    As a former college wrestler (at Cornell) you should definitely try swiss national sport "Schwingen". You would even fit great in their dresses.

    3:04 thats the horn of the Postauto, the yellow busses. It's used to warn drivers on small and curvy roads where you might not see it when driving in the opposite direction as the bus.

    My son lives in Switserland right now. He is a fysiotherapist from the Netherlands and found a lucrative job there. To Swiss standards the pay is not so extreme, but compared to the Netherlands it is, he earns about double compared to my income (and I work over 30 years as a nurse). He wanted the adventure and also the opporunity to save some money, so it is working out well. I have been visiting him several times in the past year and I am very impressed by the beauty of this country. He lives close to Luzerne, so I have been there several times and we went to several mountains.

    As an American who has lived in Switzerland twice I totally get the sense of awe at how nice it is. Treasure the experience, appreciate the Swiss life. I was fortunate to learn both German and Swiss German simultaneously the 1st time I lived there. I'm really happy for you guys!

    The horn you had in the background at 3:00, where you asked what it is: Thats a special horn from the "Postautos" (The yellow buses) that they have in addition to the normal horn. It was used to signal arrival at a stop and sometimes additional information like number of horses (when it still were carriages). Today it's just a nostalgia thing and drivers use it very rarely

    • @shinai8192
      @shinai8192 Рік тому +8

      In the mountains where the roads are so narrow that one car has to wait for the other to pass the special horn is used to alert that a huge yellow bus is coming so you have enough time to find space to let it pass.

    One place you absolutely must visit is Canton Ticino. I was born and raised there and it's fantastic. It is one of the two cantons where Italian is spoken and it is a mix of two cultures: Italian and German. If you are interested I could give you a tour!

I trust you to go exploring and feel what it has to offer....some kind of deeply human sense of security in the timelessness of nature! Like a feeling of smallness that brings strength, resiliency and perspective. Also, don't forget to sample the gold, after you have tasted all the chocolate :) Great to see you back! Thank you!

    Lucerne basically is "the" tourist destination. I think there's more tourists than locals around there 😂 Come to Zurich for a bit when you get the chance. Or check out the Aare river in Bern on a hot day and swim in the river, it's an adventure (weekends is best, most people go then). You can walk upstream and then jump into the water and float down all the way until the city center. Another really cool thing is to head to Thun, rent a gummi-boat there and float down the Aare river for 3 hours until you reach Bern city where you can easily get out and return the gummi boat. Amazing weekend chill day on the river. Or come on a hike with me to Grindelwald/First ware, very impressive scenery there. 👌

    swiss people are working while all those asian people come to visit the country :D Lucerne is one of the most visited cities for them, they stop by on their way up to the jungfraujoch usually. oh and btw: there isn't just THE swiss german, every Kanton (state) has its own dialect. You should visit Bern, walk all the way up the "berner münster", search all the fountains around the city, visit the "bärengraben", hike up the "Gurten" and go for a swim in the "Marzili-Bad" :D Enjoy your stay!

    25% of the people living in Switzerland are foreigners, from the remaining 33% have a migrant background.
    Swiss people tend not to be as direct as Germans, if they don't like something they will just look at you. For example you are talking to each-other in a train but you are a little bit too loud (normal voice is considered too loud), people will maybe tell their neighbour in a louder than normal voice how noisy some people are when they talk, without addressing you, That's your cue though. So it's veery subtle XD

    However: This video suffers of the disease of many youtube videos: superfluous and annoying background music. It's tiring attending to the narration over the background music, masking the topic of the video and mostly adding nothing to the content. Narration or music is fine but one on top of the other is distracting.

    I was born and lived in Luzern for 34 years, but moved near Brunnen, because as you said; too many tourists. I was really happy during the pandemic, having "my town" all for myself and after the tourists came back, I realised how miserable this made me. So I moved to a little bit more "countryside" place half an our away and love it here. So yeah...that's where swiss people at. 😂
