I'm still not used to looking at the price tags here without thinking of converting them into our local currency. A can of coke can buy me 5 cans back home never mind the kebab which on average costs 10 swiss franc each here which is around $15 each. That again is a price of 4 or 5 kebabs back home.
Eating at a restaurant is of course a lot more expensive. At the moment, it is a luxury we can't quite afford as we are moving into our residence here which is unfurnished. But thankfully with the endless hours spent house hunting from every corner of Geneva, we finally found one that is within reach. We settle for a house which is near to where I work but unfortunately very far from the kids' school. I would love to have a house near the kids' school but the school is located in an expensive neighbourhood and none of the houses that we saw there were within our reach. I will need all the money we have to buy the necessary essentials as all our stuff, furniture and what not are still on their way from laos. We were told because of the recent flooding in Thailand, our shipment could not be done and all the stuff were sitting at a warehouse until a few days ago.
