Switzerland: the most incredibly overrated country in the history of the fucking planet.

I truly don't get why people think Switzerland is a nice country to live in. Switzerland is like Disneyland: good to visit for a day, horrible to live in.

1. Rent is incredibly high. Properties are shit. Forget about buying your own home.
2. Shit is ridiculously expensive. Quality is mediocre. Choice is very limited.
3. Extremely bureaucratic. Public services suck and laws are designed to cripple individuals.
Example: Public transportation sucks ass and yet they make it extremely hard to get a driver's license or to start a taxi company.
4. It's just fucking boring. Everything is closes almost all the time, specially during the weekends. There isn't much to do.
5. People are extremely lazy, entitled and have an incredibly shitty attitude. Swiss people aren't nice nor polite. They are all miserable pricks.
6. The food sucks and even if it didn't suck, the choice is limited and going out for a meal is extremely expensive.

Fine. How many years did you live in other countries?

>>75748931

I currently live in Shanghai, China. I just came back to Switzerland after two years of not setting foot here.

In Shanghai, everything changes all the time. One year ago when I rented my current apartment, the stores in
my neighborhood were completely different. Meanwhile in Switzerland, nothing has changed in the last 10 years XD (REALLY).

Honestly, Shanghai is way better. China is way better.

I've also lived in Singapore and Seoul. Both places are way better than Switzerland.

And to be honest... The rest of Europe isn't much better. Maybe living in Germany or the UK is a bit better than living in Switzerland but most of Europe is shit, quite frankly.

The US should just take over this god forsaken wasteland that you guys call Europe and use it as a nuclear test site. Europe is really a joke. It's funny to see European people believe that they actually matter. Nobody gives a shit about Europe.

I can't say I disagree. The fact that Merkel is still in power means a lot of European are suicidal or apathetic. A lot of superfluous government worker jobs and media establishment financed by citizens must disappear in the coming years in order for Europe to survive.

perhaps it's because those areas are large metropolises. it doesn't look like switzerland's cities can quite compare to those cities you mentioned, or even to US cities.

Switzerland is well-known for being really good to the upper middle class/rich and absolutely horrible for the lower classes. It is weird, considering all objective statistics disagree. Nonetheless the suicide rate and emigration rate for the lower classes is one of the highest in the world.

I understand that, but their rent and other costs are sky high.

Statistically, Switzerland is the best place on Earth to live (and I agree as a tourist).

But their suicide rate and emigration rate for the bottom half is sky high as well. El cesped es siempre mejor en el otro lado

I get it. Shanghai is new and exciting. Not only to you personally, but in total. It's still developing, and people like that there is progress. They aren't stuck longing for the past like they are in Europe. I have friends who actually say that they don't want tall buildings in Oslo. They want to live in their large villas with their white picket fence right near the center of town. Which is why Oslo will never be more than that... a little town. That is the common mindset. Not only among the old people that are about to make up the majority of the population, but among young people, too.

And I like the concept of large cities. Lots of people in one place means lots of things happening all the time. It means that you can find whatever you're looking for, it means that there will be great food and music. And it means that there is always a lot to see, and more to explore. And it means that you can retain your anonymity in daily life.There just aren't any large cities in Europe except London and Moscow. And moving to either of them seems just as unachievable to me as moving to Asia.

Dude, we share the same mindset. Europe is way too narrow-minded for guys like us.

Moving to Asia isn't hard at all, regardless of what you're doing now.

What do I do for a living? I'm self-employed. I own an import export business. I used to design websites as a freelancer.
When I first arrived I even taught English and French.

Even when I was teaching English for a living, my livelihood was extremely better in Shanghai than it ever was in Switzerland. I used to make somewhere around 70k USD a year (5k a month, after taxes) in Switzerland. When I first started working in China, I was making 30k USD a year. Now, I'm making more or less the same I was making in Switzerland but my lifestyle is a million times better and I save a shit ton of money.
>>
>>75754904
>>75754904

Actually, this is not entirely true.


I think cashiers make like 2500 to 3000 ( I don't know how people live on such a low wage in Switzerland).

But it is generally true that Swiss salaries are higher. My first job ever paid me like 4.5k CHF (internship).

4.5k is shit money though. I paid 1k in rent to share an apartment with 4 people. I paid 300 in mandatory insurance. 1.5k in food and supplies. I paid around 300 for public transport (it sucked). I had to save like 500 a month to pay taxes. And the rest I spent on lousy shit.

this, also it seems like op equates dense population and lots of things happening as superior. Much of China lives in poverty and there are obviously many huge issues with it in general, while Switzerland is comparably perfect.

Seems like OP just likes the modern cities with lots of people and happenings and doesn't care about anything else.

>He is saying disney land is a horrible place to live in.
>>
>>75767564

You're right. I do prefer densely populated areas. They are not as uncomfortable when people are open to building tall structures (something that Switzerland desperately needs but will never get).

People in Europe want to live in 15th century cities with 21st century populations. It can't be done. In Switzerland, it's even worse. Switzerland has huge extensions of land that the government mandates be used for the production of extremely cost inefficient agricultural products. So, whenever you feel frustrated about not being able to find proper accommodation in Switzerland: keep in mind that there are farm animals that have more spacious habitats than you do.

And that is a great part of the problem. That's part of the reason why everything is so expensive in Switzerland. That's part of the reason why Switzerland lacks competition and variety when it comes to consumer goods and services. It all comes down to a very low availability of commercial and residential real estate.

However, that's just a symptom of a bigger problem. Europeans, in general, tend to be small-minded and self-important. That's specially true for Swiss people.

I'm spending a week in Switzerland in late June
Zurich, Bern, Lugano, Lucerne, Interlaken, Geneva

Will I get bored or run out of money? t least there's no terrorism there.
>>
>>75767564

And I don't know what makes you believe that Switzerland's only problem is lack of entertainment.

Switzerland has people living in chronic poverty. It is not a problem most people will admit to but it is there.

I agree: China has problems. I wouldn't want to be poor in China (nor anywhere else) but the western media exaggerates the gravity of the problems in China.

Basically, whether you like Switzerland or not comes down to this: are you willing to sacrifice your comfort in exchange for a relatively scenic environment and a vague sense of self-righteousness and superiority?
