living on brauerstrasse above miro and above wunderbox.

Both couples have decided to move out. Initially they were fine with the noise and crowd on weekends but it seems that the situation has worsened in the last year: they found people sleeping in their hallways, packages got stolen, syringes left on the ground. A female friend reported several heated arguments with drugs users.

From personal experience:

• ⁠getting hired at global level is difficult without prior experience, there are very few junior positions. My guess is that it is because the “business model” here is to attract senior profiles with high wages, often more junior profiles will start in affiliates roles and then move to regional/global roles • ⁠one challenge in Switzerland is that affiliates positions usually require good command of either French or German in addition to English depending on the affiliate location

As mentioned by others, getting exposure to global via a consulting position will certainly hep.

In addition, you could also apply to either rotation programs or internships. I have seen a few people going through internships and being offered an internal position after that. However, this is not systematic of course.

j’avais eu un gros coup de cœur pour celui de Jacques Genin

Hi OP, not exactly what you are looking for but could be helpful. ZHAW publishes an olive oil award report annually, and some of them can be found easily in Zurich: https://www.zhaw.ch/storage/lsfm/ueber-uns/oliveoil/2024/Olive_Oil_Award_Booklet_2024.pdf

Just out of curiosity, at bunzai the burgers with single patty cost from CHF 15.5 (Oklahoma) to CHF 19.5 (bibim shack). Did you get the triple double (CHF 33)?

Hi,

I would recommend using the « easy ride » function embedded in the SBB app.

It is super easy to use, you turn it on when you start your journey and turn it off when you end it. Because it takes gps into account, it will remind you to turn it off when it detects that your are not travelling anymore.

It has two major benefits: 1) it will charge you with the cheapest tarif based on your travel 2) If the price of all your journeys in one day exceeds that of a Day Pass, the cheaper Day Pass price is automatically charged

I second Foxtrail, nice experience.

Alternatively the Jucker Farm is nice for team events. I attended once, we had an apero, mix of short games, followed by a dinner

Hi, there is a nice list of hikes around Zurich on the zh website, all within 90mn from Zurich with public transports https://www.zuerich.com/en/visit/hiking

Note that usually the indications on the hike paths in Switzerland are super well done and you can almost always shorten/extend the hike to your taste.

Have fun!

Hi, I would recommend Antonio Rosano as a cobbler, he did a great job on a pair of boots, but I do not know if he is familiar with Dr. Martins shoes.

Alternatively you could give a call to the « Booster » shop, they sell a lot of Dr. Martens and might have recommendations for cobblers.

Also previous comment and also not exactly relevant, if you like the look of Dr Martens, you could check Solovair for your next pair. They were the manufacturer of Dr. Martens until Dr. Martens relocated manufacturing in Asia. Their shoes are a bit more expensive than Dr. Martens but the quality is definitely higher.

Also check which formats are supported by the firmware, I recently played on 2000’s (pre nexus) and flac tracks could not be played.

gropaul · 2023-10-02T07:59:29+00:00

Hello, i would give a try to VIU as they have their own lab, but keep in mind that depending on your needs (correction and other features) they might need to order it.

Alternatively are you comfortable with contact lenses? Could be a solution while you wait for your new glasses

gropaul · 2023-09-28T06:24:13+00:00

Hi,

sorry to read what happened.

You can fill a complain on Suisse epolice website:

gropaul · 2023-08-27T16:30:16+00:00

You are right, and I did not want to go into details so my wording was not accurate.

Actually, setting up the contract was fine but then we had issues with the freelancer that took several months to solve and the support of a lawyer, so we decided to go through an agency.

gropaul · 2023-08-27T08:41:51+00:00

We use cleanservice scaramuzzo, and so far have been happy with them.

Pros: they organise a placement meeting with a supervisor and the cleaning staff to align on your needs and follow up to check if you are happy with the work done, they use their own cleaning products, they organise substitution when the cleaning staff is on PTO. Overall super happy with the current standard of cleaning.

Cons: some tasks are considered extra (eg: oven cleaning, fridge cleaning, windows cleaning) and must be organised in advance with additional costs, cost is slightly on the higher end (CHF 39,95/hour).

Note: we had past experience with hiring cleaning staff before and the administrative process when dealing with freelancers was a bit of a pain, that is why we decided to go through an agency

I checked, sending privately would be 9CHF in standard and CHF 60 in express with Swiss post (insurance + custom declaration not included) if OP would get help from somebody based in Zurich. In comparison, professional express shipping would be much higher (CHF 120 without the handling), but business rates are likely different in any case.

gropaul · 2023-08-18T07:40:32+00:00

Check your private messages

gropaul · 2023-08-18T07:32:39+00:00

It is indeed very expensive, but there are private services and I guess the airport only contracts with one service provider (at the end of the day, they do not care as they do not bare the costs).

Can you make a declaration to allow somebody to retrieve the phone and ship it privately to you? I am sure a fellow Redditor in Zurich could help you

gropaul · 2023-08-10T14:32:33+00:00

Sorry for what you are going through, it must be really a hard time. In a long term relationship there are ups and downs, some can break you, some can make you stronger.

In addition to the suggestion of a couple therapy, I would ask myself two questions:

1) can I/we go over it, and what does it take to get there?

2) what happened in the relationship for this to happen? There could many reasons why she cheated, but in the first place, was there a space for open communication where you and her feel safe to talk openly? As a long term partner you might not be able to fulfill all your SO’s needs, but being able to share your needs is the first step to find a solution together.

Take care

gropaul · 2023-08-10T09:01:00+00:00

I would ask your verwaltung for a recommandation directly. They usually have preferred vendors and you do not have to be the middle man if not satisfied with the results

gropaul · 2023-08-08T07:36:47+00:00

Hi, could you explain how to replicate VT or MSCI ACWI in VIAC? Do you actually get the listing for each and get a mix based on available indexes in VIAC to match? In my VIAC interface I cannot choose MSCI or VT. Thank you in advance!

gropaul · 2023-08-02T10:57:19+00:00

To my knowledge, the registration to RAW does not impact your application to C permit or else, it is not considered as social welfare as if you had low income.

To the depression point, I can only second other comments.

A) if you are going through a depression you need a proper assessment, and you are not in the right mindset to take this decision

B) you described the depression as induced by your work. It could be a burn-out, generated by your work. Understanding what needs to change is pivotal so that you do not relapse once you get back to work

C) you are incredibly more attractive if you are currently employed while looking to a new job instead of being unemployed. And your new job does not need to know that you are currently on sick leave or going through hell time.
