From Malta to Switzerland?! You gonna find quite a big difference in attitudes ... methinks.

I had an interesting discussion last evening, with a Swissy male friend. We were in a pub, nice music playing .... and I noted that the Swiss do not move a muscle to music ... they just talk and drink. I asked my friend why the Swiss do not seem to enjoy dancing? This has been puzzling me for quite a few years - watching this passive display of "pub behaviour".

His explanation was that Swiss men consider dancing as foreplay to sex ....!!!!!! OMG! was my reaction - OH NO! Surely not! Do they not ever feel like just moving to music? My friend re-assured me that it realy is true ..... Dancing is a form of Eroticism here in the Cold Climates of the North!

I have also seen, that they seem to enjoy, and pack the pub out, when a "Table Dancer" is hired for entertainment - So possibly this bears witness to my friends statement about dancing?

He also agreed, that yes, people from the warmer climates are more spontaneous and move freely to the beat of music.

Anyway, as some form of comfort - maybe in the cities life is more exciting and people not so inhibited by cultural restraints? ... Perhaps the mixture of foreigners there, adds some verve to the night-life?!
