      Got one when I crossed the border. Only €40 for 6 months.

      Rather weird actually, crossed the border into Switzerland and in as many km I was back in Germany before crossing the border again back into Switzerland. Near fried my noodle with that one.

          Why'd do you think I went alone?

              On a more important note. Now that's I've reeled in my first Swiss client, how much should I be charging them? Please don't make me use the search bar, I can't be bothered.

              So if I charge €100 in Germany it would be in what in Zurich?

              Oh and Swiss Deutsch, why does it sound like Italian? Brain fried... They understood me. But me them...

                  Like my fluent-german speaking mrs says, the Swiss speak like they're attempting to eradicate all vowel sounds. She said something to about Austrians, can't quite remember what she said but I'm sure it was they sound like morons...

                      I had fish and chips in Zurich Altstadt, admittedly touristy and dearer, guy warned me it wasn't like uk fish and chips, some weird fish from Lake Constance.

                      However I went for it, and it was fukn awful.
