Switzerland: Lugano - Yoga in English:

Good luck getting this started. If we move there in a few months, my wife will definitely be interested.

Switzerland: Anyone ship their motorcycle to Swtizerland?:

Thinking of taking mine with me (I have a US endorsement for it). If you did, do you get an m/c endorsement for free if you get your driver's license immediately or do you have to go through the Swiss licensing process (classes, testing, etc)?

Switzerland: Possibly moving to Lugano from US:

Before we start, let me preface this by saying I have lived overseas before (Sweden and Australia). I have an interview for a highly technical position in Lugano (I have a PhD) next week. The proposed package includes relocation expenses up to a certain amount. I'm curious about a) what people took with them when they moved, b) what did you regret not taking, c) did you take your car? (if you did, how much did moving it cost?) d) if you had an interview and a chance to visit before you accepted the job, what to you wish you had enquired about but didn't? e) What am I missing? I've read the book on living and working in Switzerland and feel a bit innundated with info at the moment.

Switzerland: US taxes while working in Switzerland:

If I'm not mistaken, the first $80,000 USD of your salary is deducted from your income for the purposes of US taxes.
