La Poste

Today I got a mail from out secretary informing that I had some mail. They happened to be mails sent more than 1 month back to my earlier place of residence, and redirected here. And pretty important stuff too. The Swiss govt wanted to see proof of my health insurance, and a reminder after one month of that saying that they will put me on some compulsory health insurance if I did not respond by 19 Aug. Rushed to speed-post them my health insurance proof from La Poste - the post office. Also, I need to go to the immigration and tell them that I am not extended my permit B to work in Switzerland. Such a hassle.

La poste is pretty cool though. You can pay any merchant in there. The other day Kodak sent me a bill for film development. I went to La Poste and paid the bill. They will credit it to Kodak through the account number on the bill. In fact, I can also pay my house rent in the same way.
