AlessandraDear Switzerland,
I think I love you. I came all the way from Italy to find myself in love with you. It's not only your beautiful flag, the Alps, or the trains that run on time. There are so many more details that only occurred to me after having lived on your soil for a while.
Without further ado, here are the reasons why I love you, dear Switzerland:
Swiss trains
Here's the iconic SBB Churchill, named after the British celebrity who once embarked on it.
Beautiful Swiss watches
The Mondaine essence watch below is made of mostly renewable materials.
Cheeky tourism postcards
No waiting time at the post office.
This is enough to make any Italian swoon. I have this picture on my phone and I show it to my Italian friends. They cry.
Assembling your own egg carton at the supermarket.
Can you say "sexy door-to-door cheese fondue delivery" three times in a row?
On-demand medium services.
Very handsome pumpkins
November weather invites for swims in Swiss lakes*
*OK, this last one is a joke. The picture was actually taken in Southern Italy. Because the weather here in Ticino has been wet and miserable lately… Some things are still better in Italy, after all!
