i went to high school in switzerland. and let me tell you what: the scenery and the roads are absolutely beautiful. what's nice about switzerland is that everyone's at least trilingual in one of the following four: french german spanish italian english..... so, the chances of you being able to get around are real easy. the place is also the cleanest i've ever seen. the people that live there are also very kind and the sense of community is excellent. nobody locks anything either, not cars, not houses, nothing. i wish i could go back every now and then if it weren't so damn expensive lol...
