After living in Switzerland for one year. 3 things I like and 2 I do not. 

watching something without headphones in public transport is unacceptable in general and not only in switzerland.

Yeah, the "swiss glare"... just yesterday I had to do this to a guy in my local Aldi because he took a loaf of bread with his bare hands that he then put back on the shelf. After realizing my stare he instantly had that look of being ashamed in his eyes and knew he had done a crime against humanity. Swiss glare for the win!

We like to call the "Swiss glare" the stare of disapproval and it's one of most Swiss things one can do. I kind of agree that it can be annoying but most of the time the stare of disapproval only occurs if you aren't being considerate of the people around you or being straight up rude. Things like littering or being too loud in public transportation fall under this category as well. We Swiss people don't like to directly confront people and start fights most of the time so the stare of disapproval is perfect for us to subtly show you that you aren't being respectful .

Ai, if the speedlimit is 50, I expect you to drive 54. As you only pay a ticket if you drive 55 or higher 😄

“Pretty much, there’s no reason you can’t go outdoor in switzerland” me, at home on a sunny afternoon in geneva:😟

Yes, we do have a rule for almost every situation but that doesn't mean we follow them. You don't get sued here in Switzerland because you didn't act properly. It's actually quite easy, treat the others like you want to be treated and then you're fine. After a hard day at work you surely don't want to listen to a dumb Netflix serie from the guy across, you might just want to chill on your way home. Our "rules" have to do with respect. The funny thing is we get along with each other perfectly even though we're totally different depending from where you come. As a small country we learned to hold together to be successful. We're a small dot in the middle of the EU and they all want a piece of the pie. But they didn't manage to deal with us "stubborn" Swiss till now 😂🇨🇭

I’m Swiss, but i don’t go around glaring at people. You can’t put all people in the same boat. Sunday is a day of rest, it’s nice when it’s peaceful, maybe Americans need to try that some time, no shops open, no constant noise 24 hours a day. I love it.

Just moved to Switzerland last January. I agree with everything. This country is a paradise for outdoor activities!

Stunning landscapes, incredibly efficient public transport - even to remote places, polite and helpful people. I love living and working here.

Personally I feel very comfortable in Switzerland whenever I go there (mainly by car). Never got a ticket. I guess it is because I was educated with simple rules and basic discipline. The key word is respect. I guess I also hate anarchy and loud people LOL

"you can basically expect people to always be mad at you" sounds like NYC

Im a Swiss/American dual citizen. I've lived in the US and Asia most of my life, only shorter times in Switzerland. I understand a lot of what you say. Even though my temperament fits well in Switzerland, even I get tired of some of the strictness and rules. At the same time, being in a well-ordered place can be relaxing in its own way, I get tired of chaos in the US and SE Asia (where I now live). As for the outdoor activities, I'm a fanatic about that stuff and I dearly miss it where I'm living now.

I have lived in the city center of Bern my whole life and I can attest that all of this is 100% accurate. I hate cars, as I live in the city center, I have never even owned a car. Here you can get from anywhere to anywhere with public transport at any time, comfortably. And I travel all the time (if there is no pandemic) nationally and internationally. I also love to give the "Swiss glare" to anyone who would dream of watching a video without headphones in public transport. The thought of it makes my blood pressure go up already. 😂 In many aspects, we are a bit similar to the Japanese. We have rules and customs for everything, we like it clean, tidy, quiet, polite and punctuality is the key to happiness. However, we lack that one extra tier of politeness, that allows us to give people the "swiss glare" whenever they screw-up, while the Japanese just grin and bear it. BTW: We give each other the glare too, all the time, its not exclusively reserved for foreigners. 😂

I've lived in Switzerland for 25 years, and driving IS demanding. The first year is really tough, but you get used to what speed limit is posted where, you glance reflexively at the speedo about as often as you'd look at the altimeter while flying, and soon the tickets in the mail start arriving with less frequency. Congestion? You avoid it! Public transport will get you ANYwhere, at just about any time, and you can read the paper or stream a movie while you're doing it. Plus, no parking problem! But some things don't get easier. Roads are NARROW. Off the beaten track (and THAT'S where you want to drive!) there's no center line. There's NO shoulder, but a (low) curb, even out in the boonies. All curves are blind -- and don't forget that when a road crests a hill, that's also a curve. Driving in Switzerland trains your reflexes, it trains your instincts and intuition. And did I mention depth perception?

