Hmm, did somebody say taxes?
June 4 - Basel is in the corner of Switzerland, bordered by Germany and France. You can pretty much stand in the three countries at the same time....
So Living in Switzerland they tax my salary a whole bunch....Additionally I came to this part of the world to learn to speak French...As luck would have it, I have ended up in the German speaking part of Switz!
So if I can get a frontilier permit (basically means a border rider deal) then I can work in Switz, tax/deduction free and live in France and apprenez le français...
So we will see what happens there...talking to HR department today, they are not so sure that I can do it, but there are ways around the French visa paperwork.
So I leave it there on this Friday afternoon in sleepy Basel....Tonight we start with dinner in Germany or France - the group is not sure yet....but I can be sure that a bar will be involved!
