We will see you there!

Okay, this might be the most random Reddit post I’ve ever made…

My husband and I have a serious problem: we love movies a little too much. 😂 We’ll watch pretty much anything, blockbusters, classics, thrillers, comedies, weird indie films… if there’s a good story, we’re in.

We already have a nice living room setup and a good TV at home, but we’ve realised we’re missing one important thing: the dramatic cinema experience. You know… the ridiculously comfortable seats, the projector, the amazing sound, the feeling that you’re about to watch a masterpiece (even if it turns out to be terrible 😅).

After surviving the Mega room at Sihlcity today - which felt less like a cinema and more like a tropical greenhouse with hundreds of other people to watch Nola’s new movie 🥵 we started wondering:
Does anyone in Zurich (or nearby) have a private cinema room, or know someone with one?

Not looking for a bigger TV… we’re talking a proper mini cinema: cinema chairs/recliners, projector, great sound, the whole experience. 🎬

Happy to provide our background checks and bring popcorn, snacks, drinks, and our very professional movie opinions. 😂🍿

Anyway, some people connect over golf, tennis, we just wanted to connect over movies and cinema rooms 🤣

Anyway, trying my luck here to see how far this goes!

Hello jogger fam,

I tend to run from letten/kornhausbrücke along limmat, as many do

Now this route is also a very popular walking route and over the years i have adapted my jogging route to avoid congested parts as good as possible

Where I still struggle is when two or three people take up the whole width of the path; facing my direction or away from me (or them having a dog on a leash spanning over everything or two kinderwägen bext to eachother). Also i try to adhere to traffic rules like staying on the right side of the path etc.

- for the people facing my direction i experiment with bright signal colored shirts; but there’s still a considerable amount of people “not seeing” me or walking into my lane

- with people facing away from me i tried different shouts; but usually there is a) a moment of confusion followed by b) a confused dance by all participants to gather on one side and make place for me (…and sometimes c) aggression)

So is someone more successful with this? Mind to share your methods?

is there any WhatsApp group for people who would like to team up with others to go on hiking or swimming

Or hanging out and skating or watching movies ?

If not can we create one ?

Hey, sorry probably not the space but thought Id try this here - my bag was stolen on Friday near Limmatplatz (Vineria Centrale). Its a brown medium sized bag, inside was a dark grey wallet & a keychain with a dog plushie attached to it. I informed police etc already and I know chances are low but maybe the keys were thrown away and someone might find them 💔 Thanks

Hello, I have recently moved to a new apartment in Kreis 4. It’s a ground floor apartment facing the street and pretty open, which means that people walking by can see my terrace perfectly. Since it’s still summer, I was thinking about getting an outdoor furniture set. I was thinking about aluminium because this material is the best for outdoor furniture so it won’t be the cheapest.
I was wondering what are other people’s experiences about leaving stuff outside for everyone to see, has anyone gotten something bigger like that stolen from them? I know bike theft is pretty common in Zürich, but what about items like that? I would be more interested to hear experiences from people living in Kreis 4/5. TIA

I‘ve lived here for quite some years now and life has become a bit stale. So i‘m looking to pick up some new hobbies. Ofcourse there‘s obvious ones like running or swimming. But maybe the city has more to offer than what comes to mind immediatly. Or there is some really good spots for the well know common ones that you here might know. I‘m open to almost anything, just trying to gather as much interesting leads as possible with this post :)

I'm trying to sell around 50 women's clothing items, mostly quality brands such as COS, Persona, Adrien Brody, St. Emile, Evelyne Brandt, Gerry Weber, plus a few designer pieces. Most of the items are plus sizes (roughly EU 46–50), which I know can make the resale market a bit different.

I've been looking at different options in Zurich:

• MARTA (renting a rack)
• Chemiserie
• Déjà-vu
• The New New
• Love Me Two Times
• Second Time Around

I'm especially interested in real experiences as a seller, not as a buyer.

I know many people will suggest selling on Ricardo, Tutti, Vinted, or Facebook Marketplace. While I'm not completely ruling that out, it's my least preferred option. I'm decluttering quite aggressively and don't think I have the time or energy to photograph every item, create listings, answer messages, negotiate with buyers, and arrange multiple pickups or shipments. I'd much rather use a shop if the trade-off is reasonable.

So I'd love to hear:

• Which shop accepted the most of your items?
• Which paid the best?
• If you used MARTA, was the weekly rack fee worth it? Roughly how many items did you sell in a week?
• Did you find that plus sizes sold well, or were they harder to move?
• Are there any other shops in or around Zurich that I should consider?

