expat all the way

• Sure, I see why people here say it takes an awful long time to crack a boring Swiss egg. I say just don't bother. The expat groups are thriving for a reason, at least in Geneva. So I suggest you find a good group then it's fun like you've had elsewhere. I was warned and I think I spared myself loads of grief because I never tried to integrate. If locals are humourless, at least the country runs like clockwork, the landscapes are beautiful, and lots of us are paid better here than at "home". You know, we are seen as just guests to most Swiss. I'm surprised no one mentioned the "black sheep" posters from the SVP political party. Just google that. At least 1 in 4 Swiss actually voted for this party, makes you really wonder...Just stick with the international crowd and steer clear of conservative Swiss nonsense.
