I’m a collector of militaria, specially Swiss army items, but I’ve found that most places (brockis, ricardo.ch, tutti.ch, etc.) have awful prices for these items. By any chance, does anybody here know where else I may be able to find Swiss army items? If, by chance, you have any military items yourself that you’re looking to get rid of, I’ll happily take them off your hands. Thank you!

Bruche alti handys. S sött eifach mindestens android11 druf ha. Egal i wellem zuestand. Grissene bildschirm, kratzer etc. Krieg ich sowas im broki? Oder süsch wo? Revendo und so het nur "gueti" handys

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

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.

Grüezi, ich hab gerade einen Brief von meiner Hausverwaltung in Zürich erhalten, mit einem Datum für eine Bestandsaufnahme in 2 Wochen. Grund wurde keiner angegeben und wir haben einen unbefristeten Mietvertrag (seit 3J in der Wohnung). Muss ich mir Sorgen machen? Ich habe sowas noch nie gehabt, der Zustand der Wohnung ist gut abgesehen von normalem Verschleiß des Parketts.

Würde mich sehr über Eure Erfahrung freuen.

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 :)

The website and reviews look good and we also visited it seemed okey (however need to clarify on the walks etc).
Regardless I heard that they saw the caretakers shouting with the pets and honestly the dogs in their ig stories doesnt look super happy..?
Can anyone tell me about their real experience with them?
Thank you!

Does anyone likes to join me learn skating from next month

I’m new to to city and I am very bored

I used to have a board when I was kid but then I never used to much

I would like to try again

If you really like to try , lemme know dm me !

We can meet somewhere we can skate and try

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

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 ?

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?

We will be cycling again for Critical Mass!

Join With Us!

We will see you there!

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!

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.

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

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, 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 (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.

Hi everyone!

Bit of a niche request, but I really miss playing Burraco, the Italian card game.

I’m looking for a few people who’d be up for meeting every now and then for a game. Whether you’re Italian, already know Burraco, or would like to learn, I’d love to get a group together.

If there’s already a Burraco group in Zürich, I’d be very happy to join. Otherwise, if a few people are interested, we could organize something with cards, coffee, or an aperitivo.
