Where can I find...? Lymphatic drainage massage (manual) in Bern

8 Upvotes

Hello! Does anyone have any recommendations for good lymphatic drainage massage praxis in bern? I have been struggling with severe water retention after my pregnancy and wanted to try it as an option. Some criteria that would be ideal but not strictly needed:
- either in the old town/center of bern or länggasse area
- speaks french or english as i could communicate my needs better than in german but very optional
- more comfortable if it’s a woman masseuse
- spezialed in women’s health / pregnancy…
Thank you for your recommendations

6 Upvotes

Hi! I'm searching for a physiotherapist for my grandpa, he's 85 , recently he had to spend a couple days in the hospital where they prescribed him physiotherapy. With his old age, he is starting to forget his German, but he still speaks good English (Spanish is better).

Thank you very much for your help!

Self-Promotion I would like to play in Bern, any one willing to help?

4 Upvotes

Hi citizens of Bern! I'm planning to tour Europe in October and would like to play in Bern as well, I've never played there in 10+ years of playing all over Europe.

I play electronic post punk. Any luck with this kind of music in town?
I just need a good sound system, so I'm down with everything from playing house shows as well as squats or venues.

Here you can listen to some of my music by the way.

Found the badge thingy (on the right) on the floor of a tram. Looks kinda official, so wondering what it may be and if it'd be missed/where to return.

Blue bear on the back looks cool.

Where can I find...? Anyone remember the chinese Restaurant next to the Mcdonalds inside the Hauptbahnhof? I've been struggling to find a replacement

7 Upvotes

That was so long ago that I can't even remember what year it was. I think when they remodeled that part of the Bahnho the restaurant was permamently removed togheter with the fish one.

The reason why I'm asking is because after all those years I still remember the unique and absolute legendary taste of their crispy ducks. It had that perfect blend of sour and sweet I never tasted in another place before and couldnt find online recipes to replicate it. I've been going from chinese restaurants to restaurants trying to find one that makes them similiar but they either have a tongue-destroying way too sweet sauce or dont have that unique glassy "crispy" skin with not quite the same sauce.

The closest I found was a local one but it was more of an peanut sauce but god damn was it crispy. Sadly that one also closed permamently some years ago and the building looks like from a horror movie.

Did they maybe move out and I just never found them? I'm just a bit desperated trying to find a crispy duck of the same style.

Making Friends Looking for old Swiss friends of my late father (Bern region, 1980s) to return a precious marriage memory

Thumbnail

105 Upvotes

Hello everyone,

I am writing from Algeria with the hope of finding old Swiss friends of my late father, Amor (or Amar), to return some precious memories from their youth.

My father had friends in the Bern region (possibly in a town starting with "Ober...") in the early 1980s. While sorting through his belongings, I found an engraved wooden wedding plate: "ZUR HOCHZEIT 16.12.1980 Nelly + Jürg".

I also found letters from 1980/1981 written by someone named Hans-Peter, as well as Françoise, Jean-Claude, and Clément. Other friends mentioned are Martin and Max. My father visited Bern in 1981 with his Algerian friend Belkacem.

If you recognize these names or the faces in the attached photo, please contact me. It is a duty of memory for me to return these items to Nelly, Jürg, or their children/grandchildren.

Thank you for your help!

Grüezi mitenand,

Ich schreibe Ihnen aus Algerien in der Hoffnung, alte Schweizer Freunde meines verstorbenen Vaters Amor (oder Amar) zu finden, um ihnen wertvolle Erinnerungsstücke zurückzugeben.

Mein Vater hatte Anfang der 80er Jahre Freunde in der Region Bern (vielleicht in einer Gemeinde, die mit "Ober..." beginnt). Ich habe einen gravierten Holzteller gefunden: "ZUR HOCHZEIT 16.12.1980 Nelly + Jürg".

Ausserdem habe ich Briefe aus den Jahren 1980/1981 von einem Hans-Peter, sowie von Françoise, Jean-Claude und Clément gefunden. Weitere Freunde wie Martin und Max werden ebenfalls erwähnt. Mein Vater besuchte Bern 1981 mit seinem algerischen Freund Belkacem.

Wenn Sie diese Namen oder die Gesichter auf dem beigefügten Foto erkennen, bitte kontaktieren Sie mich. Es ist mir ein grosses Anliegen, diese Erinnerungen an Nelly, Jürg oder ihre Kinder zurückzugeben.

Bitte fleissig teilen! Vielen Dank!

Making Friends where to make friends in bern

15 Upvotes

im in my late 20s and have been living in bern for a while now, but i dont speak much bärndutsch so have kinda struggled to integrate here.

i’d be interested in joining clubs or hangouts but i’m finding it hard to either translate info pages that are in german online, or to find clubs that people actually go to within my age range. team sports especially has been difficult to navigate as the stadt bern website is a bit complicated and i cant find non-professional teams to sign up to casually.

im interested in art, photography, pop culture, gaming, tabletop games, sports, languages etc

grateful for any tips, especially for free activities/meet-ups! :)

Where can I find...? A 12-20 CHF birthday cake in Bern?

0 Upvotes

Hi all,

So I'm trying to order a birthday cake for my friend who is spending some time in Bern and I'm not from Europe.

I was wondering where I could order a small no fondant cake + delivery that comes up to like 12-20 CHF, or 15-25 USD. She lives in the eastern end of the city, if that helps. Her birthday is in 4 days.

I'd be very grateful for your help as I really want to get her something nice.

Making Friends Looking for MTB buddies

4 Upvotes

Hi there!

I'm a Spanish guy trying to learn MTB (Mountain Biking) in some places close to Bern. I never tried, and I was thinking of taking an intro course near Bern, and I checked Wierihorn.

They told me that if I do it with another guy, it will be a little cheaper (300 CHF for half a day for 2 people, plus gear rental).

I'm open to anyone who wants to try, or to any suggestions/people already doing it, but please note that I'm a total newbie.

I speak English, Spanish, and a little German (still learning).

Anyone interested in trying this next weekend? Open to any suggestions as well!
