I will not repeat myself.
But, I will repeat myself.
Switzerland is VERY EXPENSIVE.
OK, Accepted Fact, but not an Acceptable, err, "State of Being"....in my humble opinion.
That Fact being, that - Most of "The World" - has become Very Expensive to Survive.
On a day to day, week to week, month to month, basis.
(Though there still remain, within this Lingeringly, Low, Economic, Climate, spots, where your money, can, err, "Drain out of your wallet", more, "Slowly", and shall we say : Reasonably....??
(And, I am, of course, leaving out, the various, other Facts, that there ARE very Wealthy People, all over the world, some even Thriving in the Economic, Doom and Gloom (no statistics please !)
Well, back to Switzerland.
(The above is a possible, Topic of a more Serious, Discussion, and Exchange of Opinions, and Experiences, to bring to the table, at a "Dinner Party", perhaps this weekend...?)
TAX on your Salary, here in Switzerland, is one of the LOWEST IN THE WORLD.
Taxation Rates, even VARY within the country itself.
Taxation Rates, on your salary change, From District to District, and even between, each village, or town, within a District !!
(I am digressing....I know....I know....but, hopefully, it is still, somewhat an interesting, read, for you, about, aspects of "Life", here :)
So - I give you THE BUDGET RANGE.
(No, this is not my, Private Collection, Made in collaboration, and in China, with, err, Karl Lagerfeld, available in Hennes, or something of an equivalent !)
Thankfully there is a Budget Range, in the two main chains of Supermarket's here.
One is called : COOP.
The Other is called : MIGROS.
Here, for your Saturday Afternoon, Shopping, Sampling is :
Coming to you, "Live and Direct", from THE BUDGET RANGE LABEL, OF SWISS SUPERMARKET - MIGROS.
BUDGET M.
To be found on the Lower Shelves of every Migros in the Country.
Well, the FOOD PART, of the Budget Range, that is. Which has exactly, the same Packaging, and Colouring, as you see here. Green, Orange, Black, and White.
In truth, THIS CLOTHING RANGE, is available, (as far as I know) from the following WebSite :
And - THIS BAG, DOES WHAT IT SAYS - it Costs - 29.90 Swiss Francs.
Got to go to All Levels, of, the, err, Swiss-Spending-Spectrum, Surely ?
Now, I am no longer, sadly, a : "Student".....
But, I am also, bringing to the Friday Night, a-for, mentioned Dinner Party Table, the, err, "Statement", that :
"Are we not, ALL STUDENTS ANYWAYS ?"
That is to say; are we not; All - when you, err -
"Strip it right down"....Constantly, Hopefully, LEARNING about Life....?
Especially, and, ALL THE MORE SO, when one finds oneself, moving, and living in A NEW COUNTRY..?
Now, Please do Contest me, if you disagree, I am Open to All Opinions, at This Evenings` "Supper Club" :) Here in Zurich.
REWIND to THE RANGE :
And because IT IS Friday Night.
And this BUDGET M, Fashion, does remind me of being Circa. Age 16-26... ,-)
Here`s a Toast to :
"The Golden Era, of Budget Pasta, Noodles, Rice, and Beans - Continues..."
Even, Herr Lagerfeld, has been quoted to say :
I have now exactly the same weight I had when I was 18, 20.
Karl Lagerfeld
Until next Time, Thanks for reading, Yours, CFC x
