good 1st impression...I spelled "Bonjour" wrong

Well hey there! Welcome to Switzerland life! Don't worry, my french sucks too. I'm from Canada, been in Swiss almost 4 months now and love it! I could always use a trainer...or hang out buddy.

Cheers!

Lauren

oh my dear Lauren...sounds like a plan. You bring the alcohol and Ill bring well...more alcohol  Yea, Im definetly looking to cut loose...things have been pretty boring for me as I been trying to adjust these past couple of weeks. As for a work out partner...prepare to get your butt kicked ( in a good way LOL)  Let me know when you are free for some festivities!

PBJ ( peanut butter and jelly sandwich) is a constant mainstay of "haute cuisine" americaine!

the sweet and savory go hand in hand, just like reeses peanut butter cups.

you ain't the first new yorker to set foot in these here parts. watsamaddawidyouz!!

There are also many Texans...

Hello! Nice to meet you and welcome to Switzerland!

This is an amazing country with fantastic views and lots of activities to do. I actullly moved here just recently and also up for exploring it.

It would be defiinitely great to get together!  

By the way, do you speak any other languages?

Ciao,

Nataliia

yoooo fogetabout it LOL the closest thing your getting to a reeses is PB and Nutella my man! The city that never sleeps...Now im living in the city that only sleeps??? Haha! 

I didnt know Yall came to switzerland?? haha... Lonestar whats up? you fixin to have some fun around here?  Ok, thats enough of my southern dialect...Let me know what goes on around here!

 did you also know that they roll up the sidewalks every night at 10pm.

i used to live in wash. hgts, up by inwood park. know it?

you watch your mouth young lady...jelly and butter together is a sin! Ill let my father know you approve

In the U.S. we most certaintly put butter and jelly on toast! .. thats not a Swiss thing to do it, it just must be a NY thing to NOT do it. I'd be appalled to not be given my welches grape jelly AND butter with my toast in the midwest ;).  But is our staple!

butter =)

YAY!  More New Yorkers in Switzerland.  I moved to Zurich 9 months ago from NYC and LOVE it here.  There is always something to do - I'm never bored!  We should all get together and watch the Giants this weekend :)

howdy, drew. Ok, man, you have a posse here. Now, organize something and meet everyone.

Do you care about the Giants? Being from New England, I'm hoping Eli and Co. get washed out in SF or that the Pats get their revenge on 'em. We could watch the games at my place on Sunday night or we could go to Mr. Pickwicks.

Other than that, it's up to YOU to organize something and have all these people join.

Welcome to Geneva and glocals. It ain't NYC, but that's not a bad thing.

oh, and butter and jelly - it's the american way, man. nothing strange about that. 

Well well well you guys haven't seen my mom digging "camembert on toast" into her coffee... grossest thing ever!  The fact that she is French doesn't excuse such a thing :)

Anyway, welcome to Switzerland.. weird people (even tho there in no real Swiss in Geneva), nice landscapes, great chocolate and expensive watches (and food, and clothes, and pretty much everything...)!

For the jelly and butter on toast (really nice), I think you just need to build a bridge and get over it mannnnn :)

hahaha.. ohhh neuchatel. good times. get used to café du cerf.... I love the live old rock music.. and the irish music on sundays..

Just want to agree with the rest of them. Butter and jelly on toast is definitely american. My mom puts cheddar and jelly on toast though... (which btw is strangely both weird and kinda delicious at the same time) wonder where she gets that from...

Ive seen Dutich put chees and jelly on toast before

omg...I dont even know what to say to this? What is the midwest? is that in the US? hahahah!!!! Welches??? LMAO... I think they have support groups for you butter N Jelly addicts :P Wierddddd!

you bite your toung...that is discusting

she probably gets it from the Devil because that aint kosher! 

I will cry me a river... and not build a bridge over it so HA! If i knew this jelly and butter shit would be such a contraversy I would have pointed out other wierd attributes of my father and his swiss ways LOL  Thanks for the warm welcome :)

yea...washington hights AKA Dominican republic... LOL  your alrighhht man!

@drew I'm from East Coast (Nashville (yeah, ok), Concord and Wash, DC.). You are definitely in the minority here. Just give in and buy us all a beer while you try to convince us of our wayward ways. 

Oh, and Welch's Concord Grape Jelly - ambrosia to the Gods! And I grew up there!

