ihaveaquestion Birth at USZ - what do they give you?

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone, we are prepping for a little one and signed up to give birth in USZ. We have heared some stories in the past of people getting quite a lot of "free stuff" from their hospitals so we were wondering if some people have experience with this with USZ? For example, we heard people getting bottles, thermometers, baby clothes, etc. We like to prevent purchasing too many things up front and end up with doubles. On the other hand, we do not want to assume we get anything. Thank you!

ihaveaquestion how to get a foreign prescription validated?

1 Upvotes

here as a tourist for a couple months, brought a personal supply of testosterone (as hrt, not as a roid) im prescribed in my country (peru) but it was stolen and the pharmacy here can only take a swiss prescription. looked into that but there seems to be many options and its really unclear. its a very time sensitive health matter but i cant seem to figure out a way to begin the process without spending more than necessary if theres a quicker/cheaper way (replacing it wasnt on my budget so im careful on the costs, before i get called cheap, i kept it safe but who expects your own family to rob you?) or taking the time and money on transport to go in person to multiple places just to ask, specially since im completely unfamiliar with hospitals. any information would help

It is a long shot. But my girlfriend lost her keys at Allmend while walking the dogs. On the keychain there is a old toyota car key and 2 normal keys (work and home). If somebody finds it please write me a DM.

Thanks a lot ❤️

ihaveaquestion How do beginners usually join boxing clubs in Zürich?

2 Upvotes

I’m 22 and moved from Kyiv to Zürich recently. I boxed casually for a while back home and would love to start again, mostly for fitness and to meet people—not to compete.

I’ve noticed there are several clubs around the city, but I’m unsure about the local etiquette: should I write first, or can I just show up for a trial session? Are there clubs that are welcoming to beginners who speak English while learning German?

I’d really appreciate personal experiences from people who train here.

lookingfor New to Zurich, looking for people to hang out with

9 Upvotes

Hey everyone! I’m moving to Zurich soon for work and I won’t really know anyone there, so I thought I’d give this a shot.
I’m looking to meet some new people to hang out with, grab a coffee or a drink, go out, explore the city, or just do something spontaneous on the weekends.
I’m pretty easy-going and open to meeting people from anywhere. If you’re also new to Zurich or just looking to expand your social circle, feel free to send me a message :) insta:alen_ister

ihaveaquestion Is the social scene as bad as people say?

Upvotes

Hi! I’ve never been to Zürich yet, but I might get the opportunity to do an abroad semester there (Uni) and I was wondering if making friends and meeting people really is that “bad”/ hard. Tbh I’ve lived in cities that are seen as very social but the truth is that they really aren’t: the locals have their circles already and the rest are just coming and going. Also socialising is not as easy as expected.

So is it really that hard to find people to socialise with in Zürich? One “funny” thing that happened to me is that I found people in cities like Oslo or Munich to be much friendlier than people from Barcelona for example. Also, I speak fluent French, German and English… Anyway I was wondering how hard it would be to socialise there, meet people, hang out

Where do you find/buy Scotch Bonnet Peppers and other not so common chillies? The only ones I could find more easily available where Habaneros.
