Reminds me > of the old joke > Well, if you don't have a suitcase full of $100 bills, opening a bank account in Switzerland is surprisingly difficult, especially if you are moving here from the U.S. If immigration then decides to request from you documents they already have, thus delaying your residence permit by a few more weeks, the bank ends up returning your first salary, just about the same time you have to pay a 3 month rental deposit for a small and ridiculously expensive apartment. Everything is slowly falling into place, but it has been an interesting ride. > *Heaven and Hell* > > Heaven Is Where: > > The French are the chefs > The Italians are the lovers > The British are the police > The Germans are the mechanics > And the Swiss make everything run on time > > > Hell is Where: > > The British are the chefs > The Swiss are the lovers > The French are the mechanics > The Italians make everything run on time > And the Germans are the police > The trains and trams do seem to run remarkably on time, but I don't think Eva would be too happy about me setting out to test how good lovers the Swiss are...
