A short trip to Switzerland

I always had a passion towards travelling and my Dad has left no stones unturned to ensure that our family gets a taste of diversified culture all across the globe which was only possible if we got the opportunity to travel all across the Globe. We have visited a lot of countries, tasted their food, tried to gel up with their culture and met as many people as possible who are still in touch with us. Out of the many countries we have hovered around, my personal favorite of all time was Switzerland as this country has all the features which match up to my dream country to live in. In no way i am trying to put my country down as it has a lot in store and undiscovered and there is no question around its beauty and varied culture. But i also feel that we should respect the culture and tradition of other countries and every country has something or the other to learn from each other.

We came up with a plan to visit Paris and Switzerland after one of our relatives narrated their experience to us after they have visited and adored these countries but they were running short of words while talking about Switzerland. It was not very late after that we have decided to spend 3 nights and  4 days in Switzerland and on our way back we planned to hold up in Paris for 2 nights. So eventually we took the flight from Delhi to Paris and then we boarded a bus which took 10 hours to reach Switzerland. It was a tiring journey but to our surprise, all the tiredness and fatigue were sentenced the moment we arrived Zurich. The first thing we all noticed was the pure green pastures and the valley surroundings with the sun set gleaming up the pastures. It was truly a treat to the eyes and pleasing to the senses to witness such a beauty which we have always seen in our Book covers and PC icons. The streets were broad, pollution was near to null and streams flowing after every 2nd lane in the country. Most houses and hotels, including where we lodged was made up of wood to maintain the temperature in the interiors. The weather is always amazing there 12 months and the most surprising point for all of us was the daylight till 9 pm and begins at 5 am. It was later when i discovered the sun revolving theory due to which there are short and long day lights in different regions. There is nothing called slum there and it seemed that Almighty has been so satisfied with this country that it has decided to put up here and gift it utmost purity. It would definitely not be justified if i dont credit the Swiss government for maintaining the country's goodwill in terms of natural beauty, curbing pollution and put a full stop to crime.



After we have witnessed the scenic beauty, we have decided to explore more about the country. So we have decided to taste the food of this country and also get a feel of its culture. It was equally mesmerizing to understand that their food and culture was equally fabulous like their scenic beauty. You dont have to know a person to smile and wave your hands. Every person in this country is helpful. You dont have to fear to ask for some aid to a stranger. People love walking by the beaches and they are quite free minded. People there are always calm and do not allow their tensions and worry to get it displayed on their face. Or might be, they always have a positive attitude towards life. They have their own cuisines that excites the taste buds, They have their special sausages which they prepare in a very exotic manner. They have their own wines which are the best i have ever had in my life. If there are people who are extremely habituated towards their country food are not left apart. There is everything in store for them as there are varieties of food and cuisines which are a summation of dishes all across the globe. We even had samosas and kachoris there nearby our hotel in a food market. Our Italian friends did dine Pizzas and Margharettas. The Swiss chocolates were so amazing that no words would be enough to explain how good they taste. People there arnt car crazy. They love cycling and even the CEO and Directors of the companies ride cycles to their office which is a real pleasure to watch which is a symbol of their CSR and how much grounded these people are. I have a dream to visit Switzerland once again with my family and not to mention if i get a job in that country, i would love to get settled there. Again let me repeat myself, i do love my country and would love to do anything for it. Switzerland is just a matter of choice for me.