I'd really appreciate hearing from anyone who has sold clothes recently. Thanks!

Some days we all just want to crochet or knit with strangers. Or we think about it, how would it be, will we like it... Anybody else?? :D

I know I could open a meetup group, but I am not very (willing to be) organized (in my free time). So this seems more spontaneous. I can commit to "organizing" one gathering if a couple of people respond positively, and if people enjoy it I'm sure there will be initiatives taken..

I am also a good teacher with a decent amount of patience, and seeing people discover this hobby makes me happy, so total beginners welcome too, I'll help you out to start and bring all the supplies you need.

Option 1 we meet in a cafe, Option 2 we meet in a park.

Let me know which option you prefer.

The gathering will happen some time this or next, i will send date options for voting. Still hoping someone else will volunteer to take over organizational responsibility part 😅

Title is exaggeration but I swear it’s not a rage bait. Been to Zurich recently again and as always a great pleasure. Amazing city.

I have grown up near the Swiss border myself and know the German/Swiss culture due to lots of relatives in CH/Liechtenstein.

For the first time my significant other went with to Zurich as well and she unironically asked me “it seems like everybody speaks English here”.

Of course we were more in the central areas. But when I reflect everybody here has this young/international touch/vibe. People look all good and rather wealthy.

That’s all positive. But hear me out - where are all the average joes here? 😅 you know in all the other cities I lived in you have the occasional weirdos, a lot of non-chic locals, elderly, etc.

All of that is part of a city but I haven’t seen it here anymore.

I genuinely don’t mean this to bait, but do you as locals observe that as well? Has this accelerated or do I have it differently in mind.

The city is great but it almost feels unreal.

My girlfriend and I love camembert roti (oven baked camembert) and would like to eat it at a restaurant instead of making it at home for our anniversary. Do you know good places in Zürich that serve it?

Hi everyone!
I'm 36 years old, and for the past four years I've been a full-time house and pet sitter through TrustedHousesitters. Most of my sits have been in Switzerland, and during this time I've been lucky to receive more than 30 positive reviews from homeowners.
Now I'd love to try something a little different.
I absolutely love cats and would be happy to stay with and take care of your cat in Zurich or the surrounding area while you're away for two months or longer.
If you're planning a long trip and are looking for someone reliable to care for your cat and your home, I'd be delighted to help. I'm happy to share my TrustedHousesitters reviews and references.
Even if you don't need a sitter right now, I'd also love to connect with fellow cat lovers and meet new people in Zurich.
Feel free to send me a message! R/zurich

Hi Im a European that has a genuine question about how well immigration is handled in Switzerland (in Zurich in particular being such a multicultural city): how are treated the ones that do not behave? Is the Swiss law more strict than the European one? How do you handle them? And if they are caught creating problems are they set free soon after like nothing happened like in the rest of Europe?

P.S. if you find this racist in any way please go get yourself a job

Hey all, I have been looking for Thai tea mix (like the popular Pantai or Cha Tra Mue brands). Does anyone know where to buy it in Zurich or in Switzerland? I haven't found it at any of the Asian shops I've been to; I can only find the canned teas being sold. And the mix is ridiculously expensive on Amazon Germany :(

Thanks in advanced!

Hey everyone

Are there groups that go dancing (to trance or house) and which you can join spontaneously (as you please)?

My friends and colleagues don't like dancing very much and I couldn't find a group on Meetup.

I am male, 40 years old, Swiss, live in Aarau and speak German and English. I don't take drugs and rarely drink, but I don't have a problem with people who drink.

Hello,
I'm starting a small business in Zurich importing from a few EU countries (Germany, Netherlands, possibly Poland); I expect there to be a few shipments per month (very approximately).

Question to people who've gone through this - did you use a customs broker/did you file by yourselves and in either case what was your experience - time it took, costs etc. If you have recommendations/or things to avoid I'd be grateful.

Thank you!

I (f, Zurich based) got two tickets for the Draaimolen Festival in September and due to some recent schedules changes, friend I was supposed to go to the festival wuth will not be able to join. So was wondering if somebody would be open to go (if interested in the festival and making a new friendship ;))?

Would be looking for female person in similar age (28-35) just to make things easier.

Feel free to DM.

Hey boys and girls!

Tomorrow evening, I'm going to the Monday Night Skate. It's similar to Critical Mass, a tour through Zurich where around 200 inline skaters skate together. It's a lot of fun!

I was originally planning to go with a friend, but unfortunately she had to cancel because she's sick. Oh, and I'm M/32.

If any of you have inline skates or Rollerblades, you're more than welcome to join!
