Help from suprising people

My ex-workmates were planning to have a beer (or three, if they're following the familiar routine). Due to the moving I couldn't go but I sent everyone an e-mail revealing that we're moving.

I was very happily surprised that one of my ex-workmates lived for a few years in the same part of Switzerland we're moving to. He sent me some advice and links to net resources, which will probably prove to be invaluable.

Thanks!
