How do foreigners get along with the Swiss? What about Swiss humour? Are Swiss always punctual? Was Switzerland always so clean? Have you got a Swiss mother-in-law? Do you want to make your Swiss neighbours smile? This text considers these questions by citing 50 personal experiences about living in Switzerland by authors from nine other nationalities. The stories are a mix of social commentary, warm admiration tempered by criticism and observations of national or local character traits. Most of the stories consider what it is like for a non-Swiss to live in Switzerland.
