OK we are small.  Zug is small.  Almost the smallest.  It is not every day that Zug is in the news nationally or internationally.  But when we are, then we go big.  We make it to the top and for the right reasons and we are proud.  This time we made it to the second place nationally of a very cool and meaningful ranking.  It was in Bilanz.  You know the financial and business magazine that publishes every year, among other things, who the richest people are in Switzerland.  I always buy that issue.  Just in case they try...

Monday evening.  In Freiruum.  Around 8pm.  5 of us sitting at a wooden table.  We already had food.  From 5 different food stands.  I wonder what the 5 of us have in common, if we all got different food.  Oh well, not the point of the story.  We are drinking.  5 different drinks.  Same thought again (what do we have in common).  Oh well again.  We are drinking slowly.  No motivation, or rather Monday evening drinking motivation.  Sara decides to speed it up. “Never have I ever…”, she said and we all got the point.  That game.  If you...

I have been debating with myself for a few days now if I should write about the corona virus in Zug. Or if I should write anything at all.

That’s why I created Zug.rocks and that’s what gets me out of bed every day. And I will continue doing just that. corona zug On Instagram, on Facebook or here, I never...

Has this ever happened to you? To think or even dare to say out loud: “am I the only foreigner here”? Yes? No? How about this one? To think or again to dare to say out loud: “is it all foreigners around here”? Yes? No? Chances are that you have come close to experience both nowadays, wherever you are and specially in our international Switzerland. I hope any of the two remained a thought and that you did not share that thought with the world. It can be polarizing and get you in trouble either way. Reality is that...

I have been here now over a year. I have been very fortunate to meet a lot of Zug people. If we have not met, it is a matter of time. I am looking forward to that because Zug has really fun people. All special in their own way. Every interaction is a blast and an opportunity to unveil the many facets of this canton. On the way I figured out patterns, in the sense of groups that most of us belong to. Like with any segmentation or grouping, nothing is absolute. But we might see ourselves, a part...
