Interesting post

I alway love to hear other peoples reflections regarding Sweden, specially since you're Swiss it'll help me understand more about Switzerland
People in general are pretty easy going, no complications, no wasting energy on unimportant formalities. This is sometimes good, and sometimes bad.
Since I'm born and raised in Stockholm walking next to the water during a summer night is probably hard to replace

But I know CH also has some amazing nature and mountains! Once I was in Thun, we were sitting by the Thunersee - 30+ degrees with the Swiss alps in the background, clear blue water with swans...it was so calming! It was snowing like crazy in Stockholm during that period, so when I came to Thun I only had winter clothes as I thought the weather was the same as in Sweden
Eating fresh seafood every day is not something people really do, @all swedes here - any other comments?
People are allowed to have their own style, but in my opinion this is abused and can sometimes be somewhat irritating...
Sweden has a lot of Swiss brands of chocolate so you won't be disappointed
Being direct is something Swedes in general are pretty bad at, a yes/no is never what it seems...
Well then I'll take Swiss on my trip to Svizzera
Thanks for a good post!

| I am Swiss and if I could exchange with you I'd look forward to going to Sweden mainly because:
- I experienced that (almost) everything runs smoothly there and that
- people are more laid back, but still precise
- the proximity to the sea and awesome archipelagos
- the possibility to eat fresh seafood everyday
- the possibility to just have your own style and not beeing judged by that to quote a few.
What I could miss from Switzerland:
- The mountains
- The possibility to drink a glass (or 2!) of a very good wine without ruining myself when eating in a restaurant (yes still expensive in CH but not so much than my experience in the nordic countries in general)
- The possibility to buy wine whenever I want and at many places
- Maybe another way of directness in debates
- Chocolate (yes! I'm an addict).
Now I hope you'll fly with Swiss, because Swissair won't bring you here anymore .
