Note: This was created with Gemini. Scena di apertura: Sebastian e il Tram Misterioso (Ispirazione Steampunk/Adams) Il tintinnio del campanello del tram squarciรฒ la bruma del mattino zurighese. Non era la solita nebbia, no. Era la nebbia dell’autunno del 1783, densa, quasi solida. Sebastian, il tranviere dall’irriverente ciuffo color carota, strizzรฒ gli occhi contro il grigiore, cercando di scorgere i binari. I suoi quattordici anni si sentivano tutti in quei momenti, un ammasso di sogni impossibili e la paura tremenda di deragliare per un sasso fuori posto.

I’ve been in Ziurich for 10 years, so now I can apply for swiss passport (I heard once you do, you get a free gold lingot from a Nazi caveau).

Jokes apart, the top complexity here is to pass an exam in German (Swiss German oder Hoch Deutsch, your choice).

This article describes my steps and struggles. Luckily, I have super smart colleagues in Google who helped me. This is my trying to give back :)
