I had an amazing time in Switzerland a while back. As I reflect on it, one of the themes I heard over and over from friends living there (non swiss), is that it is a lonely place, hard to make real connections with people etc... This is not something I have heard from friends living in other countries (as foreigners). I am sure its true in many places but in #Switzerland it was 100℅ of my admittedly small sample size. What gives?
