Switzerland: stuff that happened while I was gone
I was in the US for so long that a lot of changes happened back home in Switzerland. For one, Switzerland lowered immigration restrictions for western Europeans. The Germans are coming! Well, even more of them than there already are.
Migros started carrying a vegetarian version of Zürcher Geschnetzeltes, the local veal and mushroom sauce specialty. Finally, I get to try it, too… oh joy.
What else? Let’s see… the Swiss were voted the 3rd most liked tourists in the world, behind the Japanese, and… what’s this? The AMERICANS. Wow. The Swiss were liked because they are “quiet and considerate”, while the Americans were liked despite their poor dress and loudness.
But the biggest news, of course, is that Zurich now has a Hooters. The Helvetiaplatz restaurant is the second Hooters in the country (Interlaken has had one for a while). Do you think the Swiss go the for wings, too?
