Canadians in Geneva

Hi There,

My husband and I just moved to Geneva from Toronto. Any Canadians around?

hi, i'm not in switzerland, but i'm swiss who's lived in canada for all his life. now my wife and are looking to move to geneva soon. how do you like it ?

So we moved to geneva last friday and so far everyone has been very kind. I thought more people would speak english but I can't complain as it is not an official language and I really should be practicing my french. A little surprised by all the graffiti and at first was concerned that we were staying in a "bad" part of town but it turns out to be universal. Prices are high, especially for dining out, but we can get around that. We compensate by eating lots of chocolate.

I am canadian, and has been in the region for the last two years. Let me know if you would like to swap e-mails and chat more.

Hey, welcome.

I am in Basel working, so drop me a line if you need some Moosehead as they sell it at Basel SBB.

Wow - been here 3 weeks ! Kids are in school and enjoying things here. Such a nice easy to get around city. Now to find somewhere to live permanently.

Moved to this area about a year ago. We (husband and myself) absolutely love it. Are there any other Canadians around? Would love to find a fellow Canadian hiking buddy to further explore the Oberland region - preferrably retired (like myself). Any takers?
PS - Tim Horten's coffee sucks.

There's some sort of Canadian business in Thun on the traffic island on the road just west of the casino, I got the impression it was a restaurant or something when I drove past, I always notice the Canadian flag when I drive past.

There's a Canadian pub/burger joint on the corner just before your go on the bridge onto the traffic island in Thun. The only good thing about the place is the Canadian beer.

I am just back in Canada after spending a month in France/Switzerland...stayed with my boyfriend who lives on the FR/SW border in the little village of Allinges, FR near Evian, FR...am in the process of applying for my UK Citizenship (both my deceased parents were born in UK) and that should open up my employment opportunties to work if I relocate...any tips on employment in Geneve...would love to connect with you and your husband for tips...anyone else in Geneve or close that are Canadian?
Cheers,
Patience
