Hey, I'm looking for a place in Bern where I can buy good shoes that aren't too expensive. I've been looking for a while but can't seem to find any that suit me. I have one foot that is a little bigger and wider than the other, so if you have any tips on where I can find some that would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance for your help!

Hi all,

I live in an apartment building down town.

First of all, I have the most annoying door bell sound of all fucking time. It sounds like a siren and it makes you jump up startled out of your seat.

Secondly, these people with political adverts are constantly ringing my door bell to dump their trash in our lobby. As well as every UPS, DHL & Swiss Post delivery man even if the delivery isn’t for me. This starts at 7 AM even on weekends!

Why are these political adverts in private spaces allowed? We all have the signs on our mail boxes that spam mail isn’t allowed.

Our name is the first on the door bell list, so I’m guessing that’s why they choose me. Sometimes I try to ignore it, but they won’t stop & I am just done.

Is there anything I can do to stop this? I’d be open to disabling my door bell, but I guess I do need it sometimes & I don’t even know how I can do it.

I can’t ever take a nap, have a work phone call or moment of god damn peace.

Sorry … I’m ranting

Thanks

If I am currently working in Switzerland but do not plan to exceed 90 days of L-type permit, is it also mandatory to pay for health insurance if I plan to leave Switzerland within 90 days?

Hey.

I’m feeling quite embarrassed about my situation, but I’m hoping someone here might have an advice for me.

I’ve been living in Switzerland for about a year, and things were going well at first. However, after losing my job and facing various expenses from moving (like deposit and commission), my finances took a hit. Fortunately, I’ve secured a job in a warehouse starting on November 18, but I’m struggling to find anything in my field of artistic blacksmithing.

Now, I’m looking for information about what to do and where can i get some help? After covering my rent, I’m down to nearly nothing. I’ve tried using TooGoodToGo and various discounts, but i can't afford even that atm. I heard about those fridges, but i forgot what is their name, are they good, can you find something there?

If anyone knows of any part-time jobs that pay at the end of the shift, I would greatly appreciate it. I’m available every day until November 18 and on weekends. I’m 28, don’t drink or smoke, and I speak English, Deutsch, Czech, Serbian. I studied artistic blacksmithing and have three years of experience. I’m also handy around the house and have a B driving license with plenty of experience in driving. I live near Bern in Schliern, but I’m open to opportunities in the surrounding areas.

I’m sorry to share my struggles, but I’m really in need right now and have to figure it out asap tho.

Thank you for reading, and I appreciate any advice you might have.

Did anyone else hear a loud explosion noise earlier today? It happened twice. I can't figure out what it was or where it came from. Just curious if anyone has any info on it!

Hallo

Ich wurde von vielen empfehlt das ich soll zur Therapie gehen uhm zu herausfinden ob ich depressive bin oder was. Bin noch niemals zur Therapie gegangen obwohl ich in Bern für 20 Jahre bin und geboren. Wie wirkt das auch? Macht die Therapeut/in auch die Diagnose? Ich weiss einfach nicht?!?!

Hi guys, I am looking to find zero waste stores in Bern where they have EVERYTHING zero waste not just groceries but also things such as haircare, skincare, cleaning products...Mostly chemical products because it is very hard to find them without all the plastic packaging. It would also be nice if it were somewhat affordable. Thanksss!

I go to the gymnasium and I often have difficulties to use my weekend effectively, and I figured if I get out of my home to study, I have a much better chance to get done what I want. Any libraries, campuses or other locations I can go for that?

Long story, short, yesterday around Munchen, doing some parking manouvers, heard some noises from the engine bay. From my experience it might be pulleys or pulley tensioners. My Audi dealer is around 1500km far away, and I need an Audi specialized service, at least for a diagnose or so. Of course I’ll head tomorrow to Audi Amag here in Bern, as I can’t book an online appointment for the whole week with them at the moment. Any other advice is welcome. All the best.

I have a question regarding tax in Bern for married couples earning significantly different amounts. Specifically permit B holders, with the quellensteuer / withholding tax.

Am I correct in understanding the dual-income tariff is a fixed percentage, irrespective of the other spouse’s income?

Example: If spouse 1 earns 6500chf/month, and spouse 2 earns 700chf/month, the dual income tariff means spouse 1 must pay roughly 5% extra per month (325chf) despite this being half of spouse 2’s total income. Is this correct?

Thanks in advance!

Hello everybody,

Hopefully this is allowed. I won't be able to attend the concert but if anyone is interested in Colombian folkloric music (Cumbia), I'm giving away 2 tickets

Date: Sunday 3.11.2024, 15h00 (doors are open at 14h30)
PROGR 
Waisenhausplatz 30, 3011 Bern

I live in Lausanne and the tickets are digital so no need to meet in person, I can send them.

Regards.

Hello!

I'm looking for some advice/opinion, because it is a new challenge for me. I currently live in Geneva, I work at the University, and from March 1 I'm going to work in Bern. There are no gap between my two employment contracts. I have a permit B. I don't know the apartment rental market in Bern, so I would like to ask for your help now. I currently have two solutions in mind (but if you know of another, please write it down!) What is the better solution for finding an apartment?

