Swiss people are really great. Even the punk rockers I met in Switzerland were courteous and respectful. People seemed excited about having the opportunity to slow down to less pedestrians pass by. It was a pretty big difference from, oh, I don't know... Oakland?

Europeans were very polite to me, in general, even in Paris and London.

Compared to Haiti, the zombie problem in Switzerland is very manageable.
If you have a lot of money, then it will feel very welcome in Switzerland, and the Swiss will go out of their way to try to make it feel at home.
It's a good place to buy a bumper sticker that says "I brake for fallen rocks" - in three languages, no less!

No unsightly litter in the streets. Littering is strictly cordoned off into special 'trash opportunity zones' and confined to a few hours in the early morning on Tuesdays and Saturdays.

Saw lots of people floating down the Rhine yesterday. It flows a lot faster than I expected, being used to the lazy pace of the upper Mississippi.

Geneva resident here. We have the Rhone, which also flows along at a fair old pace.
