Happiness is a state of mind or feeling characterized by contentment, satisfaction, pleasure, or joy. Happiness comes from deep within, and not from people, situations, or circumstances. According to Researchers from Harvard Medical School and the University of California, San Diego: “When an individual becomes happy, the network effect can be measured up to three degrees. One person’s happiness triggers a chain reaction that benefits not only his friends, but his friends’ friends, and his frien …

This is a group for anyone who knows (or wants to know) the Zurich district of Oerlikon. Ideally you live/work in Zurich/ Oerlikon so we can meet up and check out the area and organize events depending on weather conditions. I started this group because quite a lot of people are working/living in Oerlikon who do not know each other but stay/live near by. This group is for everyone, especially expats who wish to share their "specific" Oerlikon experiences with other "Oerlikonien".

Gathering decent, quality people to meet and do fun, social, relaxing, recreational activities together like dinner, boardgames, dancing, biking, hiking, weihnachtsmarkt, drinking, whatever people do in Ulm or around Germany, Europe, and beyond. Singles, couples, all are welcomed.

A social group, the Hash House Harriers are international but mainly English-speaking. We run or walk following a trail set by one of the group (the "hare").

The Fribourg group meets every 3rd Sunday at 14:00 - check out our MeetUp calendar for dates through August 2012. For more information, contact the MeetUp organizer (TailGate).
