We finally bit the bullet, and moved to Zurich in January, 2008. Gave up a great job in San Francisco to roll the dice there, and hope I can find work to support us (wife and 13 month old daughter). My Swiss wife accepted a job offer that pays about half what I am making here, but that combined with our savings should keep us going for about a year, so we can a least give it a shot. Big step, but we are exhilarated by the potential.

for some reason I forgot about using the library. Got a new card when I moved back to San Francisco, and there is a branch right on my way to work.I use the online reserve system, and just have books waiting for me every couple weeks. I’ve read more books in the last 6 months than I have for the last couple years. Love it!