If you listened to anything in a Train in Switzerland without headphones you get the glare and the tutting, yet rarely people say something do they? it's just that dissaproving look. Also common swiss saying is "we don't need a secret police, we have neighbours."

As Swiss, thanks for driving the speed limit. Be on time is important to us 😂✌️

I think if there are always speed limits in switzerland it is because it’s a really small country with really close villages, sorry for that, your swiss friend Paul

Im half American half swiss I currently live in Switzerland and have been living here for about 15 years. I love it here used to hate it but I got used to everything.I just accepted the fact that there’s going to be the Swiss glare everywhere I go. There’s a lot of Karen’s here but also a lot of nice people I love my peace and quiet. Sometimes I just wanna go and move to America but then I remind myself how lucky I am to even be able to live here at all.🇨🇭✌🏻👌🏻

If you watch/listen anything without headphones in public transport you should be put in jail!

Because Switzerland is so small you can't just put in cruise control because there's not long enough roads here. That's also why the speed limit changes so frequently. Just too small country :) About the Swiss glare, you just have to start ignoring it. It's happening to everyone, just try to ignore it, haha

It took me years to perfect my swiss glare. I must use it as much as possible now.

Hilariously funny and sympathetic. As a Swiss I can also take your negative points really well. You are 100% right. Love getting the mirror held up to me like that. Thanks for the hearty laugh I had about myself.

To the thing with listening to your headphones. Say I’m reading a book or had a stressful day. Why would I want to listen to someones video while someone is facetiming (filming everyone around them 🙄) while the third listens to music?

:) As a Swiss guy - I liked your content!

without exception i have only met people who just lasted 5 years here and then went back. everything is fine at the beginning but when you live here it is completely different. usually after 2 years in switzerland you come across some hurdles and realize that it will be very difficult and extremely expensive... the so called "honey-moon-phase" with switzerland last longer but it will hit you ;)

Switzerland is very very densely populated, if you only consider the habitable surfaces. Furthermore there are many tourists and resident foreigners, not to mention the four different cultures of the country. If you consider the very high living standards ask yourself how that is possible to achieve. We have to trust and rely upon others sticking to the written and non written rules of cohabitation and the whole system is based upon a social pact. In order to grow as individuals we have to accept a certain amount of limitations. We would otherwise destroy the very fundament of our existence (landscape, well functioning public services and education,...)

I lived in Basel for 3 years. I loved it. Yes, the glare- what did I do?

I always drive 5 over speed limit. Never had a problem. The frequent changing of the speed limit is annoying, but it makes sense in most cases I'd say.

I’m Swiss living in Australia, to drive in Switzerland is a piece of cake in compare to driving in Sydney. Think it’s also in NYC. And some law in Australia I have come across, makes my head shake. Just one example. My mate forgot to vote, compulsory in Australia, so he got fined. Unluckily he moved house at the time and didn’t receive the fine. So he’s driver license got suspended without him knowing. So he got caught driving without a license and had to face court. Ended up paying around $ 2000 in fine and court cost. That was so weird to me.

I moved from Switzerland to the US, (back in 02) and I will say, I miss it. There's not really anywhere I can go outside, and damn the allergies are killer. Got here from the Perkin's brother's video. Love it!

What you said about not going outside makes sense when you come from a third world country, as a Mexican, we are tired sometimes of the noise, party and people screaming at each other and the extreme lack of respect for anything. Switzerland it's the perfect place to go for all of us quiet living people in the world who were born on such problematic country's. I saw it on another comment but they live as we all should, treat everyone as you would like to be treated, that's it, no strict rules.

