I lived there a while ago,
I remember mostly, the STASI social security, and the drug dealers that where everywhere in city-centers, mostly Africans, selling it in total impunity, after dusk till dawn. High cost of life and general consumers products, even though VAT is much lower than in EU. Funny thing is that many similar things were cheaper in Poland with 23% VAT, than in Switzerland with 7,6%. Radars and car chasing everywhere, with very high fines. High costs of train tickets.
More positively, there was always a very low unemployment rate, the country is in big part beautiful, landscapes are astonishing, skying, mountain hiking, you can reach all these places in less than an hour, generally, as distances are very low and the transportation infrastructure is very good, for cars or trains/buses - which I liked a lot. The country seemed to be very organized, and people were generally reserved, but very few were rude to me.
I read stats that Switzerland is one of the most immigration country in the world, with an average of 80'000 to 100'000 new immigrants each year, WOW, for such a small country! They are mostly non-European and "refugees", but there is also quite a lot of people from EU, either they work as commuting borderers, or establish there. I'm curious how they manage all this immigration? Do they build everywhere new buildings? If not that much, I'm quite sure that the rentals and the price of real estate have skyrocketed.
Foids were quite reserved and direct at rejecting you, but when I lived there most didn't even put makeups (or very light ones) and didn't wear slut clothes, unlike now in Poland.
How has it changed?
How is life now there?
