Answer 1

I lived in Switzerland for 3 1/2 years and loved it.

Switzerland is a small country but has many rules so that they can live together well. If you are visiting, a few things to keep in mind if you are invited to the home of a Swiss will be some of these...

Take off your shoes when you come into the house (so be sure that you have socks on)

Bring a gift for the host, such as flowers, a plant or chocolate

Greet EVERYONE with a handshake an a hello. Continue around the room until you have done this with everyone.

When you leave, be sure to say goodbye to everyone with a handshake.

A few national foods are Roesti (similar to hash browns), Raclette (a pungent cheese, which is melted and served over potatoes and sprinkled with paprika and nutmeg), Zurichschniztle (common in the Zurich area, is sliced veal served in a mushroom cream sauce with roesti), and of course there is chocolate.

The two main religions are Lutheren (protestant) and Catholic, although there are others. Citizens are required to pay a church tax to one of these churches, unless you can show that you donate to another church of your choice. Different towns are either Lutheren or Catholic and they may have holidays that are for one of these religions where another town, who is predomiately the other religion may have different holidays where stores may be closed. The Swiss are very clean people and they are very much in to quality as opposed to quantity.

Luzern is a wonderful city with many sites. There are the glacier gardens, where glaciers have literally created amazing holes in rocks, there is a mirror maze, a statue of a lion carved into a wall, and an incredible wooden bridge. You can also visit the old city wall.

If you go to the Vierwaldstattersee (a lake), on the edge is the William Tell Chapel

Inside are murals of the life of William Tell, a Swiss hero.

If you are in the Zurich area, you can go to Kilchberg where the Lindt Sprungli chocolate factory is. I believe that you can still arrange to go on a tour and it used to be that every other Tuesday, you could buy overstock and seconds on their chocolate for as little as 10% of the price in the store. Lines can be long though.

I only have time to give you these, but I hope it helps

Answer 2

I would like to correct your first mistake. Switzerland is not a

French speaking country. Only part ( 20%) of the Swiss

speak French the majority (64%) speak German or Swiss-Deutch and about 6.5% or less speak Italian and Romanch.

Here are a few facts:

Romandy (German Welschschweiz), or la Suisse romande(in French), is the French-speaking part of Switzerland. It covers the area of the cantons of Geneva, Vaud, Neuchâtel, and Jura as well as the French-speaking parts of the cantons of Berne, Valais, and Fribourg. About 1.5 million people (or 20% of the Swiss population) live in Romandy.

Swiss French and the French of France are the same language, with some differences. For example, like some other regions of the French-speaking world, Swiss people (as well as many Francophone Belgians) use septante (seventy) instead of soixante-dix (literally, sixty ten) and "nonante" (ninety) instead of "quatre-vingt-dix" ("four twenties and ten"). In some parts of Romandy, speakers use "octante" or "huitante" (eighty) in place of the standard in France and elsewhere of "quatre-vingt" (four-twenty) and "sous" for a 5-centime coin. http://www.langue-fr.net/index/S/septant...

The term does not formally exist in the political system but is used to distinguish and unify the French-speaking population of Switzerland. The television channel Télévision Suisse Romande (TSR) serves the Romande community across Switzerland, and is syndicated to TV5. (Vikpedia)
