Bonjour

That's probably the only word I can say in French. Just arrived a week ago for work from the States and the only people I know are from work!


Must say, pretty neat site and lots of good information. Looking forward to attending activities and using all the great information to make this move as easy as possible...


Learning a lot of new facts about how different life is here - for ex, first day, had to carry all groceries in my purse since i had no idea they don't give grocery bags here unless you buy them..


However, loving the beautiful weather.

Hi Naurin,


 


Welcome to the forum!!! there will be many things similar to the shopping incident im sure! I have been here now since january now and things still catch me out occasionally, thankfully less frequent now.


What brings you to Geneva? The usual places are UN, CERN etc. etc.


This is a great forum for aasking questions and there's quite a community of people to help you get settled. Lots of people to meet and events/activities. It's important to get a network of friends established as life becomes a lot easier here!


Have fun!
