Putin's daughter highly recommends living in Switzerland. For the sake of peace and being left alone....You just offer the biggest aggressor a safe haven for their looted art and you get left alone

We have a bunch of offices in Zurich, Basel, Lausanne (and somewhere else, I have forgotten…)
Many of the colleagues based there actually don‘t live in one of the Cantons, they live in either Germany or France, and commute in (typically via train) as needed, because it is so expensive to live in Switzerland itself though.
I do like the train trip down from Stuttgart to Konstanz, the area around the lake is beautiful.
Sadly no, Pleasanton or Sunnyvale would be the closest.you got an office in Sacramento?

Is that so? I thought Macau would be up there.It is hugely expensive as a place to live.
Other than Hong Kong, which is the apparently the most expensive place to live in the world, the next four most expensive places to live are all in Switzerland.
Lovely scenery, though,
Yes that’s a series of pretty baseless generalisations!.A complete generalisation but Switzerland to me always seems like the biggest melting pot in Europe, there doesn't seem to be a "Swiss look" if that makes sense? Another generalisation but they all seem to be so well spoken and intelligent as well.
Not even close. There's not very much in Macau, besides casinos. Less usable land in Hong Kong, and (despite the current and past administration's best efforts), Hong Kong is still a world financial centre, on a par with London and New York.Is that so? I thought Macau would be up there.

People here won't be able to properly conceptualise "hugely expensive".It is hugely expensive as a place to live.
When we used to play gigs in Switzerland, you'd triple the merch prices and they'd still think it was cheap. I think our record merch total was about 6000 euros after a show in Lucerne on our last ever tour. Rider was always f***ing banging too.People here won't be able to properly conceptualise "hugely expensive".
I have family who live in Zurich, so I've been over a few times. Last time I went just before COVID a black coffee from Starbucks cost 11 euros and a meal out at an Italian restaurant which was, frankly, shit and no better than eating in Bella Italia, for 3 people (3x mains, 1 bottle of wine) - was 250 euros.
I was there for three days, and took 300 quid. I ran out on the second day.
Despite all that, the train fares are actually cheaper than here. Four hour trek from Zurich to Milan through the Alps was £40.
Same for me with our Geneva office. Almost every member of staff that works there doesn't live in Switzerland.We have a bunch of offices in Zurich, Basel, Lausanne (and somewhere else, I have forgotten…)

Like the French smell of garlic or the Germans are boring (Strummer?)
They accepted Euros? I know some places do but most places I went insisted on using the Franc.When we used to play gigs in Switzerland, you'd triple the merch prices and they'd still think it was cheap.

Let me guess, its from all the running away.True, the French don’t smell of garlic, they usually smell of BO.

I had a pal who was a travelling musician and was living in Geneva. She had a lengthy period of employment in another Swiss Canton and had to leave her flat mid week to move.I used the go there a fair amount for work to Basel on the border with France and Germany - its so civilised and nice it makes your teeth hurt... boring though

Amazing scenery - I had to fly out of Zurich one time and got the train from Basel truly beautiful, also very impressed that it had an upstairs and downstairs - madness!!! I'm sure someone's done the maths but surely on some routes into London it'd be worth building for them rather than a white elephant like HS2.
Would guess it's tunnel related?Double decker trains are everywhere in France , from TGVs to paris suburb to regional trains, don’t know why we don’t have them here.
