Guys - in today's world - this contribution comes as a surprise. You both - are working at a professional level as social media people - contributing value - based on facts and direct feedback from other people - who all tell it as it is without having a hidden agenda. All the points that they did bring up are totally correct. None of them seem to have a hidden agenda. It takes talent to pick people you interview to avoid that you end up with a totally distorted picture depending on which area and what type of people you choose to talk to. Your interview took place in open air - not linked to traffic hubs like airports and railway stations where people are under stress. Relaxing and enjoying a nice day makes it easier, to be frank and tell it how you really feel. And you are blessed to have a videographer on your side who is as good as it gets. And this time - you threw him a few curve balls with the lighting and he did cope with it like a champ. Perfect - according to Swiss Standards, nothing is perfect - there is always room for improvement. But this time - you hit the nail on the head. 10-10-! Bravo - bravissimo. In the Opera - the three of you would bring the house down. I never ever said this about any of the videos on KZbin - but you deserve it. Go Pro people.

[@socalskater5757]

In Orange County California, do not ride the Metrolink train without a ticket. The fine is $1500.00 USD for not having a ticket. The tickets are available at automated vending machines or on an app and cost between $20.00 and $50.00 USD depending on distance traveled. It makes the 100 CHF fine in Switzerland look cheap.

[@claudiaandjan]

Wow what an expensive fine!! Better to buy the ticket 😊

[@1BeautyQueenFromMars]

Interesting, I never went to a city that has more public toilets than Zurich! 😅

I just spent a week in Zürich to see if I'd like to move there some day. It was awesome! Beautiful city and surrounding. Sunset on top of Uetliberg / Felsenegg was unreal. Do you have any advice on how to find a job? (Administrative / financial)

[@claudiaandjan]

Hi!! Thanks a lot for your comment. We recommend you our video titled “How to find a job in Zurich.” Best of luck!! ⭐️

[@BernhardSchwarz-xs8kp]

Word of mouth. Find somebody who works already there. And above all - Swiss companies expect you to tell them what you can bring to the party. What can you do for them? Whether you like to move to Switzerland - they don't pay you for that. Conclusion: Research the company - find out what talents they need and match this with your qualifications. Nothing is more attractive than an applicant who comes with "an offer to help" and not "begging for "being paid" because he likes Switzerland. The other route is - to find a company in your home country that has a subsidiary in Switzerland. Specially if you come from a country that does need employees who speak the language of the Mother Company and are familiar how business is done back home. They are acting as both, employees and ambassadors of the Home Office - and in the past - it was much easier to get a visa under such conditions.

[@felixniederhauser7799]

Urinating in a public place, even when it is secluded and the police catch you, you will get a fine. However, many years ago my father did it and did not pay the fine, because he showed the police officer his "Schiffer Patent" (schiffen = urinating) NB: Schiffer Patent = Motorboat License. Ha, ha, ha

Hey so I’m a Swiss citizen but I live in another country, I’m a mixed kid. I don’t speak any European languages, just English. I was wondering whether it’s possible to study in a University that has courses in English and learn German as a seperate subject?

[@mafriend2011]

It is! Usually more Masters degrees than Bachelors are held in english tho

Hello

[@JoelOman1980]

Hahaha! That, "to not confuse Switzerland with Sweden" is totally accurate! Although, as a Swede, it's the opposite! I've heard it several times, especially when traveling to the US...! 😅 So, 🇨🇭 is NOT 🇸🇪 😂

[@rkw2917]

In the Swiss German areas don't assume that the clothing makes the person Someone in jeans could easily be a billionaire In the French areas it can be the opposite

[@maximilianleopoldmuller6141]

Why ?

[@mario_luis_dev]

1:03 wait saying “hello” or “hallo” is offensive ?? What in the world? 🤔

Getting a speeding ticket 😅

Ups 😬😂

I understand that haha, it can get expensive quickly 😄

[@andreaseveso89]

“don’t say Hallo to Swiss people because sometimes they get offended..” at first i thought she meant not to greet people ‘cause they don’t like it.. shocked :)

[@claudiaandjan]

Haha 😆

[@pneron2032]

What's wrong with saying hallo???

[@danielschwendinger8382]

She probably referred to the fact that „Hallo“ and even more „Tschüss“ are considered informal or even impolite, when you don‘t know the other person. The appropriate Greetings would be „Grüezi“, „Griessäch“, „Guet Tag“ etc… and „Uff Wiederluege“, „Uff Wiederseh“, „Adieu“ etc… depending on the region and the local dialect. This is quite challenging for Germans, because „Hallo“ and „Tschüss“ are used ubiquitously there. And, as she mentioned, mispronouncing the Swiss greeting mostly causes amusement, but sometimes is also seen as offensive (when done by Germans).

[@hippodinoreserve6090]

@@danielschwendinger8382So basically you can’t win. Hallo is wrong. But Gruëzi, without a Swiss accent, is also wrong.

[@danielschwendinger8382]

@@hippodinoreserve6090 You can always use the formal German „Guten Tag“.

Avoid using public transportation as much as possible. A case for which I had tested positive (February 2023) for a variant of covid-19 and also influenza. Laying ill in bed for 14 days while vacationing in Lausanne ~ not fun 🤒

[@ramonsuter7435]

That has nothing to do with public transport. I use it daily, everyone uses it at least weekly. You just had bad luck

[@gr_br]

@@ramonsuter7435 Also, what if I may ask (without being attacked) is the current status involving panhandlers in Lausanne? On my last *"bad luck"* visit last February (2023) I seen many Gypsy-like homeless panhandlers begging for money in and around old town and at metro train stations. Another surprise was being awaken at 0730 hrs (7:30am) by the sound of a gardener using a *gasoline-powered leaf blower.* On a previous visit to Switzerland back in 2019 I didn't see any of these things. Please note; these events ~ My getting seriously ill. My hearing and seeing a gas leaf blower being used. My seeing homeless people begging for money - I had only seen in Lausanne. Maybe I just had bad luck on this 2023 Suisse vacation visit (?)

just a reminder that you're interviewing people, not the camera... 👁👁

[@claudiaandjan]

Hello thanks for your comment, we are also talking with you indirectly through the video 👍👋

[@languagenick3172]

Don't be too direct and too straight forward interacting with swiss people, they have kind of a indirect behaviour and will communicate in a more indirect way. Furthermore don't speak too loud being in public places, people tend to speak quieter and softer than in Germany or Italy.

[@claudiaandjan]

You think we should do a video about that topic? We can try to interview in one video only people with Muslim background, but that will be quite difficult, because there are not that many and the people also need to agree to be interviewed with us 😃👍 But yes we are taking note and maybe can do a video in that regard in the future 😃🙌 Have a great week!

[@BernhardSchwarz-xs8kp]

One thing - when in Switzerland - people address each other and speak to each other in a friendly and polite manner. English is probably not your mother tongue. One reason more that you have to be careful how you use a language. I want - is more of a "command" than a desire to do or have something done. I often hear foreigners in a Swiss Restaurant telling the waiter - I want a coffee and then I want sugar with it. I hope you hear the nuance between - "would like" or "please bring me" or anything other but want. And "merci" works in all languages to show your gratitude for a service you received.
