Those who moved to Switzerland, why did you move and how is it?

Didnt bother in the end.

I had concernes about all the Edelweiss effecting my Hay fever. Cow bells and swiss horns being too loud and mountains too high to climb.

I must say it looks great in the book Heidi.

A beautiful Swiss girl and a scruffy young lad living on a council estate in London.

Surely a match made in heaven when you are 10 years old.

She was my first real love.

Go to Zurich, things are functional, fun, and it’s a great city. Culturally more German.

Don’t bother with Geneva, it’s super small, culturally French, things are generally less good, for the same eye watering swiss prices. You may as well live in France for half the cost if that’s what you want.

I’ve been to Switzerland a few times. It’s clean, safe, beautiful, leisurely and sophisticated. An amazing place to retire with $10m+. But at least for me, a tempting environment that’s too comfortable and indulgent for serious work.

Why did you not go to South America?

Which of the national languages do you speak? What are your favourite hobbies/sports/pasttimes?

Note that it's become more difficult for people from the Old Country to come here since I immigrated, as we've changed the system: EU folk have priority, non-EU get whatever slots are left.

With a US pass you ought to be able to come without a visa for a few months; why not visit for a while, talk with people*, and decide with some on-the-ground experience?

* I also talked with John Walker before I came; unfortunately that's no longer an option.
