Rules, rules and more rules

It's always important to know the rules when you live in a new country. So if you don't already know them before you venture on your trip, then it's not too late to understand what is compulsory and what's not. Anyway today I went to a seminar in Bern, hosted by a represenative from the Integration of the City of Bern, the Chief Alien Police (although he didn't have two green heads, so not much of an Alien) and the City Councillor and Trade Union representative. All in all I learnt something new and have now a good contact with the Chief of Police in case I'm ever in a spot of bother. Also another very good book to read (thanks Kate) is "Living and Working in Switzerland" a survival handbook by David Hamsphire, I believe now on the 10th edition, so pretty much up to date.
