During my European trip I kept a journal with various observations. The following are my Swiss observations:

There is no span of more than ten feet that is flat in Switzerland.

Paris has very little litter on the sidewalks but lots of dog excrement. Lausanne has more litter than dog excrement on the sidewalks. Litter is much easier to get off your shoes.

Personal ads look the same in English as in French.

The Swiss are very calm for a people who are so punctual.

Every public clock in Switzerland in correct. Every one in Italy is wrong.

There seems to be only parallel parking in Switzerland.

Lausanne, Switzerland could give births to 1000 jigsaw puzzles. (See photo for evidence)

In Switzerland, you can ignore no smoking signs in train stations more successfully than you can sit on the floor instead of a bench.

Members of the Swiss Army never take the escalator.
