No wonder you left, loser
But I can visit Lugano too you know. Hell, I may even be able to retire there. Whereas you'll have to live in a studio in Zurich or Basle or some such soul-destroying place.
I was staying up in a rustic mountain cabin overlooking Lake Lugano and I would go with you on the fact that it is the most beauttiful place in the world.
If you have some time to walk up the mountain, just over the border in Italy there is a place called Signola(sp). You can sit up in the clean Alpine air and look out towards Milano and eat pizza. Classic
No not touching a nerve. Anyone who reads your post sees the sadness.
Wait till the honeymoon period wears off, then you'll have to cope with yourself. Remember I told you, wherever you go you'll have "you" to cope with. It's not where you are you, it's what you do and who you know.
For all it's undoubted flaws, London is alive and full of passion.

I am in Lugano next week, one of the most beautiful places in the planet. In the same amount of time you haven't yet crossed zone 6 from your studio flat in East London in a sardine-packed tube. But hey, if that's passion for you, I am happy for you.

Like most people I've had periods of my life when I was very happy, and periods when I was not. When I was very happy I wasn't busying myself on bulletin boards on the internet telling strangers how happy I was.
When you're not even thinking about how happy you might be, that's when you're happy.
Touching a nerve I see..... so are you a londoner too?

Happiness is... a job in Switzerland
Who are you trying to convince, us or yourself?

Happiness is... a job in Switzerland
swissinfo, Matthew Allen
My problem with Switzerland, well Zurich was, even the street festival felt like attending a trade show. Completely soul less, no atmosphere. They may think they are having a good time but I am not sure that they know what a good time is.
I am already here. I see you are as slow as usual, huh?
It's good to get away from a sad bunch of london losers like yourself that are sad even if they have a million pound of cash in their pocket and don't know how to spend it. Believe me, there is more than money in life: quality of life, something that doesn't exist in London unfortunately.
To thunderlizard: I yet have to find an ethical state which did not make money out of wars, mafia, drugs, etc.. Given the chance all states would have done exactly the same.
You're such a saddo
When a man is tired of London, he's tired of life - Samuel Johnson.
Still true after all these centuries.
I worked in Switzerland for a year and found them to be smug, inefficient and boring as hell. Why don't you get of your arse and go there if you like it so much, eh?
