[dazzledbylight]

So I e-m'd my aunt & uncle....and because I'm up so late I just a quick
e-m back from my uncle who told me Switzerland is not in the EU. They

I'm exited you are comming over to our continent Dazz! Travelling is good for the soul.

 

[JJAsi]

where´s my beer Domo ?

 

[dazzledbylight]

Thanks, JJ & domo-k!
Yes, traveling can be/is amazing, fascinating, so interesting.

Totally interesting to be on another continent!
Being in the USA, it's so big yet you're traveling between States. There are some major differences in various ways, especially climate, terrain and then customs - but nothing like traveling the equivalent physically between the size of some of our States and your countries with them often being quite different from each other in customs.

I'd imagine that Russians, Indians (India) & Chinese might feel similar visiting Europe, South America, Africa, other parts of Asia ( and so would Americans).

Enjoy your weekend everyone!

Oh & last night on James Cordin (late late show)
Jack Hana brought our an adorable penguin

I agree that traveling is good for the soul. Going to Ireland (twice!) changed my life forever.

Come and get it. It's too cold and expensive for me to buy it there.

 

[JJAsi]

Yeah dazz. Love travelling in continental Europe, 500km and in different country with different language and culture

So as soon as my passport arrives, then my aunt will book my flight.

She might have me land in Zürich instead of Geneva.
I wrote back if I go land in Zurich then I have to get a German phrasebook too, then?
Already have the French one, plus a Kindle Fire French phrase app which I better now get back to studying.

At least I have a few phrases in French I remember from grade school!

I certainly enjoy the sound of French. German... not so much. Oh, well. : )

I may prefer your summer to ours, JJ. TFH here!

Oh honey, it doesn't matter if you know German or French. The Swiss have their own language and it's absolutely uncomprehensible. Schweizerdeutsch. It's a mixture of German, French, Italian and random babble. So don't bother, haha.

Also, if you land in Zurich and got some time, if you walk out into the main street from the train station, there's this awesome chocolate shop that had the best chocolate I've ever tasted.

Daz, they indeed speak gibberish just talk in english and you´re good

 

[dazzledbylight]

You people are funny


I'll add that their small town (pop. some what above 1,000) is around
3 miles/4.8 klms near the French border at its closest. So I'll ask them
if more French is spoken there then the Swiss language, or there it's
peppered with a lot more French.

Thanks for the suggestions!

 

[Galeongirl]

If it's near the French border, they'll pretty much all speak French. But a lot of Swiss people speak English as well so don't worry. They're not half as chauvinistic as the French who refuse to speak English.

Thanks, I figured some would at least.

Still I'll do my best to get some more French in place, it's the considerate thing to do.

My youngest cousin of the 6 of them was born in Switzerland, and French is her first language. Her daughter is the one who visited us last Summer.

 

[domo-kun]

I don't hate it. I sometimes find it too harsh sounding after a while.
