| I find it odd that you seem to be claiming that the UK and USA are great places because they have changed so drastically.
Personally I think they are both cess pits and am much more impressed by the way things work in Switzerland, little shops and all. | |

Coming from Canada, I've always found the general direction of the USA as a spiral downwards with Canada always about 5-10 years behind them
as long as one doesnt speak the language... one cant define whats rude and whats not. some (swiss) people might be insecure how to respond in english
and appear rude but its not meant that way...when one is replying in english...still words can be misused, be misunderstood.
i rember a swiss guy in new york trying to tell the parking lot attendand
he should take care of his car like it was dynamite. what the p-lot guy understood was: in my trunk is dynamite. and he called the police.
on court they found out that the swiss guy used the wrong words as his
english was shice. i do understand s-düütsch very well and i am german.
though we are not that welcome here at the moment, i dont find the swiss rude apart from jumping lines...
