I also read the book and thought it was brilliant!

He writes a good blog, reminder to myself I must buy the book!

I am reading the book right now. The amusing light-hearted style which IS enjoyable cannot cover the fact that there must have been a heavy and decent research work behind the book

Will have to look out for it, or borrow it if poss.
Red shoes??? More like red dyed hair- why middle-aged Swiss women think it will make them look younger really baffles me! (and I am Swiss!).

After reading this thread, I made an impulsive move and ordered the book. Hope it will be an interesting read.

Here is the kindle edition link

I bought this book about a month ago but haven't started reading it yet. Sounds like i have something to look forward to!

Hi everyone,

I would just like to share a book that i have just read by a Diccon Bewes, called Swiss Watching (Inside Europe's Landlocked Island).

When i first arrived in Switzerland, the people i thought were relatively cold and unhelpful, now i just see them as shy and reserved. The book (although generally based on his opinion and Swiss History) does give you a good insight into the people, politics and history in quite a humorous way.

I would recommend it to anyone who is now living in Switzerland and those thinking of coming over.

Thanks

Simon

Thanks for this tip - will definitely buy it

Maybe it's me, but I read it and was distinctly underwhelmed.

Probably is me, actually.

I read it and thought it was boring.
