The McDonalds next to bahnhof Stadelhofen has free wifi if you bring a laptop. There are 2 coin operated computer terminals if you didn't.
Edited to add: Be sure and bring a mobile phone that can receive SMS texts. McDonalds requires you register (for free) with a mobile phone.

Moving, moving, moving
Tomorrow S is starting kindy at her new kindergarten. I didn't find this out until a couple of days ago but her teacher does not speak English at all. Oh boy. There is a little girl who S knows through daddy at her school that does speak English so that is good but I am still a little nervous.
Why are we moving already? We sublet an apartment for 3 months in Zurich proper through a relocation place. I didn't want to sublet for any longer than that because the relocation place charges an increasing percentage depending on the duration of the lease. What I didn't count on was how much this pregnancy would kick my ass. So I didn't have enough time to settle in, let alone get to know the city, before finding a place. The husband's colleague recommended the burb he lives in and it almost seems perfect. We will see, I guess.
If we stayed where we are now, we'd have to buy a car because it takes upwards of 30-40 minutes by bus to get anywhere. The place we are moving to is remote but there are a couple of grocery stores, a post office and bakery within 5 minutes walking.
Hopefully internet will be turned on soon so I can post pics of the Christmas parade we went to tonight.
