We already have 25% foreigners. Is it still Switzerland when we hit 50% +1?

Nope, although I look half Asian.

Because the average Swiss citizen lives in a small town of about 100 people and the only fun is to go hiking or get drafted in the army.

Beautiful country to visit, but spending my whole life in Switzerland sounds horrible. Once you've seen all the nature, there is nothing fun to do as a 20 something year old

It is, we're actually full as hell because a lot of our land isn't actually habitable (mountains and shit), but we have many cities + shit you can do, true that our cities aren't New York or LA but in terms of size and entertainment it's as big as any big city in Europe.

The only places that have like 1000 people or so are in the middle of the mountain.

>>60119207
I would love to go there someday and I think Romansch is a beautiful language, I wish to learn it someday. What languages do you speak?
>>
>>60119316
Our main languages are French, German and Italian.
Basically every swiss person speaks English or at least can communicate in some manner or form.

I'm Portuguese though, but I've liven here for many years, I speak German, French, Portuguese, Spanish and English.

That's a lot of languages to know. I used to talk to a Swiss who could speak like 3 different languages.
>>
>>60119763
Oh, he probably knew 2 of the main ones plus English.
People are really nice here, the only unfriendly people here are people from Eastern Europe, India and a couple more from those places...

I highly recommend coming here for a trip, it's great and relaxing.
>>
>>60119871
Yeah he knew Italian, German and English. He was learning Japanese too, it was really cool. Do you guys just learn that in school or by yourselves? What do you look like, are you darker skinned or lighter?
>>
>>60120311
Depending where you live here in Switzerland, you can choose to learn either Italian, German, French or English.

If you want to learn more you go to more classes yourself.

Fun fact, in the army we speak all languages to give positions and coordinates for rockets and shit.

We have an exercise where each group has 5 people positioned behind each other, the first person receives the coordinates from the Sergeant, he then gives the coordinates in French to the 2nd guy, the 2nd then gives the same coordinates in Italian to the 3rd, then the 3rd to the 4th in German, then the 4th to the 5th in English in order to fire a canon.

And this happens live, so if you fuck up you could literally fire a canon to where you're not supposed to, no houses or anything on the way of course.

My skin is like Cristiano Ronaldo, just a bit lighter.
>>
>>60120606
Oh cool, are you in the army? Don't all men go into military training eventually? That's a nice skin tone, so I'm guessing you're mixed then? Are Portuguese common there?
>>
>>60117470
my town has at least 200 people you fucking faggot
>>
>>60120961
What town are you?
>>
>>60120922
Nah, I'm pure Portuguese, our family tree goes back 300 years, everyone was Portuguese except for a French Woman the grandfather of my grandfather had.

Not in the army anymore, but I get called once in a while to teach newcomers there, standard procedure here.

And yes, everyone gets drafted to train, except you have some condition that lets you skip it.

There are a lot of Portuguese people here in Switzerland, I would say that we are in the Top 3 of most common Nationality here in Switzerland, behind germans.
Luxemburg has it even worse, if I'm not mistaken over 30% of their population is Portuguese.

There's a Swiss regular at my job who looks just like this

Sweet Jesus her accent is cute

I lived in Austria, Switzerland and Liechtenstein on and off for years.

Switzerland was my least favourite. I made some great friends there, but I didn't like the culture (or the lack of it, in many cases) and the cities were horrible. Geneva, Zurich and Bern are simply not nice places. The smaller towns are the same: lots of concrete and graffiti. The laws are bizarre, to put it bluntly, and I didn't think much of the food. Beautiful countryside, but Austria has that too and everything else. Switzerland is boring, incredibly so, but the main thing that's wrong with it is how sinister it can be.

The only country I have been to in the world that has left me with a similar feeling to Switzerland was Belgium.
>>
because it has no fucking sea.
a country without sea is basically a non country
>>
>>60126448
>but the main thing that's wrong with it is how sinister it can be.
Can you elaborate? Give stories please?
>>
>>60126423

It's more of a general thing, life is tame here ? No noise at night (strictly verboten), less rowdy bands of students in the streets, the people I meet are generally well educated and reasonable, insurances for all things, administration works admirably well and I can't legitimately complain, and so on. But the country is magnificient, the weather is nice, good jobs, so on. I like it.

Switzerland belongs to Germany.

They are literally Mountain jews cosplaying as French people, what the fuck

Yeah, I see what you mean, even though I'm not that sensitive to this.
>>
well after you have your share of mountains and hiking for 2 weeks i can imagine there is nothing to do in switzerland than rot in hell
would literally rather live in Italy and face chaos than do nothing in switzerland
>>
Why is it boring, My view so far was that Switzerland is one of the greatest nations, no joke.
>>
>>60126562
Because they are void of a unifying culture for the most part, everything they do feels as if they're doing it out of grinding, awkward necessity.

In Austria, particularly in the rural areas, people do things because they have always done them that way and they feel it's the best way of doing it. In Switzerland, people do things because it's the rules and the rules are to be followed.

They never do anything spontaneously or with enthusiasm. It's just measured, cold and often awkward. This means that any sort of interaction you have feels unpleasant.
>>
>>60126995
>In Switzerland, people do things because it's the rules and the rules are to be followed.

Sounds very dystopian. Are there major differences between the French-German-Italian parts?
>>
>>60126620
That's amazing, I think Swizerland would be so peaceful. Is it considered ok to talk to random people you meet? How friendly are people to strangers?

The Swiss arent an ethnic group now are they? Must be easier to handle immigrants when the "Swissness" is mostly about citizenship..
>>
>>60132644

Not really.
>>
>>60132644
No, there are multipul ethnic groups in Swiverland. The main ones are Swiss German, Swiss Italian, Swiss French, and Romansch. The rest are immigrants, it's easy to immigrate there.