It's not a mid-west thing, man!

dude...remind me of what happend in 2008??? becuase i keep forgetting??? 16-1 LMAO!!! Brady and the boys are washed up...  Eli and the gang are bringing it back to NY baby!!!! Let me know if you wanna watch the Pats lose to the Ravens BTW???  American football??? I think not... Real Football!!!! 

YESSSS WE SHOULD! G-Men all day! Let these people know!  BTW Payton to the jets soon wooot woot

Dude, I'm surprised the Giants won, because clearly New Yorker's have problems with numbers. It was 18-1! I know, I know. You had our number. But, not this year. Brady is on fire. We have two Tight Ends who can't be stopped - not like 2008.

The Giants winning in 2008 was a fluke. They won, fair and square. But, they won't get past SF. If they do, they won't be able to beat Brady twice in one season. Or in two SuperBowls. Brady's on top of his game.

15 mins late is like 4 hours swiss time....learn to be more punctual princess! Pfffff...

you forgot to mention cool pocket knives!?!?

i just saw a Peyton rumor....going to the 'Skins? Woah.

first of all were going to have to beat the ravens which wont be a problem...Gronkowski or however you spell it is the man though I will give you that! Dude is a machine!!!! Whats up with Ochocinco I havent heard nothing from him? Real talk though....only problem with the pats is theirD...It aint up to par with Pierre Paul and the crew thats for sure.

hope not because Mark sanchez should be stoned to death!

well, i agree that their D was awful during the year, *but* that's because the stats are just that....stats. numbers. remember, the Saints, Packers, Pats and Giants all had the four worst D's in the league by Passing Yards allowed. So, clearly that doesn't matter. What matters is that the Pats put up more points than the opposing teams 13 games out of 16. Giants were what? 9-7? And their D wasn't all that great, either.

However, last week, the Pats D was AWESOME. Granted, it was against a mediocre offense, but still, 5 sacks! 15 plays for negative yards. Few passes over 10 yards. That's pretty damn good.

It'll be a battle. Lewis, Rice and Reed are good (old) solid players for the Ravens, but Flacco is no match against Brady.

yes, sanchez...... well, personally it's Ryan I can't stand. Both of them. I'm so glad they *both* didn't make the playoffs. Bunch of fat arrogant pricks.

agreed.. Flacco and his creeper mustach has to go LOL.Rice is the mannnnnn from New Rochelle NY!!! Kid is amazing...hes like 5ft 8 and just running it on everyone!

there are quite a lot of us... i started the Republic of Texas Club in Lugano back in 2004. We planned a big event event once a year and served Texan beer, wine, chili, cornbread, well all the fixin's. btw, we don't all have texan or southern accents..it just comes out when we have enough beer in us. 

Since I left Ticino, i've been more germanified and swissified i guess. 

Benoit, I only replied because they were talking about Jelly. Obviously. 

Haha! Im living in Neuchatel actually... Thanks for the warm welcome brother!

you replied cause you liked me pic so stoppp... HAHA The funny thing is Im actually from Albania..I made all that shit up about being from NY and America/Swiss blahhh blahh blahhh... LOL JKKKKKK    Im from Long Island LOL  (Long Island Ice Tea for those of you that need a reference point) aka drink that erases your night)  Nothing like making a couple bad decisions on a few of those!

My Pic*** damn this German configured keyboard!

This thread is Banned in 23 Cantons LOL!

Fitness instructor:) no more alcohol.:)

Proper exercise, Proper breathing, Proper relaxation, Proper diet and Positive thinking:) to keep and achieve good health I think those are very important. Otherwise money lose health lose... need money for alcohol and need money for doctor so money lose in two way with lose of beauty and health:)

Am I right Drew?:)

dude, you lost me at no more alcohol? wtf are you getting at LOL? work hard, play harder!

omg... from NYC to Neuchatel... You've not chosen the most exciting city in Switzerland dude... Lausanne, Zürich or Geneva would have been more appropriate for somebody who enjoys having a lot of fun. But everything is possible, even in Neuchatel, who knows... I agree with Zonker, take the lead and start organizing events... if nothing works then change city! Take care and good luck!

lol

Being healthy also good enjoyment:) anyway have fun Dude:)

Just for the record, I asked a swiss man today about the butter and jelly situation, and the verdict is both!

lol okay lets put this one to bed
