1/Job opportunities 2/Gastronomic possibilities 3/Environment 4/Culture 5/Infrastructure **2. Why do we live where we live?** I live in Zürich mainly because the **professional ooportunities** (1)this city offers. Besides that I find the respect for the **environment** and **direct acces to nature** (2) an important reason to count on my decision to stay here (we enjoy 2 rivers, a lake and the magnificient Alps mountains to escape to humans'natural original habitat). In third place I would consider the broad **international cultural offer** (3) this city has like music and visual arts, even though not so cutting-edge proposals. Being well connected also plays an important role for me as my passion for travelling enrich my quality of life. In this field, Zürich has an **infrastructure system** (4) easy accesible and highly connected with the rest of the world (20 minutes to its international airport and train takes you anywhere in the country). The last criteria would be **economical/political stability** that Switzerland offers, a country where is easy to set up a company and where unemplyment is one of the lowest in the planet. ![Panoramic view of Zürich][1] **3. To what extend does your own place of residence fulfill your ideal livability criteria?** 1/Job opportunities=100 2/Gastronomic possibilities=40 3/Environment=80 4/Culture=80 5/Infrastructure=90 Overall score 80 **4. What would you change?** I would try to develope the Gastronomic criteria: I would facilitate acces to more economic restaurants where people with social needs could work, and citizens and tourists could choose different budget options without decreasing the quality of the food, or stablish more vouchers to the companies without canteen with reduction prices for their employees in order to satisfy the workers with less income that can't afford everyday restaurant service. **5. Why do we move?** In case I would find good job opportunities, I would move back to the Mediterranean countries in cities like Barcelona, Roma or Tel Aviv, or even to well connected islands like Ibiza or Sardinia.
