I left Switzerland a little time ago, but I still keep and I'll keep it all my life long the best memories of this unforgettable and great experience.
Here just some recollections that I would like to share.
First of all, I would like to say that there are two things that struck me in Switzerland. One is that when you travel in Switzerland, it seems to you that you're travelling in 3 differents countries. Each part of Switzerland - the french one, the german one and the italian one - is totally different and the culture in each part is more the culture of France/Germany/Italy. And it's just incredible how this country still exists without any trouble between cultures... What a great example of tolerance..!
And the second staggering thing was for me a crazy number of foreigners and languages they speak. Here they have already 4 national languages, but (!) when you' re just walking on Leman embankment, you can hear at least 20 others languages per one hour! I an serious! I've never seen a such variety of languages and cultures in the same place!
And what's the most unimaginable that is how this coutry is peaceful with all these people there together... For me, on this level, Switzerland is the best counry in the world because you can easily bring your culture and be in the harmony with people around which have their own cultures...
But let's talk about more touristic things there.
Despite unbelievably high prices I have a chance and I visited marvelous places of Switzerland. Here they are:
Bern
Neuchâtel
Vevey
Chillon Castle
Montreux
Geneve
Lavaux
(Just typical swiss landscape)
Broc - Cailler Chocolate Factory
Gruyere
Fribourg
Basel
St Gallen
Steinamrhein
Rheinfall
Zurich
Einsiedeln
My favorite city - Luzern
Morat
Bellinzona
Lugano
Locarno
Boat to Evian (France)
Evian (France)
And my second favorite place in Switherlans - Interlaken with its fabulous views
Thun
(And one more typical swiss lanscape)
All these places are really magnificent, but the most cosy and intimate was Lausanne where I have been living during my 4 months. There the atmosphere is special - it's incredibly calm, harmonic and peaceful city, but it's so nice. Just look :
And, of course, I passed a lot of very nice evenings and I did some hearty parties with my new friends from all over the world. But as well this experience allowed me to know and become friends with many great persons:
Thus, I can just say that it was great! I'll never forget this period of my life. And I'm so happy to have had this opportunity to discover something new...
P.S. If someone read until the end, I am very thankful, but SORRY for my English :D
