Dear Baroness, I'm losing my girlfriend to a bearded hipster!
Dear Baroness, Help. The love of my life is flirting with one of those full-bearded hipster guys every day at her job. I can’t compete with that amount of coolness. I can’t even grow facial hair. I look like Frodo and this guy looks like Wolverine. What can I do to get her attention back? Signed, Desperate Hobbit Dearest Hobbit, So many things to address...

Dear Baroness, Help! No one flirts in Zurich! What do I do?
Dear Baroness, I moved here 2 years ago from the UK with my boyfriend. We just split up a few months ago - I dumped him - and I’m trying to “get back on the horse”, as they say. Is it just me, or is it really hard to meet people in Zurich? Every time I meet someone’s gaze, they seem to look away quickly. I’ve been told I’m nice to look at, but I’m getting a complex! And flirting? Does this even...

The Baroness Speaks
Why do you people make resolutions on January 1st each year? I don’t understand it. Well, I do. Of course I do literally, but really, I don’t understand. Why set yourself up to fail? Because that’s what you will do. That’s what happens each year. Walk with me: You say you will lose 5 kilos. You do not. You say you will go to the gym five times a week. You go five times the first week, three times the second, one time the 3rd and by...

Wurst and Moritz: Character and charm
Gingers Gutschein Guide This week Ronsters, our Prozentbuch brought me to Wurst and Moritz, a charming little Wurst vendor situated right next to Escher Wyss Platz and very close to my local cinema. The perfect place for some pre-movie eats. Anyone thinking of writing off Wurst and Moritz as your typical Wurst shack should think again. This place is packed with character and charm. The Moritz of the title is a reference to a Willhelm Busch...

I had been to Zum Guten Glück before but the Gutschein promised 2 für 1 pancakes and as I had only sampled their waffles thus far (devine), I...

Wagamama: Noodles and ramen
Ginger's Gutschein Guide For those who’ve never Wagamama-ed, it’s a Japanese food specialist but less sushi, more noodles and ramen. I’ve been to a couple and the layout is usually the same in all of them: the usual hallway with the display cabinet of various Wagamama paraphernalia, cookbooks (corporate dining at its finest) on display leading you to podium where you wait to be seated. The table layout is very communal...

Passports and permanent vacation? Nationwide votes on 11 March
On 11 March, ballots are cast at a local, cantonal and national level. The Swiss may be wrongly associated with cuckoo clocks (which are, in fact, German) but theirs is a political system that is at least as intricate. A glimpse at how this clockwork ticks. The people and cantons will decide on five federal proposals concerning book prices, home ownership, landscape conservation, lotteries and more holidays. Many of these proposals come about...
