swiss flag Beautiful Switzerland

Yes, Switzerland has a lot of cheese, and some of them have big holes in it. And yes, the chocolate is delicious, the watches are punctual and the banks have a lot of money (pretty obvious, did you ever see a bank without money???). What else? Completely useless to tell you that Switzerland is that small that the country would fit into Florida twice and all of its people could be accommodated in New York City. You probably also know that we speak German, French and Italian - BUT...

there are some things you do NOT know. And that's way you will find here some answers to
