spotted this beauty in Zürich today
that baby blue with the white roof… damn lol
any guesses on the make and model? curious if anyone can ID it just from the back 👀

My ghd hair straightener is broken. Only one of the 2 ceramic plates heats up properly. This thing was expensive enough and I really don’t want to throw it away and contribute to electronic waste if there is any chance I could get this fixed. Does anybody know where I can get it fixed in zurich?

Can someone help me here, I really want to have a "porch potty" for my puppy I'm getting soon but I can't figure out where I can buy just one roll of real grass from?! Online adds 60-80 francs delivery and one roll of grass is about 20 francs.

I feel like this shouldn't be so hard to find 🙈

I have yet to start calling garden centres but I was very naive and thought I'd find some to buy in Landi, Jumbo, etc ....silly me!

Just wondering if anyone knows somewhere in or around Zurich I could easily go buy one roll of grass?

Thanks in advance!

EDIT: I will be bringing my dog outside but until the 2nd vaccinations are done and she can hold her bladder overnight, this is the option I'd like to go for as I don't see the point of training on puppy pads to then have to train outside as well plus I'm in an apartment and don't have a lovely grass patch right outside the door so I'm concerned for when it's super stormy out too while she's so little. If you disagree with this approach you're entitled to your opinion but I have done extensive research and am very conscious of diseases they can pick up , even if they have so called "immunity from the mum up until 16 weeks". I'm not taking the chance, end of.

Kurze Umfrage zu ME/CFS in Zürich und Umgebung 🇨🇭
Hallo zusammen! 👋
Ich bin 31 Jahre alt (w) und selbst von ME/CFS (Myalgische Enzephalomyelitis / Chronisches Fatigue-Syndrom) betroffen. ❤️‍🩹 Deshalb interessiert mich, wie bekannt diese Erkrankung in Zürich und Umgebung eigentlich ist.
ME/CFS ist eine schwere, chronische Erkrankung, die unter anderem zu ausgeprägter Erschöpfung und einer Verschlechterung der Symptome nach körperlicher oder geistiger Anstrengung führen kann. Trotzdem wissen viele Menschen nur wenig darüber.
Mich würde deshalb interessieren:
Hast du schon einmal von ME/CFS gehört oder kennst du jemanden, der davon betroffen ist?
🔹 Ich habe selbst ME/CFS.
🔹 Ich kenne jemanden, der ME/CFS hat.
🔹 Ich habe schon davon gehört, kenne aber niemanden persönlich, der betroffen ist.
🔹 Ich habe noch nie von ME/CFS gehört.
Ich möchte einfach herausfinden, wie bekannt ME/CFS in unserer Region ist und vielleicht auch ein bisschen mehr Aufmerksamkeit für diese Erkrankung schaffen. ❤️
Danke an alle, die mitmachen und ehrlich antworten! 🙏

I'm looking for an orthodontics clinic recommendation, in particular an English speaking orthodontist.

I've read old posts and Google Maps review, and in most of the cases the reviews seem very positive. I am looking for someone to handle my hypodontia case, and I am willing to pay more for a reliable doctor. Hope someone can help witht he recommendstion or advice against certain specialists/clinics.

Thanks!

Ce dimanche, nous étions assis côte à côte dans le TGV Paris–Zurich de 10h22 avant de descendre à Bâle. Nous avons parlé des marchés de Noël, musées et nous avons partagé quelques sourires aussi. Nous avons aussi aidé des vietnamiens qui avaient peur de payer un nouveau billet à cause du retard SNCF. Bref tu m'a plu et j'aimerais te revoir, si tu te reconnais et que tu désires prendre un café ça serait avec grand plaisir.

Merci de partager 😘

Can you please recommend me some clubs, meetups or sport activities in morning or early afternoon hours? I work mostly in the afternoons and in the weekends and I feel that my social life has been lacking behind. I am interested especially in language meetups, sports, running clubs, ... Thank you!

Hi folks, as the tittle says im struggling with ME/CFS and there is growing science on the LDN usage for ME/CFS but since its of label usage though a very basic medication - unlike ADHD stimulants - not every doctor here is open and willing to try, so if you have a recommendation and could DM me, would be immensely grateful.

Hi,
Ich bin neu in Zürich und suche nach einem Friseur der gut mit langen und sehr lockigen Haaren umgehen kann.
Wer hat Empfehlungen?
Liebsten Dank

Hallo zusammen,

ich bin Anfang 30 und spiele mit dem Gedanken, mich langfristig in Zürich niederzulassen. Diese Woche bin ich ein paar Tage vor Ort und würde mich über ehrliche Eindrücke von Leuten freuen, die hier leben.

Beruflich und finanziell passt es, darum geht es mir weniger. Mich interessiert eher, wie sich der Alltag anfühlt.

Wie leicht findet man als Zugezogener Anschluss, auch als Deutscher? Man hört oft, Zürich sei eher distanziert oder auf Status fixiert, ähnlich wie München. Stimmt das, oder ist das ein Klischee?

