Going to the Hairdresser:
DK: "I'd like it short in the sides, ears free, and just trim the top"
"Sure, No Problem"
UK: "I'd like it".... *BZZZZZZZZZZZ*...."uhm... shaved off to 2 mm. please"
"7 Quid, Mate"
CH: "Welcome Sir, My name is Melanie *shakes hand*, Can I bring you a cup of coffee, and how would you like your haircut ?"
"I'd like it short in the sides, ears free, and just trim the top"
After the Haircut: "Do you want me to wash your Hair again sir ?"
UK/DK: Buy your ticket at the bus driver. If you have a subscription, show it to the driver, when you board the bus
CH: Get into the Bus. Ticket purchased previously, or subscription
and the Busdriver says "Adé mit einand'r" when you get off
