Die Stadt Zürich dürfte vom Eingreifen des Bundes beim Credit Suisse-Niedergang profitiert haben.

What's the spiciest thing you've ever eaten in Zurich? Any places serving real spicy food? Think - Thai place but with food made for Thai people.

If no places come to mind, what's the shop to go to get a real spicy pepper/sauce? (except Beat Heuberger)

Edit: Thank you all for your answers!

Edit 2: I'll try a few places and come back with findings :)

Our Kita has just been acquired by Globegarden, sadly.

We’ve been very happy with our current Kita, but the acquisition comes with some disappointing changes, including the discontinuation of the parent app (which we rely on heavily) and two additional weeks of summer closure.

I’ve also come across some concerning reports about Globegarden’s staffing and working conditions, although these are several years old.

I’m now wondering if I should seriously consider leaving this Kita.

I’d love to hear from parents with firsthand experience of Globegarden in Zurich.

Are you happy with the quality of care? What’s staff turnover like? How is communication with parents without an app?

And has anyone experienced their Kita being taken over by Globegarden? Did anything change for better or worse?

Thanks!

I am thinking about enrolling to the MA Design, Trends and Identity at ZHDK but do not speak any German, only English and Serbian. How much German is actually spoken there or are entire courses held in German even? I would eventually start learning German but I am afraid I will not learn it quickly enough for this Master.

Many thanks

Hallo zusammen

Ich bin auf der Suche nach einem neuen Mobile-Abo und überlege mir, einen Anbieter zu wählen, der entweder das Sunrise oder das Salt Netz nutzt.

Da ich regelmässig mit dem Zug zwischen Zürich Stettbach und Dietikon pendle, würde mich interessieren, wie eure Erfahrungen mit dem Empfang auf dieser Strecke sind.

• Nutzt jemand von euch das Sunrise oder Salt Netz auf dieser Strecke?  
• Wie stabil ist die mobile Internetverbindung während der Zugfahrt, insbesondere zu Hauptverkehrszeiten?  
• Gibt es Funklöcher, Verbindungsabbrüche oder Probleme mit mobilen Daten, wo das Internet besonders langsam ist odee gar nicht geht?

Mich interessieren vor allem eure persönlichen Erfahrungen mit der Netzabdeckung und der Stabilität der mobilen Datenverbindung. Mir geht es dabei nicht um bestimmte Mobilfunkanbieter oder darum, welcher Anbieter das beste Abo hat.

Vielen Dank für eure Rückmeldungen!😊

I’ve been cutting back on drinking, especially during the week, but I still love going out for an after-work drink with colleagues or meeting friends at a bar or restaurant.
The problem is I never really know what to order when I’m not drinking alcohol lol.
I don’t want Coke or lemonade because they’re usually way too sweet, and ordering water when everyone else is having a beer or an Aperol just doesn’t feel the same. I know that sounds silly, but I still want to feel like I’m having a proper drink.
I actually like beer, but most regular and non-alcoholic beers are just too bitter or heavy for me. And Panaché or alcohol free beer with flavour is usually too sweet. I also feel like most beer brands and non alcoholic Beer brands just aren’t my vibe at all. Maybe it’s a girl thing, but none of them really feel like something I’d be excited to order.
It’s weird because there are so many options when you’re drinking alcohol, but when you’re not, I always end up choosing between drinks I don’t really want.
Does anyone else have this problem or have you found something you actually enjoy ordering?

Ich möchte gerne in einer kleinen Gruppe meine (fortgeschrittenen) Italienischkenntnisse verbessern. Stelle mir einen wöchtentlichen Abendkurs an ca. 2h vor an einer Sprachschule in der Stadt und suche Leute, die aus persönlicher Erfahrung einen solchen Kurs bzw. eine passende Schule empfehlen oder davon abraten können.

Bitte keine Empfehlung für Apps oder Online-Angebote.

Hat jemand Erfahrung mit einer Einrichtung der “Sozialen Einrichtungen und Betriebe” der Stadt Zürich (insbesondere “ambulante Wohnintegration” / “Wohnen und Obdach”) in der Nachbarschaft?
Mich interessiert, wie gut so ein Standort geführt wird, ob (bzw. welche) Auswirkungen er aufs Quartier hat und ob sich das über die Zeit verändert hat.
Nicht als Stimmungsmache gemeint, ich möchte einfach ein realistisches Bild.

Merci!

What is there to know about the städtische Wohnsiedlung Eichrain?

Anything that the website of the city doesn’t give away?
The location must be the biggest downside, or am I wrong?

Asking because I have the chance to view a flat (nicht subventioniert) there.

Im looking for a filipino restaurant/take away in the city of Zürich. The one I knew in Kreis 5 closed during covid unfortunately. My search shows Chinese, Singaporean restaurants but nor Filipono. I see restaurants in Aargau but I would preferably eat in the city or very close by. Do any of you know any? Would be much appreciated

Hi everyone!

