我的瑞士朋友說瑞士人 - 文化差異

怎麼看一看都是瑞士人在說自己好呢? :p
不過坦白說我認識的瑞士人真的都還蠻不錯又友善的
可能和他們的國家教育環境出來有關 包容性較強
我可以再加一條最近我瑞士同學和我抱怨的話
You, as a German Swiss, find a discounted hair-dryer which is absolutely
much cheaper than that in the Switzerland on the German e-bay website,
and would like it to be delivered across the boarder from Germany to
Switzerland. But you immediately realize that although the delivery
center is just located near the border, it is still not possible and you
still need to pay more to buy a hair-dryer in Switzerland because
you are not an EU MEMBER!
