It is just an experience in our lives

• At last. Someone Swiss who is not blind to, or forgiving of, their country's hollow spine. Thanks, AnotherSwiss.
  
  And to the pro-Swiss above, yes, there are mountains - but so there are just as fine in Austria; yes, there are cities and clubs to hang out in - but face it, bland and mundane, not inspirational, forward-thinking or progressive; yes, no crime and clean - so is N. Korea. In other words, you can replace every single aspect of Swiss life with that of another place - with more character, personality and colour, fun, freedom and friendliness. By doing that, what else is here. Apart from Swiss prejudice and superiority.
  
  Pro-Swissies tend to be bought by the sanitised system; have a pretty bland character; don't wish to make a real difference with their life except the daily trough 8-4pm then spend the earned income; prefer blindness rather than the sight of living; And what idiocy! To not question your life and that of your nation. To give your money away to banks and insurance companies all your life via renting apartments. To agree to guns in houses where every single day, a Swiss person ends their life through despair (not found in any newspaper, of course).
  
  And why are foreigners here? Before your bigoted judgement prevails, ask why. Find out about your neighbour or colleague. Maybe they have no choice but to be here. And you know, pro-Swissies out there, us foreigners are away from home, our culture, our language, our families and friends, so maybe put yourselves, for once, in another's shoes and have some compassion for someone who is just a human being trying to move forward in their lives. But, I'm sure this won't happen. Swiss are cold and uncaring and unkind to their own people, why would they change behaviour for the rest of humankind.
