Lake Como
We are lucky enough as a British Family to be living in Switzerland. This opened up options of travel for us when the Lockdown was lifted in various countries. We've always wanted to visit Lake Como and we decided to get away for 2 nights. The drive was around 4 hours and well worth it. The only problem was that we weren't there for long enough. The place was quaint, beautiful, friendly, classy and intriguing. All of the Italians wore masks and were very careful, as were the tourists. I was told that this was the quietest that we will ever see Como because the regular tourists can't get there because of Covid 19. We were lucky in that aspect that we were privileged to view this wonderful place like a local!

    Just note expat is the word for white immigrant. And immigrant is the word white people refuse to use to label themselves. Expat thus has an eyeroll negative connotation. Not attacking you, just sharing a food for thought.

  • @archetypex65

    On one hand it is worth saving some money once in awhile but if you constantly shop in France or Germany while living in Switzerland you are doing a disservice to the people of Basel the residents and citizens. The prices are high for a specific reason. Because everybody makes a decent wage not only in Basel but in all of Switzerland. Most of the lower end salaries are around 40,000 CHF. Rent is very affordable, while transportation and food are on the expensive side. Taxes are also much lower in Switzerland and Basel compared to Germany. There are many advantages to living in Switzerland and Basel over the rest of the EU countries. Shopping within the country and the City is the right thing to do. And please do not tell me you can't afford it... because you're driving an expensive car...🤦🏻‍♂️ whatever your husband is making, he is not being taxed 50% to 60% like in Germany and France. And if you're paying some tax to the UK you're getting that money back or a tax credit from Switzerland. If this trend continues to rise Switzerland will be forced to impose higher tariffs or inspect the borders on a more regular basis. Do the right thing. 👍

    • @archetypex65
      @archetypex65 4 роки тому

      In Basel you should be able to find a two-bedroom apartment starting around 1200 CHF. Now mind you that will probably be in Klein Basel, not Grosse Basel. A reasonable-nice two bedroom apartment will run between 1500 and 1800 Francs per month. Nicer Apartments will run from 2000 CHF and upwards per month. Depending on location, size and amenities.

  • @roundingcorners

    i still never understood why the swiss and germans dont make.a pact to bring supermarket pricing equal to each other, someone could make a killing in switzerland with a grocery chain

    • @archetypex65
      @archetypex65 4 роки тому

      Because Germany pays 50% to 60% in income taxes while Switzerland does not. In Basel the federal tax rate is around 30% to 35%, while the Canton tax is somewhere around 4% to 5%. The Swiss grocery store workers make much more than their German counterparts. This is one of many different reasons why food prices are high in Switzerland. The salaries of workers are much higher than German Workers. Switzerland does not provide free healthcare and that is a reason why they do not impose a 50% to 60% income tax. It's not a matter of making a pact it's a matter of quality of living, keeping poverty low and allowing free markets to dictate Healthcare rather than government control. Switzerland single-payer system works very well and Switzerland has one of the best Healthcare Systems in the world.

Looks like you quickly found the local good deals ;-) As a cross-border commuter (living in the French side, working near Basel) I quite often swing by the grocery and DIY store or petrol stations in Germany along the way. TBH German's behaviours and actions towards the French (i.e. by banning us from crossing the border) in the very early stage of the COVID pandemic, inclined me to change my mind.
