I am a simple lady. Stay with my husband and two children at a two room apartment in Brisbane. I have never been out of Australia. Like most young lady I also have a dream to visit Switzerland at least once in my life. This is because I had heard so much about the scenic beauty of Switzerland. So far I have been successful in visiting there in internet. But I will definitely go there one day. So if any of you could share your travel stories of Switzerland with me, I ,might make out something regarding that place.

Hello Sophia,

There is so much to do in Switzerland as a tourist it would be hard to describe.

Most of my favourite memories of Switzerland was spending time with good friends enjoying the wine and food.

you're in Australia? But you have an Indian IP address.

You're not going to move to Switzerland are you?

Also, that paragraph was definitely not written by a native English speaker.

Like from someone who has never been outside of Australia? Mind you, I have heard Australians who were very difficult to understand.

yer we orll tork liek dis!

Yeah, totally, but that usually isn't conveyed in their writing. I proofread manuscripts all the time from my co-workers other labs etc. I've become super proficient at spotting typical non-native speaker written mistakes.

IP address city: Calcutta
ISP: Videsh Sanchar Nigam Ltd

now no matter how crap the system I used to get this information might be, it's how many thousand kms from Calcutta to Brisbane?

Lob Rockster ... the truth revealed ....

And English is not your mother tongue is it...

Who cares.... lady asked about CH, so either tell her or not. Whether she is actually Aussie or not makes not the slightest different, it's not like this forum is the CIA or the likes is it?

Right, so why lie about where you live or what you do? Just as easy to say I live in India and will most likely never make it to Switzerland please tell me about it.

The issue is that this forum is not a breeding ground for deluded virtualites.

its not ??
Feck ....

Same point... who cares what the reasons are. Question asked = question answered OR just ignore the post...... but don't immediately go on the attack, it gives a bad impression and tells others who visit this site that (i) we can check out your IP address (ii) we are more interested in why you may not tell the whole truth and don't care about your post.

you've never had to deal with forum spam have you? Deluded ming_types talking in the 3rd person about themselves? General trouble-makers?

Thought not.

actually if she was truthful then I would not give her game away. I'm all for little white lies to protect privacy but when it comes to making work for me for which I volunteer, you'll find I am a different beast.

Thought it was simple, ignore the post and the troubled egos are not fed.... they'll move on and find another site.... or is this too simplistic of me?

Polorise, your avatar is soo spot on for your comment!

Polorise is trouble. Don't feed the animals!
