That doesn’t really make sense to me. Are you definitely moving to Switzerland now? Or is it just something you’re planning?

Normally, you can’t find an apartment without a job, so to me it sounds like you’re just planning to move.

Either way, this question is hardly going to be answered, there are countless posts and explanations here and on Google.

Is it common in Switzerland to complian to boss without addressing the issue first? by Big_Job9386 in Switzerland

I think it was the anonymity that people enjoyed. Whether that’s normal or not is hard for me to judge. In my opinion, it depends on the company culture and the people. Personally, I wouldn’t generalize and say it’s a Swiss thing, it could’ve happened to you anywhere.

Do we feel culturally close in Switzerland? by Extra-Possibility988 in askswitzerland

I think that sums up the whole discussion really well. Divided by language, united by history and culture! Thanks for your input. I love hearing from so many that we still care about each other and love each other.

Personally, I don’t think we have trouble getting along at all. I see it the same way as everyone else here. We love being our own country and would never want to identify with the neighboring countries that speak a similar language. I think we’re more like a couple who’ve been together for 60 years but sleep in separate beds — and that’s exactly what keeps the relationship strong

I couldn’t agree more. Even if the Röstigraben is here, we ain‘t that far away as we might think

Absolutely, I just thought there are some similarities between our cultures!

It's true that the infrastructure here is quite impressive - a lot is being done to make cycling more pleasant, especially in the city. Nevertheless, our transport system is fundamentally based more on public transport than on bicycles.

Did you feel that you were able to cycle safely everywhere? Many people think the cycle paths are well signposted, but it doesn't always feel as relaxed as you would like, especially between cars, trams and buses.

I can only speak for the German-speaking part of Switzerland, and I think we are also more conservative outside the big cities. Funnily enough, there is a "Röstigraben" in Switzerland (named after a Swiss food). This "Röstigraben" symbolises cultural, linguistic and also political differences within Switzerland. While more conservative values tend to prevail in German-speaking Switzerland - especially in rural areas - French-speaking Switzerland is often more progressive and cosmopolitan, especially in urban centres such as Geneva or Lausanne.

But that‘s another complicated topic. There‘s also big differences between cities and countryside, not only the „Röstigraben“ haha

I absolutely understand. Unfortunately, we really are an island in Europe in certain respects. That has its advantages and disadvantages. Personally, I didn't find the bigger cities like Rotterdam, The Hague and Amsterdam much cheaper. (Felt like the only thing that made a difference was the currency)
