My comment was over the top as the thread itself is worthwhile nomination to Friday Thread.

If safety and comfortable life style is boring to anyone then seriously one needs a reality check in other places less privileged. I am sure that many would gladly exchange places with those who endlessly complain.

This is fun considering the city of Zürich has 32% of foreigners as inhabitants. 1 out of 3 is not from there. Damned auslanders!!!

My local supermarket closes at 9pm. That's late enough for me.

Nightlife every night of the week. I actually prefer weekdays as its less crowded and more relaxed.

I know plenty of fun and open people in Zürich.

People smile, same as anywhere else. Go in smiling and people smile back. Go in grumpy and people grump back.

London/Paris/Amsterdam/Munich: “let’s deport this year’s boring wannabees…”
Zürich: “again, seriously?”

They are also ignorant. (Hey, my lovely Swiss Dad ate with his mouth open), but was still wonderful,, an engineer. Thankfully, the mix of ‚us‘ has helped to dampen that a little

Population of Munich: 1.4 M
Population of Zurich: 0.4 M

Yes, Zurich has suburbs of another half million or so... guess what: Munich even more so.

I think the key to this endless discussion is expectation. Anyone comparing Zurich with London and complaining that a in comparison tiny city has less to offer is frankly speaking a bit stupid. Given its size is the cultural offer over average, mostly because its the larges Swiss city, so many events are happening here. What is still lacking a bit is the gastronomy... Swiss prices and under average offerings as the Swiss customers seem to not know better...

NY is miles better than Zurich, at least there is variety of stuff and it works 24/7. It's noisy, dirty and unliveable but this is okay.

Chicago is way better than Zurich too.

This is why all of us Swiss want to leave it for vacations etc. for destinations like Chicago. It is just so boring and „nice“ here

Pretty much every one of your posts that I see is complaining about Switzerland. Why are you here and why don’t you go to one of the multitude of places you seem to think is better?

Did you gather this impression from the population’s (native and foreign) stubborn refusal to accept your divine wisdom as benign over the many years you’ve laboured against their ignorance – or did it only recently dawn you? Either way, shocking behaviour, I agree.
BTW: eating with your mouth open might well be regarded as a lack of table manners – up to you to provide a direct co-relation with “ignorance”

True, are you on an SUP - wonderful! (wish I could find the confidence to do it)

Have you ever tried eating without opening your mouth?

Pardon, I always get confused when talking about Switzerland, as it spans 3 parts. All above meant to be about German part only.

I love Italian part of Switzerland, and Lugano is great. This is why I'm here

Show me an idiot 2ho goes on holidays to Zurich.

One can pass it or stop over on way to ski resort, but going to the city just to spend time there is insane.

So you think Lugano has more to offer than Zurich?

I've known multiple people who came to see the city. There's all sorts in this world.

Not long ago there was a rant on EF about noisy youngsters partying on Seefeld and leaving a mess behind them. Maybe there's some kind of nightlife.

Oh yeah, weather already separates them by a light year.

Its so great and exciting that you come here daily to stir some shit?

And the fact that you live there.
