I lived in Switzerland for about 30 years and some of my experiences in Switzerland were positive. There are beautiful mountains and some very quant villages in the country.

The problem with the Swiss is that they project a 'Heidi' image to the world, but behind the scenes, they have done many misdeeds both now and in the past. All the following are true about the Swiss:

1) They collected gold from the dead Jews that were gassed in the Nazi Concentration camps

2) They produced weapons for the Nazis in a town call "Schafhausen" which the Americans actually bombed during World War II.

3) Another interesting story about them is that Tina Turner once went into a boutique, and she wasn't recognized by the staff. She asked to see a handbag that she was interested in, and the employee said "I'm sorry, I don't think you could afford that!". The funny thing about that story is that Tina Turner could have easily afforded to buy that boutique as well as many others!

4) I've experienced Swiss that lived next door to each other, that when one of them bought a Porsche, the other one went out bought a Ferrari. This is the kind of sick behavior that is typical of the Swiss!

I spoke with a real estate agent in Switzerland that told me that with twenty years that the entire country would be covered in building. In other words, all trees and green in the country would be gone!

By the way, 'Heidi' was a fictional character!

 

Thanks for listening!