Oh lord that part about the speed limit is so true! Another thing I never noticed until my boyfriend drove for the first time here is that people in my neck of the woods (GE and VD) tend to tailgate a lot.

As an American who grew up and lives in Switzerland I can relate all you say here 😆

This video makes me laugh, It reminds me during my first months living in Switzerland, got to pay 200.00 Francs turning into one way street twice without even noticing the the road sign that is very different from where i am used to in Germany.🤔 But I love their strict regulations on how to throw away trash in an environmentally correct manner. They are meticulous when it comes to waste disposal👍

Switzerland the best Country in the World! I‘am italian, but i Love Switzerland.

Switzerland is just amazing for Tourists and old people

5:15 for me personally it’s not breaking the rules that makes me mad, it’s the not caring about our way of living for me. It’s obvious for me to let people off the tram/bus/whatever first before entering myself. It just doesn’t make sense the other way around. And if you don’t get that or just don’t care you’ll get the swiss glare.

Shared 🥳 i like your videos btw, they're really authentic and funny :)

Funny, antime I drive in a US city, I think about how cool and easy it is to drive in Basel, Luzern, or even Zürich compared to anywhere between the SF Airport and "the City", or compared to Sacramento or compared to Seattle or compared to Pittsburgh or compared to Cincinnati - all places I'm pretty familiar with. BTW - in Switzerland, you learn very quickly how to actually USE cruise control. LOL (been living here since 1977)

i live in switzerland and i rarely go outside, i know its such a beautiful country but i just cant get over my problems lol

Hahaha! This is very accurate! I have lived here for 33 years and at the time I came there was a great book available called "Living and Working in Switzerland". It explained many of the habits and rules and do's and don'ts in a clear and often humourous way. Switzerland is one of the most beautiful places on earth and the Swiss want to keep it that way. Driving IS frustrating because they seriously underdimensioned the motorways when they were built. I avoid congestion when commuting by getting up at 04:50 and driving in constantly flowing traffic, arriving at 06:00, leaving at 3:30 PM. Otherwise I would spend at least 50%-100% longer in traffic if I chose regular commuting times. Speed limits: this is so true. It's common to see a "limits off" sign at the end of a village, inviting you to accelerate to 80 km/h - only to round the next corner maybe 400m further and meet another village with a 50 km/h limit. It really feels ridiculous. And it increases fuel consumption, not reducing it. You even see motorway sections reduced to 80 km/h with no noticeable reason (common in cantons Lucerne and Berne). Since getting my sports car and finally passing a German tourist driving 5-10 km/h below the speed limit and for a brief moment exceeding the speed limit for which I got a $2000 fine (yes, you read that right) I am VERY cautious to stick to the limits even more assiduously. Further downsides are it's very hard to make friends as we practice it in UK or USA. It took me a whole year to be invited to someone's home - something which would have happened in the first few weeks in UK. Most Swiss have friends going back to kindergarten or junior school and, as my ex-wife once said, "I have enough friends, why should I meet this person whom I will never see again?" Ouch. Hospitality to strangers (especially business acquaintances) is not big here. All the best, Rob in Switzerland

Yeah, driving in Switzerland is exhausting. I am Swiss, living in Switzerland but I prefer driving in rural areas in Canada or US too. But is kind of logical that in a tiny country are lot of changes in speed limits, lots of signs and so on. In bigger cities in America traffic is similar to Switzerland. That why our public transportation is very good ☺️

Shared! Very funny, great video, will watch more of your videos, good and original content.

Sounds like Switzerland is my kind of place!

Who dares watching a video on public transport without headphones?! xD (really though, pls don't do it)

Interesting points on both sides!

Excellent points!

