What's it like to grow up in the Swiss mountain town of Gstaad? | Young and European

[@ainoncheng4377]

after seeing all the inconviniences happening to the world right now, i will cherish every moment the comfort of staying home...

[@LCMM2150]

I like her sibilant R. It sounds nice.

[@pman-y7m]

nice place to grow up in 😊❤

[@LCMM2150]

She studies in Lausanne? I wonder if her course is in French.

[@patrickfitzgerald2861]

Such a busy and privileged life! I wonder if she understands how difficult it is for the masses of people who live outside the hyper-wealthy bubble of Switzerland?

[@shahlabadel8628]

great observation . agree.

[@Lifree-e8x]

Its indeed a great question. But i still have to say that she probably shared the bright sides of her life. For example, costumer service jobs (also tourism) in Switzerland can be mentally destroying. Costumer is king and stay positive is that much a thing here that most employees don't speak up. To talk about it in public is unimaginable because of privacy culture. That is one of the reasons why a lot of scandals that Swiss companies had with criminal costumers are hidden for decades.

I also live in Switzerland and I do know that this is a priviliged life. (Even though I did not go skiing often or lived in the mountain as the lucky girl in this video). I also know that it is by mere coincidence that I ended up here and I did nothing that makes me more deserving of this life than others... I also know that there are many Swiss people who feel entitled to their life and think it is their right to live in wealth while others suffer. (I really don't understand these people) I probably don't fully understand how it is to live in poverty but I do know that Switzerland is not the norm. Still there are also downsides to Switzerland. In contrast to other countries Switzerland does not have a very welcoming and open minded culture. We are also not very hospitable and it is hard for outsiders to be accepted. I actually don't like this at all about my country but have to admit that I, like most Swiss people, am also reserved and not as open to talking to people I don't know. Even though when I get to experience a different culture I usually enjoy the openness, hospitality and warmth that are part of many cultures and I often find it hard to go back to the cold reserved narrow minded swiss people.

[@Lifree-e8x]

@@ellythepelly the cold sided part is for sure a huge thing here. I also have to say that its very much connected to capitalism, economy and just detailed things (like paying back the exact amount even among friends. It kind of tries to make sure that nobody takes advantage of hospitality/ never pays/ doesn't take work seroously/.... Also it usually priorizes work which also makes a lot of systems work better (less spontanous delays/ losses of employees because of family emergencies,...) It definitelly leads to a lot of mental health issues for majority of people but its not really changeable when economy and capitalism is priorized.

[@patrickfitzgerald2861]

@@ellythepelly I am from the US, and have met many very friendly Swiss people during my solo travels through Europe. That said, the entitlement mind-set is very common among the top elites world-wide, and far too many of them are either permanent or part-time residents in Switzerland.

This young lady, Melina, should consider herself lucky, having been born and living in such a story-book-like place.

[@Lifree-e8x]

She showed the storybook like days. There can be weeks of no sunshine there. Just fog and rain,...

Only West Europe? 🟢 Hello from Bucharest, Romania - a huge underrated city in Europe:)

[@jason4275]

She's 19, must be something in the Air up there, because she looks like she's pushing 30.

[@GeneRauXxX]

Swiss German really reminds me a Turkish speaking German language because of the rolled R's and sounds are apart and decisive. when it comes to Z, prolly Turks can't pronounce that version in High German but Swiss German's T is almost the same in Turkish. Thank you for sharing this beautiful and informative video. I might start learning Swiss German, sounds intriguing.

[@Lifree-e8x]

She didn't spoke Swissgerman. She spoke German with a Bernese Swissgerman accent.

[@itcu185]

Swiss German is way more understandable

[@GeneRauXxX]

isn't robbie williams dead?

[@jagosss]

Can you GOOGLE?

[@GeneRauXxX]

@@jagosss I knew he is dead, I was just telling. maybe video had been shot way before he died.

[@dweuromaxx]

You‘re probably thinking of US actor Robin Williams who passed away in 2014. English singer Robbie Williams is very much alive.

[@CGM_68]

The 50 year old British pop singer and former member of Take That is alive and well.
