ABOUT THE BLOG

Living in Switzerland

All Swiss can yodel, they live in picturesque chalets and are proud owners of a cuckoo clock or two. The Swiss are rich and not too keen on foreigners. They are very orderly, and always obey the rules. There are no criminals in Switzerland…

The list of myths and prejudices about Switzerland is never-ending. This blog is an attempt to describe what Switzerland is really like – in all its many different facets. swissinfo contributors will write about issues such as the influence of English on Swiss languages, the much-debated school system, the world of work, as well as customs and attitudes that are typically Swiss.

You are invited to have your say on our blog articles, to share your experiences and anecdotes about life in Switzerland.