3:40 If the speed limit is 50, you actually drive 55. :D Depending on the police speedometer, technology and driving speed, there are toleranes you can sutract. At least 5km/h, sometimes up to 7km/h. The fines (in USD) and penalties for speeding are as folowing: *Residental Street (30km/h speed limit):* 16-17 km/h = 441$, report to police, reprimand 18-19 km/h = 662$, criminal record entry, licence for at least 1 month removed 20-24 km/h = 30 daily rates, criminal record entry, licence for at least 3 month removed 25-29 km/h = 50 daily rates, criminal record entry, licence for at least 3 month removed 30-34 km/h = 90 daily rates, criminal record entry, licence for at least 3 month removed 35-39 km/h = 120 daily rates, criminal record entry, licence for at least 3 month removed 40+ km/h = 1 year prison, criminal record entry, car gets irrevocably confiscated, licence for at least 2 years removed, psychological examination *In Town (50 or 60km/h speed limit):* 1-5 km/h = 44$ 6-10 km/h = 132$ 11-15 km/h = 275$ 16-20 km/h = 441$, report to police, reprimand 21-24 km/h = 662$, criminal record entry, licence for at least 1 month removed 25-29 km/h = 20 daily rates, criminal record entry, licence for at least 3 month removed 30-39 km/h = 70 daily rates, criminal record entry, licence for at least 3 month removed 40-49 km/h = 120 daily rates, criminal record entry, licence for at least 3 month removed 50+ km/h = 1 year prison, criminal record entry, car gets irrevocably confiscated, licence for at least 2 years removed, psychological examination *Outside Town (80km/h speed limit):* 1-5 km/h = 44$ 6-10 km/h = 110$ 11-15 km/h = 176$ 16-20 km/h = 264$ 21-25 km/h = 441$, report to police, reprimand 26-29 km/h = 662$, criminal record entry, licence for at least 1 month removed 30-34 km/h = 20 daily rates, criminal record entry, licence for at least 3 month removed 35-39 km/h = 30 daily rates, criminal record entry, licence for at least 3 month removed 40-44 km/h = 60 daily rates, criminal record entry, licence for at least 3 month removed 45-49 km/h = 90 daily rates, criminal record entry, licence for at least 3 month removed 50-59 km/h = 120 daily rates, criminal record entry, licence for at least 3 month removed 60+ km/h = 1 year prison, criminal record entry, car gets irrevocably confiscated, licence for at least 2 years removed, psychological examination *Highway (120km/h speed limit):* 1-5 km/h = 22$ 6-10 km/h = 66$ 11-15 km/h = 132$ 16-20 km/h = 198$ 21-25 km/h = 286$ 26-30 km/h = 441$, report to police, reprimand 31-34 km/h = 662$, criminal record entry, licence for at least 1 month removed 35-39 km/h = 20 daily rates, criminal record entry, licence for at least 3 month removed 40-44 km/h = 30 daily rates, criminal record entry, licence for at least 3 month removed 45-49 km/h = 50 daily rates, criminal record entry, licence for at least 3 month removed 40-54 km/h = 60 daily rates, criminal record entry, licence for at least 3 month removed 55-59 km/h = 70 daily rates, criminal record entry, licence for at least 3 month removed 60-64 km/h = 90 daily rates, criminal record entry, licence for at least 3 month removed 65-79 km/h = 120 daily rates, criminal record entry, licence for at least 3 month removed 80+ km/h = 1 year prison, criminal record entry, car gets irrevocably confiscated, licence for at least 2 years removed, psychological examination If one speeds fast repeatedly, penalties can drastically increase. A daily rate is depending on your net income and other factors, but it is usually about 50% of your net income per day, up to a maximum of 3000$ per day. If you earn 4k net, the daily rate will be about 100$. The fine according to the daily rate can end up with anything from just 300$ to 360k$. The daily rates can be traded with prison time and a relatively small fine.

Discipline and Respect. When in Rome, do as the Romans do. Glad that you like Switzerland overall tho. ^^

Shared😀 . This is most entertaining; can't wait to show it to the kids. I've always wanted to visit Switzerland and now I'll know to make sure to hire a driver!

