We're looking at coming over end this year, early next. My wife has citizenship, but I'd be a newby.

So I'd love to hear from you with enthusiastic ideas, suggestions and just plain welcoming comments! :thumbsup:

I think though, that you would be much better off in Vancouver than in Switzerland if a big war broke out! We are right in the middle of the muddle here.

Yes, maybe. Although I had visited Switzerland many times before I lived here and my opinion of the place hasn't changed in years. I just don't think it suits me - but it may well suit you.

Also, my wife, who is in Vancouver at the moment, used to live there for a long time, so I have a bit of 'inside knowledge' about the place. And it felt really good being therre - if that means anything.

If you want to try Switzerland, pm me for details of how I could help you.... :)
