It's been a while since I last dropped by. Lausanne is cold again- somewhat reminiscent of the start of the year which seems both so far away now and yet not far at all.
We've almost come to the end of our MBA journey. So much has happened in these few months it is impossible to compile it in a blog. Many partners are on their way to motherhood, some for the first time.
We've almost come to the end of our MBA journey. So much has happened in these few months it is impossible to compile it in a blog. Many partners are on their way to motherhood, some for the first time.
We are now in the toughest phase of the MBA: The emotionally daunting 'job search'. I knew it was doing to be rather stressful but I was naive to declare the first and more studious bit of the year "tough". Anyway, I thought I might share some handy tips before we make our imminent exodus from this time warp we are in, to reality. I drafted a document a while back on grocery shopping in Lausanne and availability of Halaal food. I'm copy-pasting it here; hopefully the future partners will benefit from this.
I am not joking; with the right attitude, grocery shopping can be a true sport! ;)
- Names you should familiarize yourself with: Migros, Coop, Denner
These are the more popular supermarket chains and have outlets all over Lausanne.
- There is also ALDI known for its cheaper variety of products but the store is at a distance; so rent out a car or hitch a ride with someone who has a car or you'll have to swap two metros with lots of shopping bags which can be rather cumbersome.
- Denner is also quite friendly on the budget but often lacks in quality. You may purchase a pack of cheap onions and have half of them rotting already. So be careful.
- Watch out for “ACTION” marked on various items; these indicate discounted products.
- Often on Saturday afternoons, meat is sold at half price at local grocery stores.
TIMINGS:
- When you arrive in Dec/Jan up until Mar/Apr all stores close at around 5-6 in the evening.
- During the summer, shops are opened for longer; The Migros on Ouchy staying opened till 9:45 pm. - A “quick-store” like the Coop Pronto might be open until 10 but those are very few- and to my knowledge- only one on Avenue D’Ouchy. Also, they compensate for their "accessibility" by charging higher rates on just about every product.
- Apart from some exceptions, stores are closed on Sundays (Dimanche)
ASIAN FOOD
There is a nice, cosy Asian shop located on Avenue des Jordil for almost all kinds of Chinese/ Thai/ Japanese and Indian ingredients.
Indian themed Asian stores are also located at Rue du Simplon and Avenue du France.
Timings of Asian stores vary; some opening after 11am. They put up notices on the main door and you may have to jot them down somewhere.
HALAAL FOOD
Halaal meat stores can be found in Lausanne Flon, Lausanne Gare & Rue du Simplon.
The nearest one is located just beside the Gare station opposite to Tan Tan i.e. where Rue du Simplon meets Avenue William Fraisse.
Halaal stores usually open around 10am.
More variety of halaal meat is available at Grand Atlas just across Lausanne Gare on Avenue Louis-Ruchonnet 3.
You can find halaal frozen burgers and pizza’s at Asian stores on Avenue de France close to Maharaja restaurant.
Note: The variety of foodstuff (and more) is also dependent on the size of the outlet. You might want to visit Coop City and Migros Triple M in case you’re looking for more specific items.
All Asian stores sell almost all kinds of Asian products (Chinese/ Indian/ Japanese/ Thai). Sea food is definitely cheaper here.
Also, Annecy (France) is only an hour's drive by car; the big Carrefour store there is absolute bliss!
