It looks likely that I will be moving to Basel so I am more than happy to have found this forum.
Still not made my decision, but I guess I won't be able to say no to this offer.
Worried a bit also because people say the swiss are notoriously reserved... Don't know what to say about that, visited Switzerland a few times, found them somehow more open than Germans in Bavaria, but maybe it's just a wrong impression I got. I'll look also on the forum for:
-some who I can drink a Guiness with and watch the PL
-some to grab a coffee with and talk about what not
If you get into underwater hockey that will cover all of your desires. They train in a pool just across the border in France, as they can get pool space there …
I haven’t spoken to them for a while, but they should still be playing regularly!
Check out the Swiss Underwater Hockey page and scroll down for the Basel link.
It’s a lovely town, I’ve lived here 10 years, and people on the whole are generally pretty friendly - obviously with exceptions that you’d get in any town.
There’s quite an active cycle group - Basel Expats Cycling:
Definitely in for cycling off the road, but I would have to get in a bit of shape. I hope the surroundings of Basel aren't very hilly... they didn't look that way anyway.
Nice to hear this. I'll come on, but let me overthink my decision for a bit.
Speaking of which, is there anyone available to answer some questions in private? Regarding ... finances ofc.
I am in the same position as you - but I just decided I am coming!
I assume PL is Premier League, no? If so Absolutely. Guinness too. I am more of a soccer man but I do cycle a bit and maybe Switzerland by bike would be interesting (well maybe not the way you people are doing it - like twice a week and 50-mile long ride). I will post my introduction in a separate post.
