I double dare someone to ask the following:
"Can I live on 120Kchf?"
"Where can I get Brown Sugar?"
"When I arrived here I found that Switzerland wasn't at all like my home country, is this considered normal?"

However, it might be interesting to ask them and see the results and compare them with what one can find on EF
Like, why is there a broom and a bucket of water at SBB railway platforms etc. Swiss mystery #6: Brooms at the train station |

Come to think of it, is there a bucket of water. I've never seen one.
(On a platform, that is. Of course I've seen a bucket of water.)

Oddly, I have no unanswered questions about Switzerland at the moment... though I would love to have some things changed.

 | | | | | How does the water stay in that bucket when it's leaning sideways?

Is it true that Switzerland is considering changing the English name of their country to "Swiss"?
