The 1 Month Evaluation

March 25, 2010,

It's official. I've been living in Switzerland for exactly 1 month. Why not share my evaluation of life abroad.

Love the:

• Chocolate
• Cheese selection and prices. It may be the only thing cheaper here and the taste is so much better
• Scenery, mountains, skiing, outdoors in general.
• Small portions that food comes in. Perfect for just 1 or 2 people.
• The fact that there are no bugs!

Like the:

• Ease of transportation. I haven't missed my car yet.
• My job and the people I work with.
• Exercise. I think I've lost 5 pounds already.

Dislike the:

• Fact that I don't have a clothes dryer.
• Difficulty of getting cold medicine.
• Price of most things.
• Creepy neighbor, but 1 out of 7 isn't bad.
• "Everything closed on Sunday's" rule.

Hate the:

• Number of smokers. They are everywhere