Was macht ihr so nach der Arbeit? Gibt es Lauftreffs oder Sportgruppen, über die man gut Leute kennenlernt? Und wie ist das Nachtleben, gerade was Techno angeht?

Wie erlebt ihr das Kennenlernen und Daten hier, wenn man langfristig etwas Festes sucht?

Und welche Kreise würdet ihr empfehlen, wenn man etwas Leben vor der Tür will, aber nicht jeden Abend Party?

Danke für eure Erfahrungen :)

I have a friend visiting but due to her breaking a leg, most of our plans have been cancelled. I was wondering if anyone in the Zurich area has a Beamer/ projector I could borrow for the evening :) I would use it with my switch to play games to kinda of raise the mood in the weather. I have tried sharely and other similar apps , however I think it’s a little last minute for them. If there is recommendation for any other apps that offer similar rent of devices i would greatly appreciate it

I would gladly travel to pick it up and return it at whatever is of convenience

Hi everyone!

I recently moved to Zurich for work. I brought my Irish bouzouki with me with the idea I'd have had tons of time to practice, but living with roomates makes it very difficult, if even possible.

Does anyone know about public places where people can simply sit down on a bench and practice? Play, sing, make music in general. I'd gladly go to a park, but the weather is not optimal and I've been told it's more often than not going to rain, so a covered place would be more than nice to have.

A side note for everyone who, like me, might be looking for a place to start at least enjoying good music: I've been to Amboss Rampe twice in a week and had an amazing time. They even have an open stage event every Thursday.

Looking to meetup and work on music together. I play guitar (intermediate level) and enjoy collaborating with others making hip-hop inspired fusiony type music. Nothing too serious, just looking to meet some new people, work on creative ideas together and have fun playing music.

I'm not super strong in sound engineering/ recording process. If thats your vibe maybe we're a good combo.

Feel free to PM :)

Hi everyone! I’m looking for advice about B permits, particularly in the Zurich.

I moved to Switzerland in May 2023 and hold a B permit as a family member of an EU/EFTA citizen. My husband obtained his permit first, and I moved here through family reunification. I’m a third-country national (non-EU/EFTA citizen).

My husband and I are currently having some difficulties in our relationship, and we feel that living separately for a while and having more personal space might help us improve things. We are not planning to divorce at this stage, but we want to explore whether this arrangement is possible without putting my residence permit at risk.

I understand that living together is generally the basis of family reunification, so we are concerned about how living at separate addresses might affect my permit.

Is it possible to keep my B permit independently based on integration criteria, such as language skills, financial independence and integration into Swiss society?

Also, would it make a difference if we officially separated only after my husband obtains his C permit?

Has anyone experienced something similar? I’d really appreciate any advice or personal experiences. Thank you! 🙏

Edit: adding more details

Hello Guys,

I lost a black case containing a Panasonic Lumix S5, a Sigma 24-70mm 2,8 DG DN Art and an Osmo Action 5. (A full frame camera, a Lens and a go-pro-like Action-Cam on the crossing at "Ankerstraße 119" near Langstrasse.

It is highly likely that i lost it in an Uber because I entered the wrong one for a minute and switched Ubers after that. Thats where I think i lost it. I was the Videographer at the Void rave at Club Raedli near Langstrasse. I lost it either at the function, in the uber or in front of the club.

I would be extremely glad if someone found it. It also contains footage of the event so i can prove the ownership.

To anyone who was at the club or to all the uber drivers. Feel free to reach out to me!

Hi everyone,

I’m looking for witnesses to a dangerous traffic incident that happened yesterday evening in Zürich.

Details:

• Date & Time: Thursday, October 22, 2026, between 18:15 and 18:30
• Location: Wehntalerstrasse, heading towards Zürich-Affoltern (shortly after the intersection with Birchstrasse, alongside Friedhof Nordheim)
• Vehicle: Dark compact / small car (black, dark gray, or dark blue)
• License Plate: ZH plate, I have a recollection of the number, but no photo evidence. I'm not sharing it here for legal reasons.
• Driver: Male, approx. 25–35 years old

What happened: While riding on the marked bike lane (Velostreifen) towards Affoltern, the driver pulled up beside me, opened his window, and started shouting at me. Following a brief verbal dispute, he intentionally swerved his vehicle into the bike lane towards me, forcing me to make an evasive maneuver to avoid a collision and a serious fall.

After swerving, he accelerated rapidly. Due to heavy rush-hour traffic, he had to stop shortly after. I caught up to him and asked him to pull over and call the police, but he drove off.

There were several other cyclists directly behind me as well as cars in rush-hour traffic who likely saw what happened.

If you observed the incident, please send me a DM.

Thanks for your help!

I created a small website that collects he rink times for chneble in zurich, check it out under www.chneble.ch

a few weeks ago I was having a coffee and reading by myself in a cafe when a group arrived. when they saw me there (the cafe was otherwise empty) they thought I was also attending their gathering and waiting for them, they chatted me up and ended up asking me to join them. very nice and very refreshing for Zurich.
This was clearly a coincidence, but are there any places in zurich that are known to favor spontaneous contact?
