beyond chocolate

I am glad to see a forum like this, people can say whatever they feel and think. Even more than glad to see so many fellowmen are aound.

It must be somehow true if so many foreigners having the same opinion - Switzerland is boring. I wonder whether a country change people first, or people change the country first. After staying in Switzerland for 5 years, I realize more and more that I am getting boring too. Although I was not at all like that before and also thought to try my best to make a happy and interesting life here. But it is almost impossible, at least for me. The slowness of those walking people on the street make me walk slowly; the ugly dressing of the people make me feel no any desire to dress up nicely; the so-called democracy make me lost my determination; the darkness on the street make me not much excitement for outgoing; the invisible distance between people make no easiness to keep friendship...

I don't like to admit that my life is not enjoyable here. But I really want to shut it out: THERE ARE MUCH NICE PLACE TO LIVE ON EARTH THAN SWITZERLAND! Especially to those who once had different life else where. Of course those Swiss who have never lived outside for a year, they won't understand it and they don't want to understand maybe.

I agree that there are many good things about Switzerland. I know if you don't appreciate a country you live in, you can't enjoy yourself there. However, there are many things much more important in life than chocolate, landscape, health insurance, public transportation, high salary, etc.

I am sure those who agree with me will easily understand what those things are...
