[@jackroro7381]

@Peter, I think the blame on migrants for every bad thing, starting to sound cliché.. It starts to sound more like a planned thing, or manipulation by some media or politics. economy is going down they blaming on migrant, well what about government spending a lot of money on wars, does that bring the economy down? The war in Ukraine alone has cost over 100 billions in just 2 years. Or Covid politics which brought donw many small businesses. criminality increases they blame it on migrant, well what is it really true? does extreme poverty or people loosing jobs, or things getting too expensiv create criminality? I think so. so let's also look at the real people to blame who are the politicians. America was made great by migrants in some way. My point here is that everybody has to share the responsabilities, and most importantly, politicians who take those bad decisions

The drug problem in Zurich back in the 80s and 90s was taken off the streets(Letten) and the needle park due to a few brave forward thinking physicians that were able to get the politicians to see that addiction is a disease and not a crime. The changing of the policy was instrumental in keeping health costs down and curbing the spread of HIV through the population. I am very proud that such a conservative country back then could be so innovative.

IIRC the US also put Switzerland under heavy pressure to not enable their doctors to prescribe heroin to addicts, as part of their rehabilitation to society, because it directly went against the US “war on drugs” policy - which, in itself, was largely driven ideologically, not by money as Peter implied. As backdrop, this Swiss approach also derived from the Swiss judging that methadone treatment was a failure.

[@m.a.6478]

@@queue555 That's a very good question. A would not describe myself as an atheist but I go to church only a few times a year. Most people nowadays look at religion as something private.

One very important influence was Napoléon during the Helvetic Republic when church and state were separated. Most believe in a "higher power" but are torn between science and belief.

Coming from an architecture school in India [cept], and my home in sikkim, it was all new and exciting but a bit stiff at times. i felt more at ease with the ticinese and italians. over time i’ve developed a deep respect for the swiss and their integrity. it shows in everything thing they do, especially in the governance system that they’ve evolved over time. so glad to have had that opportunity to live there as a college kid. gestalt experience seeing the blue and white trams:)

[@mokisan]

Are you in Swiss still. How is it

[@kailashpradhan7452]

i was there for just a year in ’87 and haven't been back since. I live in my home town in gangtok, sikkim now. i’ve become more aware of whats happening in the world around me since then and realise just how good the swiss system is and works. Kinda unbelievable when I compare it to the state of affairs where i’m from. i’ve come to the conclusion that honesty / integrity is foundational to do anything of quality and i don't know how we can change that mindset. Switzerland is a classic example of what is possible if you have an honest society. Handwork too of course.

@kailashpradhan7452 Thanks for the honest and detailed answer 🙂

Just to add a few facts to this video (I live downtown Zürich): - The "needle park" was called Platzspitz and it was closed in 1992, so 32 years ago. - They passed by Odeon café, which Michael mentioned that it was LGTB (very much so between 70s and 90s; my former teacher, who is gay, from Basel used to drive there quite often, he told me a few years ago over drinks). It is divided nowadays into a restaurant/bar on the left, and pharmacy to the right. It used to be holistically a restaurant/bar and historical figures who went into and out of the place were Albert Einstein, Benito Mussolini, Mata Hari, Vladimir Lenin, James Joyce, Hermann Hesse, Tristan Tzara, and when in Zürich, also Ernest Hemingway. - Peter and Michael passed by ETH (Zürich's MIT). This is the place where Albert Einstein was teaching at. - Lindt chocolate bars are mainly made in Kilchberg, at the lake of Zürich. The factory is there and I made chocolate with my daughter and a chocolatier supporting us at Lindt the museum, which is right next to the manufacturing facilities in Kilchberg. Occasionally, certain products are made in France, Italy, or Germany and it will be written on the product by Swiss law (most of this is for foreign markets though), but the chocolate you saw them enjoying was 100% made in Kilchberg, Zürich, Switzerland! - I might go into construction working after this video, but I'm afraid that the CHF 9k salary per month is unfortunately not realistic. Zürich's indeed the most diverse city in Switzerland. Thanks to both you guys!

Very interesting discussions where I find myself agreening in most cases. Next time you should visit Geneva and the Ticino

[@Leenapanther]

10:08 As a left voting Swiss I believe that people who come to live here should make an effort to learn a local language and try to integrate. Many people who move here temporarily for job opprtunities often don’t seem to try to integrate, expecting instead that everyone will speak English. In my opinion, this attitude is wrong. Firms should not support this behaviour at work. To me Asylum seekers aren't a problem, the people who call themselves expats are.

[@henrythegreatamerican8136]

Nowadays with translations so easy on phones and other devices, why do you expect people to actually learn an entire new language? Just talk into your phone and have your phone interpret it and speak the language of your choice.

[@ninanina4324]

​@@henrythegreatamerican8136 Your answer sounds like a joke. Integration is complete with a local language.

[@elliottg.1954]

Never been to Switzerland though it looks pretty good. Always liked Peter's videos, and both fellas in this one make fair points about respect for others and their countries.

