Livid!!!

When you avoid driving to shop at Migros because Coop is 4 min closer

The prices in Laderach no longer shock you.

jeden Tag, jeden Taaaaaag

Always get your appointments at the beginning of the day, the accumulated delay is far less than in the late afternoon

...Swiss eggs prices are cheaper than US egg prices!

No, that usually means travelling in Rush hour. Mid morning 09h30-11h00 much better. And I can sleep longer.

.. you have friends, coworkers and even family members that you speak multiple languages with, depending on the situation.

Tom

.... you stop your guests from taking their shoes off but you're dying a little inside.

Do they really have windows that actually can open these days?

...your stacks of papers are perfect.

And I’m sure that this thread will provide a lot of fun and / or serious, deep thought and soul searching to all of us. Or maybe not

They changed the schedule here to allow a few more minutes to and from Bern. Still averaging 3-9 minutes late.

When in the pub, you stop looking up the exchange rate of £ to chf and calculating what the pint would cost back home.

(£7.96 in my case &#129303

As the nearest thing to home for me is London and I don't live in Zürich, the answer is pretty much the same. Perhaps a little less here

You know you've been on this forum too long when you remember a thread from 2006 with the same subject!

You’re driving a car abroad and stop for everyone crossing a zebra.

Well in my case, I have been here too long because the country of my youth no longer exists!

- They changed the currency
- They did a complete 180 degrees on stuff like abortion, divorce and gay marriage etc and actually voted very resoundingly for it
- The structure of society changed completely in racial and ethnical terms
- Polish replaced the native language as the second most widely spoken language
- It is actually easier to speak to some people in German than English
- They became one of the wealthiest countries in the world

Not that the old country hand much to recommend it, fair play to them, but for me there is no place to go back to.
