| Who actually still does this? When I was in college, around 20 or so, sure, it was normal. Now, as an adult, with a family and plenty of random yet necessary shit to do, I would be pretty pissed if someone showed up because they "felt like it". Nor would I ever think to visit anyone without making sure it was OK with them first.
Its hard anywhere to make good friends as an adult, I think. Work and existing personal relationships and responsibilities take up so much time that having any left over to establish new friendships is a luxury. Not to mention, would you want to "invest" that limited time in establishing a friendship with someone who's probably going to be leaving the country in a year or two? | |

Hello at first
Well, acctually I agree with you upon not showing up anywhere until you call to your friends and get it confirmed that it will make no trouble for them to welcome you. I feel its normal and polite towards them no matter in which country lets say in Europe
you live...
On the other hand our lives are so busy every day that sometimes to go out and meet friends over coffee just for chitchat is very nice, although we have plenty work at home.
And well, even if Swissies are in many cases quite closed up and reserved... we are still trying to teach our Swiss business partners to relax a bit and enjoy the time spent with us over a glass of good wine and dinner and to look at the world little bit from the point that we do in Czech... friendly surrounding and warm hearted people can melt the ices sooner I believe..
Any comments?