1. Temporary apartment from March for 2-3 months, meantime looking for an apartment locally

What's your oppinion about this: https://www.apartmenthouse.ch/de/ ?

1. 2. Somehow arrange the apartment rental from Geneva

Currently my payslips are from UNIGE and I haven't received my new work contract from UNIBE. I also see travel as an obstacle for regular apartment viewings. Also, how long before moving do you have to start looking for an apartment in Bern?

Thank you so much!

Hoi zäme , Im attending UniBern as an exchange student for a semester of two starting in February and want to enjoy my time as much as possible. I guess im looking for any advice about student life. What do you think of social life in the city especially for students? Which area should I look to stay in? Looking on student lodge website, there are rooms in tsharnergut, bümpliz nord, bolligen, and wankdorf city. I’ve visited before but I want to see as much of the country (possible surrounding countries as well) while I’m there. Are there student options for public transport passes or something? What would make sense for somebody that needs to get around the city and maybe take trips on weekends? Also maybe a long shot but if anybody wants to make friends my dms are open (i think). I’m 19 (almost 20). I like guitar/music, reading, hiking/anything outdoors, gym, video games, etc. also open to trying pretty much anything new. My German ist nicht sehr gut yet but I’m trying to learn as much as possible before I leave (possibly some Swiss German as well). Trotzdem merci vielmals für lesen

Hoi zäme,

Are there any big (house)- partys this friday or saturday, that you guys know of?

I was invited to a huge student party, but they uninvited like 50% of the people now, because they didn't think about the fact that every invited person brings atleast a +1. LMFAO

But yeah, now I've got a fresh haircut, fresh shoes, fresh halloween mask and everything, but I don't have a party to got o anymore.😂

So i thought maybe I'll just ask here if anybody knows if there are any big partys tomorrow.

Hello,

Looking for an uncomplicated carpenter where i can bring a piece of wood to help me out with some stuff. You know any place where i can just pass by?

Hello folks

I’m new in 3011. Could you let me know where I can throw my compost around? Are there many places, if so, could you share where I can check to spot? I couldn't find the info easily in google, sorry.

Thanks in advance!

ich meine Zeug wie Longlane/Längige, Mundige, Wanki, Zollywood usw.

Does anyone know where I can get a Christmas tree around BE? It would be great to get it as fresh as possible so I can prep it beforehand.

And extra : could I get this myself anywhere ? What is the legality of obtaining a mountain pine sapling? I have no idea and google search results are not so clear on this either.

For my family of four it would be our first christmas as we lived in Africa before and never could celebrate.

Hi, I would like to have my earlobes pierced in Bern. I looked around a bit on the internet and found the studios El Mundo and Stechwerk, which look promising. It is important to me that the piercings are done with a needle and not with an ear-piercing gun. Does anyone have experience with either of these studios, or can recommend one to me?

Edit (27.10.24): Thank you everybody for your responses! Looks like everybody had a good experience at El Mundo while Stechwerk was not really mentioned that much. I guess that settles it. I‘ll try to make an appointment there next week.

My neighbour is tearing down his house and building a new one. Do they need my approval for this?

There were a lot of vans driving around, and a stationary SRF van in Rathausgasse. Any clues?

Hoi zäma! 😊Ich bin Josef, 26 Jahre alt, und aktuell auf der Suche nach einer 1-Zimmer-Wohnung oder einem Studio in Bern. Mein Budget liegt bei maximal 800 CHF. Ideal wäre eine ruhige Lage mit guter Anbindung an den öffentlichen Verkehr, damit ich meinen Masterstudiengang bequem erreichen kann. Ich bin aber ebenso offen, ein bisschen entfernt von der Stadt zu wohnen, solange der Ort über eine gute Internetverbindung verfügt.

Ich bin ordentlich, zuverlässig und freue mich riesig über eure Tipps oder Angebote! 🙏.

Merci vielmal für eure Hilfe! 😊

Does anyone know a cheap and good dentist in Bern? Ideally that speaks English.

Thank you!

Hello folks! I’m looking for the last minute chance. Is there anyone who would be willing to sell the ticket for tonight? Or is there any nice bar in Bern to watch the match?

Hey, me and two freinds of mine want to play 2 vs 2 this evening in Bern. Time can be flexible. Is anybody interessted to join today?

Heys guys I'm moving to Bern for about 6 to 8 months to work and make some money. I'm coming from Canada and I'm also Italian. Do you think is possible? I'm pretty much looking for anything. I just wanted to know how the job market is for expats. Thanks

Ich werde mich in den kommenden Wochen für ein Paar Tage in Bern befinden. Werde leider den Freitag- und Samstagabend verpassen. Ich weiß, dass Bern keine sehr dynamische Stadt ist, aber gibt es Lokale, an denen am Sonntagabend was los ist? Club, Bar etc? Danke im Voraus
