Hello, A while ago I was in Switzerland, Zurich and two more cities. At arrival with plane I was walking throught airport, getting into train, later enjoying the mountains. And I found some interesting things. Everywhere where I walked, the footpath was clean (no mess at all, or extremelly rare if something, where much people after EURO2008), the roads had no holes, there were pretty smooth, low traffic (much mass-transport), non-agreassive drivers, great air in Zurich great sea (very large lake). Very helpful and chatty people with nice English (90% of them knew english pretty clearly)). But quite expensive food, drink and transport (in very nice and clean restaurants) > but this is details as their payouts are pretty high also (are they?) Is the whole Switzeralnd like this, or I was just lucky?
I've never been to Switzerland, but read and seen so much from books, movies, and the internet. If there was one country where I want to be born in my next life, it would be Swiss.
I forgot to mention... Please, ask some friends from there if you know some, I really would like to know. It is beautiful country, (from my stay), one more thing I noticed > people were so "cool" not hurrying into work like much of us do, they work quality and good and hard, for good money, but not stressing themselves, they are somehow "slow" (but not lazy, just very good strategy of thinking - also inteligent) I mean, they have a great balanced speed, between work and life. And every details.. nature everywhere, no butt-end from cigarets on the road etc etc, separation in trash pretty much in public places. everything is green.
Wish in my honeymoon I can already afford to go that place... Hope I will do good in Google Adsense this year
You ask "How is the life in Switzerland ?" and put that as your thread tittle. The answer is : Everywhere where you walk, the footpath was clean, the roads had no holes, there were pretty smooth, low traffic (much mass-transport), non-agreassive drivers, great air in Zurich great sea (very large lake). Very helpful and chatty people with nice English. It is beautiful country, people were so "cool" not hurrying into work like much of us do, they work quality and good and hard, for good money, but not stressing themselves, they have a great balanced speed, between work and life. And every details.. nature everywhere, no butt-end from cigarets on the road etc etc, separation in trash pretty much in public places. everything is green. That's the answer.
You will never regret that ! I miss it so much I think I have never been on better place, but I when some local swiss member will write honest 'review' then we will have better view of the situation Yes, maybe, but I was there only a extra short time,and in extra less plaes, means, it could be "garbled information" : - ) I could be lucky to walk at best places, maybe other are bad, wrong, killing, poor, dangerous... who knows? : - D (well the one who live there, that is why I would like to ask a question) : - )

Thank you very much! that laws make swiss as it is and the whole article seems very true. much thanks
The best thing about Switzerland is their superhigh speed internet. They have one of the fastest in the world.
any proof? I heard they don't have more than 10Mbps usually (DSL), only on special request from some providers. But, Im not sure, I heard only...
Switzerland is really like that...Due to a super repressive law system. That works and should be like that all over the globe.
Thats what I've heard mate. I have never been there. Proof I have none. You could google it if you really wanted to know.
My girlfriend and I visited Zurich earlier this year for a week, after wanting to go there for over 5 years. I've gotta say, what you're saying completely mirrors my experience. I was amazed at how such a vibrant city, with a diverse mix of business, commerce and culture, could be kept so clean. The food was ridiculously expensive, even by the standards of the UK. But by comparing the same standards, public transport was quite cheap, very clean (of course) and ultra-efficient. The people; friendly, interesting and, you won't believe it, but some of them actually smile when they're walking down the street. A phenomenon seldom observed where I'm from. Of course it's one of the most affluent cities in the entire World, and has cost of living to match, but it's certainly a place I would consider living in the near future, perhaps a little way down from the centre of Zurich in one of the lake-side towns/villages.
^ +1 . thats what I heard too and in colleges , its free. A friend of mine is studying i one such college doing his MBA mate
never mind they are highly advanced, you can be correct honestly, the Internet would be the very last thing I would care about if I had a chance to live there EDIT: Or maybe I should visit Paris, Roma, London, Moscow, Berlin, Madrid, etc etc and then pick up some final destination
I have been to swiss 10 years ago, when i was only 13 years old!!! Me along with my family went for a Europe tour, and without doubt, we really enjoyed swiss. Since then, i always wanted to move there. I'm glad to see this thread, and looking forward for any inputs from a swiss resident.
