You know you've been living in Switzerland too long when...





you think, spontaneity is ok, as long as its planned

you actually get interested in local elections

you get annoyed when the car ahead does not turn off the motor at the traffic light

you think its OK to drive slow on Sundays

you dress up to go grocery shopping

you feel as if you're broke if you have less than 300 CHF in your pocket

you think its OK for a chinese restaurant to be run by Swiss and staffed by Spaniards and Portugese

your German in better than the waiter's

you decline an invitation to go out because you have to clean your apartment or car

you throw a party and expect everyone to leave at 11:30 pm

you feel hungry by 12:00 noon

you plan your life around the tram and train schedules

you realise the subversive implications of doing something just for fun!!

you buy a new TV when the old one doesnt match the new furniture

you become concerned about the colour of your neighbour's curtains

you wake up one morning with blinders on

YOU BECOME OFFENDED WHEN READING THIS!!!

ahaa! you will my guru. switzerland is my dream destination (and is likely to stay my dream destination for awhile). but maybe i could ask you questions about life once in a while (or you could post something like this once in a while!).

Thanks for visiting. Feel free to ask away. Will post something occasionally, I guess. I already have some related to schools and some on destinations here..