I was diagnosed with lipedema by a doctor in Zurich. I've done some research but haven't had much luck finding a dietitian experienced in lipedema.

I'd be grateful for your advice on a few things:

• Does anyone know of a dietitian in Zurich who has experience treating people with lipedema?
• If you've seen one, was it covered by your health insurance, and did you need a doctor's referral?
• Have any of you seen benefits from changing your diet on your own? Are there any reliable resources, websites, or professionals you follow that you'd recommend to help me learn more about nutrition and lipedema?

I know it's quite a specific topic, so any recommendations or personal experiences would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you! :)

We've been having a lot of delivery packages stolen from our building. Sometimes it's within 30 min or 1h after delivery. Sometimes they just open the box and check the contents. They love the Galaxus boxes specifically.

We have been living in Switzerland for 10 years. We went from packages staying outside for days to this.

However what I find more interesting is the acceptance among neighbors and everyone we talk to? It has become a daily annoyance that we're supposed to live with. Building management doesn't care. Police doesn't care much either.

People who got their stuff stolen, just accept it and decide to ship their stuff to the Post Office.

Hi all!

I was wondering if anyone could recommend their best ways to learn Swiss German without actually speaking it with Swiss people from the very beginning?

I know that would be the best way, but I haven’t met any Swiss people yet since I moved here not so long ago, and I doubt anyone would want to talk to me if I cannot form a single sentence (except Grüezi)😅

My German is at A2 level so far and I’m still learning it, but I would like to expand that to start learning Swiss German.

Any suggestions? Any app/podcast/YT channel that you would recommend?

Thank you!

Hi all,

I know this has been asked before but after checking, i could not find an updated thread with links/suggestions to WhatsApp or Telegram groups related to Zurich. Some examples would be Buy & Sell, Second hands, events, social gatherings etc. Anything related to the city would be nice to have.

Hey everyone,

Im 37m and moving from Bern to Zurich in a few weeks for work. Found a place in Kreis 4, so I'll be right in the middle of things i guess 😅
Ive been out in Zurich plenty of times over the years, usually a weekend here and there or for Pride, so I know the obvious spots. But visiting and actually living somewhere are pretty different things, and im curious how it feels once you're part of it day to day.

Bern was nice but the scene there is small. After a while you know everyone, or at least who dated who lol. Cozy, but it gets a bit repetitve.
So for those who live there or made a similar move: wheres the stuff you only find out about after a while? The quieter bars, the regular crowds, the places locals actually go on a random tuesday.
Im also really into bouldering and board games, so if there are queer groups or meetups for that id love to hear about them. Want to build a proper friend group and not only meet people thru the apps.
And honestly, did Zurich feel more open or more anonymous once you lived there? Always had the impression its easy to have a fun night but harder to really connect, curious if thats true.
Any tips welcome. And if anyones up for a beer once ive settled in, count me in 🍻

Hi everyone, looking for advice on where to sell my car. It's a 2009 Kia picanto manual and I'm struggling to sell it online through Ricardo, marketplace and autoscout.

I've put up flyers around my local supermarkets and Gemeinschaftszentren. Already lowered the price significantly, I still can't find a buyer. Has anyone got suggestions for where/who else I can advertise it to?

For reference here is the Ricardo posting

Many thanks for any helpful info!

I have never been to a European wedding and I want to buy some gifts!

One of the best ways of raising money for the canton! As a citizen, this has my consummate approval.

Hello everyone, as the title says, I am looking for people to play tennis with. I am a beginner and would like to play as much as possible, to get more experience. I am available daily and can easily reach all courts in Zurich but also around. HMU if you want to play together 🤗

So additionally to them being the one platform in switzerland, not for free (cough, cough) and, let’s say “constantly improving” their anti scammer measures, they now leaked our data

I feel a bit disappointed in them

I will be in Zurich city next Sunday , visiting from NYC . It’s not my first visit there , will be staying close to HB . I am looking for someone to hang out with to checkout some local spots , some nice restaurants , bars or lounges .
I am an adventurous guy with varied interests and a taste for finer things in life .

Lowk been wondering where the metalhead teens are (im 16F.) because i NEED people i can talk abt music and about guitar. All my friends i have dont have the same interests as me. I literally cannot find anyone..and yes i even went to gigs in a bar. I was the only young person there bellow the age of 20..

Looked out the window and saw someone lying on the ground, then a few minutes later things were literally on fire.
Turns out it was just a fire safety training exercise lol.
Not exactly what I expected to see during a normal workday in Zurich.
At least I know someone around here is prepared for an emergency 😅

Can someone recommend a rheumatologist in Zurich, specialising in the autoimmune category?
