I'm going to Switzerland for a Year!?What to do???? |
Travel Info What should I see? What should I bring? and what language do i need to learn? Travel Tips Well, what are you actually doing in Switzerland?! Studying? Travelling? Being an au-pair? The language spoken depends on the part of the country - the major part speaks German, the Western part speaks French and the Southern Canton of Tessin speaks Italian... There is a lot to see - medieval towns, snow mountains, picturesque railway lines, beautiful lakes and a lot more. And all that in a very small area (see some links). What to bring you've asked? Well - to bring into Switzerland or to bring back home? Perhaps buy some special chocolate, some handcrafted wood, a Swiss army knife - OK, most is available in other countries as well...

Bring a wedding band in case you find Mr.Right. When love is present, your eyes tell it all. Ok, just do as others tell you. Wonderful.You'll have a great time.The currency is the swiss franc.The languishes are french,italian and old german.Depends on the season of arrival.European seasons are like the USA.Obviously Swizerland is an alpine country If you like skiing you'll have a ball,or any other Winter activities.The Summers are idyillic and lots to see and do.Don't worry you'll aclamatise quickly.Jeans are in vogue all year It's depend on where in Switzerland. For languages, you need to learn French or German according to the site. But in big cities like Zurich, Geneva, people speak English too. You should bring with you: hot clothes for the winter, for the summer, light clothes. In the mountains, the climate is alpine and in Ticino, for example, near the lakes, the climate is mediterranean. Switzerland offers you a lot of activities: - cultural with museums (Olympic Musee in Lausanne, Musee of watch industry in La Chaux-de-Fonds, art Museum,...), festivals of music, of theater,... -of sport: climbing, sailing, walking, skiing, swimming,.... Have a best time in my country!! Definately visit Lucerne. It is a very beautiful city. I also suggest a cable car ride to the top of a mountain - The Jungfrau is one of the most touristy but also one of the most expensive. I suggest the Pilatus near Lucerne. I also recommend a visit of the Cheese Factory in Gruyeres. And definately a chocolate factory tour (Caillers is great) - you can even ride the 'chocolate train' and combine the cheese factory and chocolate factory tours together on this trip. I also suggest visiting the Italian part of Switzerland, Ticino. Of course, if you are in Switzerland for a year, France, Germany, Austria, Lichtenstein and Italy are all close. Bring everything for 4 seasons. Make sure you include your winter gear. Switzerland has 4 official languages, French, German, Italian and Romansch. I suggest learning either French or German depending on which region you will be spending the most time in. Most people do speak some English, especially in the larger cities. Have fun! I've lived in Switzerland for over a year now, and when we first arrived the one thing that we found was essential was our copy of this book.... buy a copy! http://www.amazon.com/living-working-swi... |
