Re: Cultural differences between Switzerland and your own country
UK - Christmas Eve - one of the busiest nights out of the year

CH - Have to trudge round the red light area to find an open bar


UK - Offer to buy the barmaid/barman a dring and they have a small beer or maybe an alcopop then leave you alone.

CH - Offer to buy the barmaid a drink (not so many barmen) and they want Champagne and insist on toasting with you and making forced smalltalk.