Great vlog and experience about Switzerland

😂 I guess you mean the Swiss"Bünzli" , do you know this expression? That is how we, the Swiss, name it. I am afraid the older I get, the more I turn to a Bünzli. I just want people to behave "properly" and things to be calm.

That's why I don't have a drivers license (at the age of 26). :P But you really shouldn't watch videos on train without headphones XD Nobody does that and people should know. XD

I did not expect these things but I understand you very much, cool video!

LOL @ driving in Switzerland!! 👀~!! and The Swiss glare!!! 🤣(Scrolls down... ) How can I be the only not laughing and commenting! You're awesome! SUBSCRIBED!

so true!! The swiss glare is so annoying. I cannot get used to it. I try to look at the floor instead of people's faces.

I sometimes met a Swiss glare unexpectedly when I lived in Zurich. My wife usually complained that she was not permitted to clean our room on Sunday.

All very true. I do not live in CH but I have been travelling there regularly for work since 1999. Your point about expenses is well taken. It always amazes me how I can drive up to Germany or into France and pay far less for a meal. As far as driving... yes the speed limit is mercilessly enforced. After 24 years of going there several times a year I have managed to never get a ticket. I thought I did last year when the envelope from the Canton of Bern arrived along with another bill from Avis then I checked the time and place 🙂 I gleefully brought the ticket to my younger coworker whom I had repeatedly warned about the cameras and whom had been driving the car that day. His ticket was 50CHF to Bern and 50CHF to Avis for processing. He was ticketed for going 2 kph over the limit after the 2-3 grace kph. It has gotten far easier in the last couple of years. All the rental cars now have an excellent cruise control system which maintains distance to the traffic ahead and automatically adjusts to the local speed limit. It even slows you down on turns where the 80kph limit would kill you, such as driving into Grindelwald at night. Your point on traffic congestion though is 100% off the mark. I do not know where you are from but I am from Long Island NY and driving in CH is a dream. There is practically nobody on the road unless you enter the mess around Zurich. What you really need to look out for are pedestrians crossing the road. They are all confident that you will stop and in the German speaking regions they rarely even look, just step right off. Any time I am going through the towns I live in fear of someone just turning into a cross walk with no notice in the second I may be distracted.

I'm living in Czech and I can say that we have quite similar things. I hate when someone is listening something in a train and knowing that other people are around and don't even care about it. Sometimes I don't mess up with these people, because of the respectful behavior, but sometimes I yell at them and it works. Especially when you're in a stress and want to work in quiet or whatever. We also have so-called silent train cabs, where people start threatening you whenever you decide to speak out loud. Whispering is sometimes a problem in these carriages, so it's best to send messages even to the person you are sitting next to. Driving in Czech is little bit better as we have the rule to drive 50, but I always drive 60 without any problem. But if a car goes 40 or 45, it lights up my nerves and I'm trying to show the buddy that I don't like it.

When I heard the two bad things you mentioned, I just glared at you! Did you feel it? Greetings from Switzerland :-D

Hilarious! Wasn’t aware of the „glare“! Do we really do that? 😂

I love snow so I’d want to go there for the winters and the views

Great Video. Thanks for talking about 🇨🇭:)

Swiss here: driving really isn't that bad in Switzerland, I don't know what you're talking about 😂 Outside the "bigger" cities there's usually not a lot going on on Swiss roads. And you CAN take the trash out on a Sunday but you shouldn't throw away glass because that's noisy. There are so many legends about Switzerlands rules and most of them are untrue. Like for example that you're not allowed to flush the toilet after 10PM - that's BS 😁 Hope you still enjoy Switzerland!

i am from swizerland and find you perspective interessting, because for me its all normal XD

ahahahah really enjoyed this! giving your a friendly swiss glare 😂😉👍

I most probably will be staying in Switzerland (Lausanne) for a few months for work. Here in the US, unless you live in NYC or Chicago, you need a car. Is this the same for Switzerland as well? Or can I by using the train system?

