    Switzerland's firearm policies (or lack of to this point, anyways) is how the Founding Fathers intended the US to be. Makes me both elated and yet sad at the same time to see another country with less restrictions than we do.

    Yeah Ive been to Switzerland before, and saw the people walking around with mil rifles slung.



    Try doing that here, and they'll get you for at least disorderly conduct.


    Switzerland was the best country Ive been to in Europe just visiting. The trains were full of people going skiing, hiking, whatever. Seemed like the people there like to be active outdoors. I do, too, but within 100 miles there is maybe 2 state parks you can go "hiking" in and thats more of a light walk than hiking. One thing I don't like about TX is theres hardly any public land to do anything on.

    Just out of curiosity -

    Is learning German a necessity? My German sucks. My girlfriend's dad was teaching me, but I can't understand a lot of what he says and need her to translate.

    What would be the German replacement for ''Spanglish''?

    Gerglish?... That's what he speaks.

    BTW... M4C vacation!

    German is the predominant language but Switzerland is a multi-lingual society with French, Italian and Romanche also being spoken. Virtually everyone speaks English.

    Immigration laws in Switzerland are very, very strict if you're considering going there full time.

    Schweizerdeutsch, or Swiss German, as GermanSynergy said, sounds funny to people who learn Hochdeutsch, or standard German.

    Just about everyone speaks English anyway. Switzerland also has French, Italian, and Romansh as official languages, really depends on whether you're in the northern, eastern, or southern part of the country as to what you'll hear.

    Again, just about everyone can understand English.

    The same could definitely be said of Swiss French. It's positively bizarre.
