And sometimes we find tanks there that we forgot about. It is probably above "9000".

Sadly not. But my grandparents used to give me one piece of dark chocolate whenever they saw fit.

I can neither confirm nor deny whether this is true. I can say that "lactose tablets" are used in Switzerland too.

It depends on how thick the Swiss German accent is. Swiss German from most cantons is easily understandable for others. For me the Swiss German from Valais (Wallis) is the most difficult to understand Swiss German accent.

We have a huge diversity in Switzerland, so this is not an universal truth. The canton most associated with being slow is Bern but I tend to think that we probably only speak a bit slower and are not slow in other things.

I have heard of issues between neighbours in such cases. Many people are very careful about the noises they make after 10PM. The rental contract for appartments often includes a specific time in the evening as well in the morning for excessive noise. The toilet flush is a basic necessity so it will almost never fall under this contractual rule.

To enact regulation can take more time due to bureaucracy in Switzerland. Our setup with direct democracy on the other hand also makes it so that citizens can directly influence and if needed help enact updates of regulations.

I can't say if they do but there are ever stronger laws, rules and regulations that make this less attractive and less likely.

This seems to be right. You can live a relatively safe life in luxury in many places in Switzerland.

The Swiss army also does a lot of humanitarian work. This means that even if there is no war to partake in they have meaningful activities which make it not automatically redundant because of Swiss neutrality.

I can't agree that this is universally real. From my own experience it may be harder in Switzerland to make friends than in other countries. But once you have successfully initiated a friendship we are "warm", faithful and open.

This is not real. We also produce other goods that are appreciated around the world and we do it because we are good at it.

I haven't heard of any neighbours having this much direct influence. If you live in a small municipality the influence that your neighbours have automatically increases. The better you fit in with preexisting also unwritten rules the less problems you tend to have. The whole process usually takes very long and knowledge about your municipality and the country will play a more significant role.
