Re: 9 months in Switzerland - a honest report.
Hi JohltaVontra
As a 100% Swiss I have to say that your honest report is just great! It shows that you have a good sense of humor and obviousely are able to spark a discussion. Of course one could argue that your report is a bit superficial too, but definitely not boring;-)
But it is also true, that I feel sorry for you that you feel not welcomed. But I am sure with so much to tell about Swiss people I could talk to you certainly longer than 1-2 minutes;-) Basically we Swiss are very happy to use our English which is sometimes a bit stiff but we are always willing to show off a bit what we have learnt in school. In this regard, I vively could imagine that even our as you call it 'arrogant' women would give you a chance to enchant them with your near flawless English.
Give us another chance, please, please to prove that we can party too. Honestly we are not boring nor superficial. I strongly suspect that you just visited the wrong places or spoke to people (mayb not even Swiss) who were a bit overwhelmed of your approaching.
Maybe we don't meet such interesting poeple like you everyday so it might need a bit more time to break the ice. But I am sure with your positive attidude you will find somebody you can talk to. Good luck.
Best,
Welcome
