And thanks for days of reading :)Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12648520504958272137noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-148784316266362795.post-29408069604184300272009-10-20T05:04:40.031+02:002009-10-20T05:04:40.031+02:00HOLY COW!!

This is such a loss for the Expat community, but a gain for Perth. Thanks for all the tips and pics.<br />I'm glad we got to meet during the bloggers meet up in April.<br />All the best to you!<br />xoxo, <br />VivianUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15150334474211247987noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-148784316266362795.post-35721364987944474662009-10-11T18:40:13.680+02:002009-10-11T18:40:13.680+02:00Swisstory is an amazing blog, Jessica.

I will be moving to Zurich in April after my wedding (my fiance currently lives there), and I feel so much more prepared because of your blog. Thank you!<br /><br />I have a favor to ask ... will you keep this blog on the web (translated: please don't disable it!)? There is so much great information in here - and there's no doubt that I will tap into it prior to my move - and once I'm there. If not, I'll scour your blog and pull down all the information I need now - but figured it couldn't hurt to ask the question.<br /><br />We will miss reading your Swiss stories, Jessica. Best of luck on your move :)Katiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01846532574376579143noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-148784316266362795.post-44634765562103686712009-10-09T16:59:43.017+02:002009-10-09T16:59:43.017+02:00sad we didn't have a chance to cross paths...a...sad we didn't have a chance to cross paths...at least this time around...what's going to happen to your garden?Jackhttp://freshattitude.laughinglemon.chnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-148784316266362795.post-52831214133382024902009-10-07T19:40:28.047+02:002009-10-07T19:40:28.047+02:00Aw, Jessica.

As so many others have said, your insights have been so helpful, even to those living outside of Zurich. We truly are losing a Swiss Expat blogging legend. I am so thankful for all that you have done for us: organizing events, creating the network, and showering us with such refreshing posts. I'm glad you will continue to blog in Australia, and I certainly look forward to following you on your next adventure.

It really means a lot to me to know that all that I put out into the blogosphere is being read and enjoyed by all of you. It really encourages me to keep sharing my experiences abroad and to create a new blog for Australia.<br /><br />I am glad that I was able to help those new to Zürich on occassion with tips and hints and I hope that the blog will remain a resource for future expats in Switzerland...<br /><br />About 8 more weeks to go! So I look forward to blogging about the leaving experience and imparting some knowledge on leaving Switzerland as well... <br /><br />Thanks again everyone!
