Despite it's natural beauty, Switzerland is actually a shitty place to spend your 20s. You'll end up drafted in the military and sit around waiting for terrorist attacks on a daily basis. Also, your typical Friday and Saturday nights are spent at a poorly lit bar with you and about 5 other people in a small town containing no more that 200 people.

Enjoy your stay in Switzerland.

observations as an outsider from four months in Geneva:
>public transport system has no tap in/tap out, no entry gates, only spot inspections. In Geneva, they're uniformed inspectors, in Zurich, they're plainclothes
>used to be a law about loud water usage (toilets/showers) after certain hours (not sure if expat legend nonsense, or true)
>anything involving human labor is super expensive (think restaurant service, skilled labor), but supermarkets/rent not that expensive
>people buy "Made in Switzerland" things at the store despite deep integration into EU economy
>no Amazon; packages get taxed at border when shipped in from Amazon FR or DE
>joined UN only in 2002 despite huge UN presence in Geneva
>despite being huge center of reformation in 16th century, all the young people are non-religious. They know who Zwingli and Calvin are, but don't care
>the trains run on time
>fairly easy to find a way out of army service, guys tell me
>public referenda are used for all sorts of laws, there are billboards in public parks with posters from parties saying how they stand on the next upcoming referenda
>the parliamentary voting system is completely screwed up. Ballot is entirely illegible
>the head of government is titular and executive decisions are made by a group of seven chosen by parliament. That group always announces its decision as a consensus without saying how individual members voted

Pretty interesting huh?
>>
- about 60% of the population speaks swiss-german (slightly derives from formal german), 30% speaks french and 10% speaks italian and they hate each other
- the flag is a square, not the usual rectangle
- every building is legally obligated to have a bomb shelter
- the country is not in the EU despite being geographically at the center of the EU
- hosted Chaplin when banned from the US
- the lone ranger theme comes from the opera Guillaume Tell which tells the feats of a swiss folklore hero.
- you don't receive swiss nationality by being born there
>>
I doesnt know a shit about your country?

Toblerones? And the fact that you probably have the money stolen from corrupt politicians to their countries.

And incredible landscapes, and the fact that you speak french, german and italian depending on the area of the country. Good clocks.

I'm getting the nationality because my family is Swiss from my father's side. I wont move there, but I'll visit Switzerland every summer to make some spurdospärdö babies in secrecy from my obedient fingol housewife who'll stay home, safe from the icy hands of the mountain jews.

BTW, why don't the Swiss have a rich memeculture? I mean swiss-german is such a silly language, you could do wonders with it.
Phrases like grüetzeli schatzeli and tröpfeli tante are absolute mint

we have no Swisschan, we have to share it with Germans. Also only about 2000000 people speak Swiss german, dividded into dozens of dialects, and it cant be written. Yes you heard that right: Swiss German does not exist in written form. Thats why we use German
That being said our memes would be lightyears ahed of the rest of the world, even funland and benin

What possibilities!
Finnish had no written form before one man created it. Mikael Agricola is now considered a national hero and has his own flag day and statues. His name is all over finnish history.

If he could do it, you can do it too! Imagine the glory of being a creator of a book-language of swiss-german.

Also, no swisschan? There was this one loser called Moot who made 4chan.You could be him for the swiss too

There are Swiss memes but it's mostly videos on YT. And some are spread by a cancerous Facebook page called Swissmeme. It's normie stuff. There's just not enough Swiss on the chans to make top tier memery.

The invasion of you little sisters vagina in the year 2014 A.D. It was an easy victory, the gates were wide open and not a single man lost.

This. US has niggers and Mexicans, we have niggers and yugos. Albanians, Bosnians, Serbs, Croatians form the lowest caste here. They are not allowed good jobs. They are responsible for 90% of crimes.The girls will become cleaning ladies and hookers (prostiution is legal). The boys will become road workers and construction workers.

They are easily recognizable by their square subhuman heads and their names ending on -ic. There is even a popular Swiss joke about this: What's the name of the only Jugo that works? Bostich.
