Huh?
We’re moving.
Into your own basement?
Haha, no.
So, where?
Zürich, Switzerland. Well, actually Winterthur, which is about 20km North North West of Zürich.
Really?
Yes.
Can you get a Swiss bank account?
Yup. Though, somehow, having said account with a firm like UBS or Credit Suisse makes it less romantic.
Switzerland? What about this “CH” place you’re always on about?
Confoederatio Helvetica, the official, Latin name for Switzerland.
Why are you moving to Switzerland?
Work’s sending me there after I volunteered to go.
You’re moving there permanently?
No… only for 2ish years. Mind you, we initially said that about Boston.
Dina and Alex going with you?
Yes. Definitely.
You have a place to live?
Yes. We’ve rented a flat a bit outside the center of Winterthur, about here, where the field was. 3 bedrooms. Lots of windows, and about 65 square metres (700 square feet (this is the last time I’m doing unit conversion for y’all)) of balcony.
When are you moving?
End of September, beginning of October.
Excited?
Yup. We have lots of fun plans (see my earlier bungee jump post :-). Also scared that we’re making a huge move in less than 6 weeks (we’re out of practice).
What are you doing with all your stuff?
- Luggage.
- Air cargo.
- Sea cargo.
- Storage.
- Selling.
What are you selling?
See my next post.
What language do they speak there?
The one official language we don’t speak, (Swiss) German.
I’ll answer any other questions you may have in the comments.
Have people actually asked you these questions?
Yes.
so exciting. Good luck with the move.
