Inspired by Maninadirndl's Britain thread.
I am not sure that I could think of one hundred things, but here goes.
MmeLindt Switzerland
- How children are a welcome part of society here and not a burden and a disturbance (in comparison to Germany)
- That I can walk down to the lake in 10 minutes for a swim. It is bloody cold so I don't do it much but I could.
- The infinate variety of cheese
- The farmers' markets where people actually do their weekly shop; The fact that it is normal to spend quite a bit on groceries and buy good quality food.
- The little villages in the mountains
- The fact that in less than an hour we are in Chamonix
- The chocolate
- Shopping in France and the accompanying adrenalin rush when crossing the Border back into Switzerland hoping that the Border Police do not stop me and ask if I have anything to declare.
- That I can drive for an hour and be in a German speaking area. They might understand me, even if I don't understnad them.
- That my children are in a lovely school with only 90 pupils where the teachers are able to hug the pupils without anyone looking strangely at them.
- That my DC are already, after just 8 months, speaking reasonably good French.
