When we were in Norway earlier, we noticed that a lot was much more expensive in Norway than in Switzerland . Swiss don't party much and go early to bed. This is because they are hard working, and their working days start at 7 a.m. The Swiss have a careful character and are heavily insured. It is the Swiss German speaking part that makes the Swiss income and works the hardest, which of course makes it bitter on the other parts.
Swiss watches are cheaper in Norway than in Switzerland .
This is a cause of the Swiss luxury tax for watches. Somewhere in the Swiss mountains their military arsenal is hidden. They think that is necessary in case of an attack. Swiss men go to military service for three weeks every second year, after a four months long introductionary course at the age of 20. The Swiss French , Swiss Italian and Retoromanian speaking parts are international and want to join the rest of the world.