In a way it's kinda the opposite in America. Switzerland and America to oppositing poles for sure. And as for myself ( and being a foreigner ) i do like how things are here ^_^

Hahahaha! In Switzerland all rules are like the speed limit: it must be done EXACTLY or it has not been done at all. Thank you for making me laugh. Being an American with Swiss family, this rang hilariously true.

Forgot the very punctual and reliable public transit system. Definitely world class!

So, the -ves is driving and stares. Sounds like a great place to live for me.

Having just (finally!!) received my driving license, I can totally agree with you and trust me it bugs me as well...argh so annoying!! I feel like if Americans had our roads and street rules, they wouldn’t be getting their license so quickly and at such a young age😂

I am from Bern, Switzerland and you Monsieur are speaking the truth.

can you explain to us how you even managed to live in switzerland? on what visa? how did you get it?

Always enjoy you video's brother! Hope you are doing well. Shared

The Swiss Train System works because we don’t like Ego Shooters. We care about others two Meter away. We clean our stuff. It does not look like in a US Greyhound Bus where you have first to ask for a Cleaning Team. You can listen Music with ear piece preferred closed one. No the SBB is not an Event hall for Deep Purple, Barclays James Harvest or loud Classic Music.

Well. This video was suggested to me a year later... I feel your pain about people not enjoying this beautiful country. Been here for about 11 years and don't plan to leave anytime soon. My uncle and aunt on the other hand... my oncle lives in Switzerland almost 50 years and my aunt for at least 30 ( they'll soon be leaving for their retirement. Back to Portugal)... they almost know nothing. Besides the roads that lead to the airports of Geneva and Zurich...

I just wandet to thank you for that video. Im a swiss girl and I had to laugh, really ;) The first 3 points were really great and I likedt them too. And the other 2 points, I just cant, that is sooooooo true and I think thats the humor of a person in switzerland. But you brought it on a point😂

The Bug Assault is long gone...but hey,....I'm gonna share anyway!!!! Loved the video!!

im from the woods somewhere 😂

Stores are closing at 7 and closed on Sundays (exept restaurants)!

Very cool video, thanks a lot! I'm a swiss guy and it was really funny to hear, what you think about switzerland 🙂

Accurate ! I am from Minnesota and now living in Switzerland - where are you from in the USA?

Agree with you, I myself also got two heavy fine when I first moved here ( CHF275 for running yellow light in Zürich, the other ticket was CHF375 for driving 55km on a speed limit 50km road). I never speed again, EVER! As an American, I have a hard time understanding those round shape traffic signs especially in the countryside - no car, no bike, no horse, bus-only, the car only, for residents only... etc. I often get confused because the American sign has a big X or big slash on it when it's not allowed, in Switzerland, it's just a sign with a big red circle on the outside and pictures inside the circle, this is the time my American thinking sets in starts to confuse myself(should I or should I not?) and it happens every time, something I never get used to it LOL😆 In 2005, the Swiss passed a law to ensure that all “social animals” (Guinea pigs, goldfish, and budgerigars are cited as examples) ... requires at least two or three(depends on animal type) so they can keep each other company, otherwise, the animal will feel lonely and depressed, which is not healthy for the little pets. This, I fully agree.😆 You are right, in Switzerland, we have many common rules which people follow such as after 10:00 pm is quiet time(no loud music, party, frequently flushing toilets,..etc..or neighbor will call the police on you) these are common problems especially for those living in large apartments complex; Recycle, mowing, or hammering ..etc. are not allowed on Sundays(even trucks do not allow on Swiss roads on Sundays by law, only local dairy and perishable goods trucks are allowed on Sunday); due to fears of polluting local water supplies and the wider environment protection, car wash at home is not allowed; always make an appointment when wish to visit friends or relatives out of respect; you pay dog tax, church tax, radio tax(even you don't have one)... etc., etc... Swiss taxation system can get pretty ridiculous, do you know Swiss homeowners need to pay an additional CHF30,000.00 on the tax because you'd saved that portion of the income without paying yearly rent as most apartment renters? 😆😆... maybe it's just another way to spread the wealth... "The Swiss glare "... After living here for 10 years, I'd acquired it through the years, funny you mention it. "THE look" not necessarily mean dislike, it disapproves certain behaviors(I'll definitely exercise THAT GLARE when a car passing me from the right lane; when tourists pick wildflowers or leaving their trash behind or teasing the cows, or hopping over farmer's fence or climbing on manmade structures to take a photo... OR when our Swiss neighbor came up to me telling us we can't fly my drone over the open fields on Sunday(I don't fly drones from our backyard anymore since😆😆😆😆😆😆) THE GLARE has a lot to do with Swiss mentalities. Not to forget, Switzerland is an old country, there are deeply rooted 730 years cultures, social structure, and traditions. To live happily in Switzerland is to understand and one's willingness to accept a certain culture. We celebrate 4th July every year and we are a bunch of very proud American Swiss! Pat on my back😆

