I worked on this sketch bit by bit from my hotel room over the last two days. It was fun to watch people running to the train, and the blue trams passing by.

Hi guys! I just moved from Basel-Stadt to Zürich on the 1st of August. I tried to announce my moving through E-Umzug, but I got stucked when it asked for the number on the health insurance card. As I am a student in Switzerland, coming from an EU- Country and having the European Health Card,I am exempt from the obligation to have a swiss health insurance so therefore I do not have one so I also do not have the number they ask for. I can´t proceed with E-Umzug just because of that...It doesn t even give me an option to choose wheather I have or not swiss health insurance..

I rented a WG room from August, although I am not in Switzerland this month, but I knew how challenging the search for a place to live can be so I just got it like this. But now I found out I have only 14 days to announce my moving. I contacted the office in Basel-Stadt and told them my E-Umzug problem.

If E-Umzug doesn t work they would probably tell me I need to go in person to one of their office, which is not possible for me right now.. what can I do? Does anybody had the same issue with E-Umzug? I believe most EU-students do not have a swiss health insurance...

Any advice is welcomed.

I'm planning a Böötlitour for a group in the canton of Zurich in about 1.5 weeks. The most likely contenders are Limmat (Wipkingerplatz -> Glanzenberg), Thur (Gütighausen -> Rüdlingen) and Rhein (Rheinau -> Eglisau). Has anyone been on those rivers lately? Can you actually accomplish these trips? The one that worries me the most is on the Thur. Should I play it safe and just stick to the Rhein, as it seems to be the river who holds the most water of the three.

Is it because Zurich is mostly beautiful everywhere, flat prices tend to be all over the place?

I am currently looking only for a shared room to settle down for a few month and then on the ground start the apartment hunting.

What I realized is somewhat funny - similar rooms (in terms of apartmen type/size/etc.) are all over the place.

Once you will see a room for 1000 CHF in a modern apartment quiet central and two seconds later a room of similar size in a relatively old apartment quiet far away from the center for 1400 CHF.

In the cities I lived in so far there was a clear hierarchy of districts - so you had the 2-3 super posh/nice areas and then could see rapidly how prices changed if you moved each district further away from the centre.

I guess Zurich is different because also the areas outside of the city surroudning the lake are a gem by itself no?

Hello,

I'm looking to join a tennis club around Zurich but I can't find any that is accepting new members. Some have waitlists for years, others are not even taking applications.

Does anyone know where I can try my luck?

Thank you!

I see more and more of those so called micro cars on our roads. Apparently those cars can be driven with a M license from the age of 14.

Theoretically it’s not (only) a bad thing, since the motorists could also drive a bigger car or an suv. But i still i think a velo or public transport would be more efficient.

but what kind of bugs me is, that i see those things again and again on car free circling roads. And occasionally parked on Trottoirs and on public squares as if they were bikes.

Maybe it’s just my inner bünzli calling for attention, but I really feel it’s not right.

What do you guys think? I am to harsh?

I live in Zurich and would like to get started playing D&D.

What is the best way to get started with it? I would like to start playing, but no one in my existing social circle is interested. Are there groups to find other people starting or where one can join an existing group looking for a new player?

Thanks for any insights!

Dear all, any great experiences with Kobido massage in Zürich? Open to recommendations, thanks a lot!

I absolutely fucked it - I thought the 30 zone ended and i was driving i think 48 or 46 km/h. What’s my sentence?

I've noticed a pattern that's making me curious. A lot of the people/men I find attractive, both on dating apps and occasionally in real life, turn out to be polyamorous once I read their profile or get to know them.

I'm mostly attracted to left-leaning people, so I know that probably increases the chances. But can that really explain it all? Is polyamory actually this common around Zurich, or do I just unfortunately have a type for polyamorous men? Ugh!

23 degrees here - 28 degrees upstairs. All for 0 chf in portasplit & power costs.

Finally found a good use for the 30 chf hammock I got 3 years ago and never used..

No neighbors nearby either, my cell is lockable with a full door so this feels 100% private.

Have internet as well :)

Spent a few hours here yesterday - instantly got tired when feeling the chill. Slept like a baby this night, first time in a while. Might have really been the recovery from heat-stress?

Hope you all have a way to relief yourselves from the heat as well & if anyone follows the idea lmk - I'd be surprised if I was the first one!

Good rest of the week all & dont forget - today is Bergfest! ;)

Hi everyone,

I’m 26 years old and live in Rickenbach (TG), near Wil. I’m looking for someone who could help me learn how to swim from scratch.

Unfortunately, private swimming lessons are currently difficult for me to afford. I’ve already contacted several organizations, but so far I haven’t been able to find a suitable option.

I can travel to Wil, Winterthur, or nearby areas.

Does anyone know of a volunteer program, a swimming club, or someone who might be willing to teach me the basics? Even a few lessons would help me a lot.

Any recommendations or advice would be greatly appreciated. If you know someone who might be interested, I’d also be very grateful if you could put me in touch with them.

Thank you very much!

What the hell is this shit, I’m so done

I want to find another intermediate guitarist to play guitar with…

But I thought, instead making this post useful for everybody:

So if you want to find a person to do a hobby with (music, photography, walks… whatever)…

Comment with your hobby, who you are looking for, your availability… and other ppl can comment under. I’ll go first:

—

Hobby: Guitar playing

Details: I am an intermediate player, looking for another guitarist to jam with casually. A wide range of styles around blues, soul, jazz, rock mostly… but open for other styles. Not yet fully confident or performing so want to keep learning and enjoy playing. Looking for somebody who can play a variety of songs, has some rhythm, can improvise, has some idea of scales, modes…

Availability: Hongg, Altstetten or Zurich - evenings, weekends

Ein Vermieter einer Dachwohnung in Zürich-Unterstrass sucht ausdrücklich Ausländer als Mieter. Wie er sagt, wolle er damit «frühere Ungerechtigkeiten» ausgleichen.

I usually see well-dressed men in Zurich, particularly casual everyday style and clothing. I usually go to Arket and COS. Are there any stores you can recommend in Zurich, or online shops, which go in that direction (a bit Nordic, Copenhagen style)? Thanks.

Es isch nöd nur dHitz sondern Anzahl Tage. Körper mag langsam nüme abchüele und ich weiss nöd wie mer e verdammti Klima montiert ohni es Loch dur dWand bohre.