[@nikesimon22]

thank youuu so much for the tour, you two have such beautiful soulssss❤ God bless youuuu

[@deirdremurphy8640]

Hi Peter, You travel so much of Europe and America, please give a thought to Ireland, I would love to show you around, I am 3 hours from Dublin and I could show you the down south if another person showed you up East of Ireland (Kildare, Dublin Louth) and you could also get someone to show you Northern Ireland and tell you about the history of the 1916 Easter Rising and how Brexist has effected our country, I discovered your videos a few months ago and binged so many of them, you show cultures and communities so the world can see, Keep up the great work and please consider Ireland at some stage, we might be a small island but we have some amazing history and stories, Thanks, Deirdre

[@Mimlou]

That is so true in my experience as well! 33:28. I bought some Haribo Gummy Bears in Europe last year and was so surprised how much better and juicier they tasted than our US ones! Took a few packs home with me, compared the ingredients list and was shocked with how much crap we substitute from the original recipe. We use so much food dye and fructose corn syrup. 🤮The one from Europe actually had real fruit juices in theirs!!🍓🍊🍍

[@alisummers7984]

Interesting.. The amount of additives in our foods that purposely cause us illnesses is criminal-

[@elizabethcarrington5819]

High fructose corn syrup is added because lobbyists wanted to use every bit of of the corn they’re growing for ethanol fermentation could be used . It’s basically replacing sucrose with fructose, a different sugar . It’s literally in EVERYTHING. Color enhancers are used here because lobbyists get their senators and represent in congress to block these food additives. One example is sodium nitrate which gets converted to carcinogens in the bowel or by certain cooking methods like smoking or charring. It’s directly link to colon, bladder, and pancreatic cancers.

[@eugeniebreida1583]

⁠For anyone unfamiliar, 99% of US bacon falls in this nitrates category, so we carnivore tending types truly need to buy the unprocessed pork varieties…

[@tkautzor]

In Europe Gummy Beara are made out of pork gelatine

[@Mistadobalina111]

Just devoured a Lindt bar (I'm in the U.K). Says it is from Capetown S.A. On Wikipedia it has no mention of a factory there. I find that a bit odd.

[@roshirahmati1603]

Thank you Michael for showing your beautiful country! Peter thank you for making it always happen and thanks your wife for the editing it. 🙏🏼

[@bibermen]

2:58 not 20 years! Platzspitz the Needle Park was 1986-1992

[@JoelinoPT]

Yeah. But it's a common mistake. Even myself. i'm younger and when I want to mention early 90's i say 20 years ago more times than i want to admit 😅

[@barbararuthschatzmann8078]

Oh! I thought as well that it was about 20 years ago. 😅 Maybe we’re just denying getting older. 😏

[@bibermen]

@@barbararuthschatzmann8078 YOU are getting older! I just celebrated my 20th birthday. For the 26th time.

[@bibermen]

And in my opinion, Switzerland did a great job with its drug policy afterwards. At least as far as heroin is concerned.

[@angela_tarantulas]

Yes! I remember Platzspitz and Letten, when I walked by as a child. One never forgets these images 😢

[@m97120]

They guy's accent is very interesting. He doesn't have a typical Swiss accent, even for someone who speak really well. If he learned mostly from movies you'd think his accent would be closer to an American accent, with Hollywood dominating the industry. But he sounds almost like he's trying to speak British with a heavy Swiss accent mixed in, which then turns out to sound almost South African. Interesting...

[@goldenretriever6261]

If I didn't know I'd guess he was a South African living in England

[@AirNava]

That's why i think is he satan and he lives in Switzerland 🇨🇭 🤔 this video is about him just talking and walking around not showing anything 😂

[@countryman569]

I like it when he says " Absolutely " confidence ❤

[@lluchadden4040]

I like your take on people coming into your country. A guest who is respectful and assimilates, not someone who demands you give them whatever they want, at your expense. Guest is right about immigration: Grab the problem by the roots. (Globalism)

[@DT-123]

Don't let these guests in

[@philippesteindl3356]

Forests are nearly always owned in Switzerland, usually by the Burgergemeinde of a nearby Village. But Switzerland offers anyone to walk all forests for free and with no barriers, as long as you stick to the tracks (of which there are a real many, also free and open).

[@edorofish]

Drove from Baumholder Germany to Vicenza, Italy via Switzerland and didn't see much except for the lonnnnnng tunnels. I regret not exploring Switzerland but time was limited.

[@WinchestersuperX]

Im from austria and i work in switzerland great people great work and greater money lol

[@vkdrk]

This is exactly what people say when they move from Slovakia to Austria 🇦🇹🙂😊

[@vlognimariafailana9827]

I love this videos, I watch so many of your videos honestly. The topic is sensitive but it’s a reality of the world.

[@nejcpilih]

Big up, Michael. I'm the same. Paying my groceries at the cashier (person) and not on the electronic/automatic one 🙌💪

[@scmay29]

Eventually they have only a couple manned checkouts and many self-checkouts...you can self checkout in 5 minutes or wait in line for 20 at the manned ones

[@astronaute]

I love this Europe series, you’re amazing man!

[@seb5595]

I’ve been living for 3y in Switzerland… The country is incredible however if you don’t speak the language (German/French/Italian - based on which part of CH you live) it could be more challenging to adapt. I’m a native French speaker and Bilingual in English and live 20 min away from Zurich, however it’s very common that I’m struggling with daily stuff. But then again, I’m in their spot so no complaints here but I thought before moving here that the country was more open to the outside world, but it isn’t.

[@nancysimpson4246]

Good morning Peter thank you very much for the video. I really enjoyed them all.😊
