Where is here? Any brand should work. Just make sure your power supply voltage is correct for that region.

he reforms Obama wants work in the Netherlands and in Switzerland

he reforms Obama wants work in the Netherlands and in Switzerland?
Now how many people PER CAPITA are taxpayers in these countries as compared to people per capita in the United States? And besides that, people in those countries are typically good and sensible parents, as opposed to newborns born to drug-addicted mothers, children being brought up by parents who use little or no common sense in the care of their children. Edna, we'd be happy here too if we didn't have to worry about thugs from projects breaking into our elderly parent's home and killing them and all the other wonderful things that the welfare system brought about.

If someone wants to live in a country with Socialized Health Care, there are plenty of options available. They don't have to bring it here.

Google: "best place to have cancer" You will find that its Cuba. They have Universal Health Care, worse doctors than USA, and still more people survive cancer there than they do in the USA, because of their health care system and preventative measures. They are much poorer and less sensible than people in USA, so you are not making a point. "If someone wants to live in a country with Socialized Health Care, there are plenty of options available." Wrong, you have obviously never traveled or are ignorant to immigration procedures. You cant just fly to another country and instantly become a citizen. With most countries, you have to have gone to college in order to get a job there and have a work sponsor. You must live in a country for a certain amount of years on approved visas and extensions before you can ever apply for citizenship and take advantage of health benefits. Majority of uninsured people, are out of work, so they are not the ones who have these high skills to get jobs in other countries, and they are not rich to buy their way into the countries with investor visas. Therefore, if someone here is uninsured, and wants to move to those countries to take advantage of their health care system, then they must first spend 2 to 4 years in a USA college, then they must wait to find a job sponsor in that country, which is another year to 3 years, then they must go through all the visas and get approved, which wont happen if they have felonys or a lot of debt, then they must wait another 5 to 10 years on those visas to become a citizen. So all in all, it would take at least 12 to 20 years for an uninsured person in USA to be able to use the health care in another country. Not to mention all the money that would take to make the move, they might as well forget health care and spend that money on doctor bills here in USA. Besides, the uninsured have no money, or else they would be insured, so is no options for them, as you say. Im self employed, I want to be a citizen of Thailand. I stay there 6 months out of the year, and dont need to work a job there, but I can not stay there longer than 6 months unless I get a work sponsor. I cant get a work sponsor, because I am self employed and did not go to college (I own several websites that bring income in). They got rid of their investor visa, so I cant invest money to stay there, my only option is work sponsorship. So its a catch 22. Even if I had a work sponsor, I would still have to live there on visas for 10 years to apply for citizenship, and that doesnt guarantee that they will grant it, and nothing guarantees they will grant each visa since I have to apply for extensions each year.

And the day they will work in the USA pigs will fly.

I see, so what you are saying here... "newborns born to drug-addicted mothers, children being brought up by parents who use little or no common sense in the care of their children." is that Americans are too stupid to handle government healthcare. I have a little more faith in the American public.

sooner the better it will be great for the usa we need to stop being a second rate country , with a second rate health system

They are 1/100th of our population. They pay 50% in taxes, do a little more research. Their system would not work here, just on size alone.

Work attire in Switzerland

Work attire in Switzerland?
I am about to move to Switzerland, and recently had my ears pierced (I am male) - I read that work attire in Switzerland was very casual - I hope to get an office job which may involve some client interaction (probably in Zurich) - will I be expected to remove my earrings?

unless you got multiple piercings (where the entire outer pinna is studded) or the really long bar-type double-piercings, i wouldn't worry about it; single piercing should be ok. work dress in Switzerland ranges from conservative to casual, though in general, i find the Swiss to be better dressed than Americans; they may not be as flamboyant as the rest of Europe, but men do dress with style and (more) flair than in the States. i'd worry more about that (especially if you're the blue shirt+khakis kind of guy).
2 :
you should ask your employer about it. that's simple.
3 :
Well my husband's grandfather has an earring, if that helps any... I think one earring per ear should be fine, nothing too big, though it'll probably depend on the job. As you might imagine, the banks and insurance companies are typically more conservative than...uh, are there any other industries here? Anyway, you may be expected to wear a suit, but tasteful earwear should be fine.
4 :
They are pretty casual about things like that, as long as it's tasteful. If they don't want you to wear it to work they will say so.
5 :
First of all we are not living in the middle Ages anyway! Also not in Switzerland even if for some people Switzerland is cheese, Alps and chocolate what it's all about we are not that complicated. I think if you will work in a bank or at a Hotel and you are tongue, lip or eyebrow's pierced it could be a problem. But earrings is no problem! I even got my nose pierced and work in a office job! Wish you all the best for your new start!
6 :
No, chances are you won't unless you are aiming for an ultra-conservative field such as private banking. Zurich is so hip anyway, you'd be out of place to not have a piercing. My husband works for the telcom industry, seems like these days anything goes, even Marilyn Manson t-shirts.
7 :
No . Most men in switzerland have pierced ears, especially if they are from farming family. Casual dress is ok.

Your question has been asked here many, many times. Entering it into the "Ask" windows (http://answers.yahoo.com/question/ask;_ylt=Ar1dqOyrsjQw77dFj1WCH1kazKIX;_ylv=3 ) would have given you instant access to plenty of very good and longish answers. Here are the main things you must provide if you only want to apply for a work and residence permit for Switzerland: - Highly specialized professsional skills neither a Swiss or a EU citizien has. You must prove this with the appropriate certificates (internationnaly recognised university diploma and such). - Knowledge of fluency in either German, French, Italian (in very rare cases, if applying for high positions in management, English would do) If you can't cope with this, better forget about dreaming of living in Switzerland. Consider that the worldwide downturn had a very siginificant influence onto the Swiss labor market, chances even for Swiss and EU citizens to get a job are very limited, too.
