I was beginning to worry...Java? Poor soul. Anything special about the Swiss bureaucracy? Reminds me of the old jokeWell, if you don't have a suitcase full of $100 bills, opening a bank account in Switzerland is surprisingly difficult, especially if you are moving here from the U.S. If immigration then decides to request from you documents they already have, thus delaying your residence permit by a few more weeks, the bank ends up returning your first salary, just about the same time you have to pay a 3 month rental deposit for a small and ridiculously expensive apartment. Everything is slowly falling into place, but it has been an interesting ride.
