Some facts or observations about Switzerland...

1. Geneva is located in the French-speaking part of Switzerland, so I have been bombarded with French everywhere.
2. A question needs to begin and end with a greeting, such as Bon Soir...(question)...Merci beaucoup. Au revoir. ( Do not know if I am spelling the French correctly)
3. People in Switzerland are very united and community-oriented. There is great emphasis on civil responsibility and not much emphasis on the individual. For example, going to the police or to a lawyer is almost unheard of because people tend to work out problems themselves as they feel that it is part of their civil responsibility.