It is just too expensive for a regular family to afford many attractions in Switzerland..

Can you make a video about salaries, taxes and costs of living in Switzerland?

Very interesting - Thanks. Shared as well 😃

I feel very ambiguous about Switzerland. As a German I , if course, have closer ties to the German ( actually Swissgerman speaking ) part, but if Germans are famous for being strict, Swissgermans are three or four times more this way ( generally speaking ). Quite often Swissgermans point out how different they are to Germans and this sort of kills of your attachment so somehow I feel more comfortable in the French and Italian speaking part where people are a bit more laid back. Nevertheless, if I get to the German speaking part again, I somehow identify again with it for a cultural baggage that we have in common. So where shall I stay?

My father had a driving school and I 've driven around half of Europe. Driving in Switzerland is exactly how you described it and it makes me nuts. There has been a couple of times I was thinking something, the road turned to a slight downhill, and suddenly... Flash! in the middle of nowhere, in the grass fields... Well built, but confusing roads, never a straight line, and the use of the specific grey colour of the road material does challenge your depth perception. I remember the first few months I drove in Switzerland I was wandering "where is the road"! The other day I wanted to pull over to enjoy a beautiful sunset. There was no place to just stop the car randomly in the side of the road, and eventually I missed the sunset. Driving in Switzerland is a nightmare.

I just went to a metal festival in Otelfingen, in the woods, abouyt 30 minutes from Zurich. It was awesome!!! Swiss people, are organized, and fun to be around. Maybe I had the "Swiss Glare" for listening to metal (not too loud} in the train, but honestly, I waste no time in that. It was my 3rd time in Switzerland, and I can only say good things about the country!!

🤣 verfy funny, thanks! Greetings from Basel!

Switzerland is the place to be😍😝😝 We are like Americans, very Patriots 😇 🇨🇭🇨🇭🇨🇭🇨🇭❣️

Oh gosh! The Swiss just missed to adjust to the US all embracing universal culture!

what's your feeling on snow removal in Swiss on roads, sidewalks ect?

I am Swiss. So happy that you love our beautiful and welcoming country. As for the rules and that « Swiss glare », what it boils down to is discipline and respect. I believe as a North American you will encounter that « glare » in all European countries that you travel to. Just remember: when in Rome do as the Romans do. Chris

hi there, i loved your video and your honesty. I`m hoping to visit SW very soon so trying to find out all i can and am relieved im not planning to drive, hahaha. From Canada, like you say where driving is kinda relaxing hahaha.

A little bitter bout that ticket eh hahah

Thanks for the promotion😄! You're so right, some things are really annoying here. Life could be so easy here! You forgot the money. Everything is very expensive!

Salt guns - look like a lot of fun!

I don't get it.... why the hell would anyone watch a video without headphones on a train?? ;)
