The Bitter Truth.

Guys, if you plan to come to Switzerland hoping to make some friends easily, forget it. Its been 2 and half years already that I came to CH and it surprises me sometimes to check the friends on my cell and i can hardly find "ONE" to hang out with on the free days.

I suppose someone has already mentioned above that indeed the people here have childhood friends who they meet from time to time. So, it takes a whole lot of a time to have some friends in CH.

My friends think it would be no problem for me to have friends as they think that i am quite open to everyone. But, the truth is that, I am, myself, in a delimna. I mean you cant just go out and talk to someone for no reason. Believe me, it would look like they are being nice to you but at the same time they are constantly trying to figure out what you want from them. Sometimes, people would look at you strangely or perhaps ignore you if you try to talk without a purpose.

This doesnt mean that if you need to know the way, stations or something else, they woulnt help you. If they know, they would help you with the best possible answers. However, this land has been cursed for the foreigners because of the integration and language. Even some swiss who has lived abroad find it a bit diffcult to cope with.

So, my dear friends, if you think you made some friends just because they talked nicely to you and shared their numbers, STOP DREAMING ! As far as i remember, i got numerous numbers esp. ladies, whom i tried to contact and i was responded with either I HAVE AN APPOINTMENT, I AM TIRED SORRY, CALL ME TOMORROW, etc

So, guys, chill out. Its always good to make friends from your homeland, or some other countries like Spain, Australia, UK, USA, etc.

OOPS. I am not from one of the above mentioned. I come from Nepal. And my name is Nima. [email removed] is my email address if you guys plan to email me.

Peace out.
