那台灣人自己會怎麼看自己呢?


以下是瑞士人看瑞士人的觀點~~

1. you complain if your bus/train/tram is more than 5 minutes late. Make that
1 minute

2. you've ever been confused with a Swede

3. you laugh when Americans believe that Swiss Miss is a Swiss product, but
then have no clue that Nestlé and Rolex ARE

4. you get frustrated if you go grocery shopping abroad and there aren't at
least 10 different kinds of chocolate and 15 kinds of cheese available

5. you have learned three to four languages and think this is completely
normal

6. you have ever been asked - upon stating your nationality - whether you
live in the mountains

7. you can pronounce "Chuchichäschtli" and you know what it means

8. you have ever been asked who the president of Switzerland is and then
failed miserably trying to explain why you've lost track

9. you know what "Röschti" are and you have crossed the "Röschtigrabe" at
some point

10. you went to a state-funded ski camp every year with your classmates in
high school

11. to you, skis are like the extensions of your feet, because you've skied
since you could walk

12. you are amused when people ask you what language (singular???) is spoken
in your home country

13. you owned a Swatch growing up... or still do

14. you've ever seen "Sandmännchen" dubbed into Romansch

15. as a female, you give all your friends three kisses on the cheeks as a
greeting

16. you love Migros and you swear that some of their products are better than
anything you've ever seen elsewhere

17. you've ever been asked by your non-Swiss friends to intervene in a fight
and used "hey, I'm Swiss" as an excuse not to

18. your country has six different public television channels in three
different languages - and you don't think this is unusual

19. you get amused when you see Swiss German people being subtitled on German
television

20. you firmly believe it is more important to do things accurately than to
do them quickly

21. you were legally allowed to drink beer and wine at the age of sixteen

22. you walked to kindergarten without supervision, wearing a large orange
triangle around your neck

23. you think that Switzerland may eventually join the EU, but you're not
truly in favor of that

24. when you are asked to explain how certain things work in your country,
you have to use the phrase "it differs for each canton, so..."

25. you are asked to vote on a "Referendum" or "Initiative" at least 3 or 4
times a year

26. you are used to drinking from any public fountain in the street unless
there is a warning sign that says "no drinking water"

27. you grew up believing all cows must wear bells

28. you think that driving somewhere for four hours is a hell of a long time

29. you get slightly irritated or at least confused if your foreign visitors
ask to see a chocolate factory

30. you know what Betty Bossy books and products are and have bought one

31. you know someone that collects the tin foil lids from coffee cream tubs

32. you don't see where the problem is when every male citizen who has been
to the army has a machine gun under his bed

33. you have to pay twice the price for museum entries because you're not a
citizen of the EU, although you live in Europe!

34. you are in a non-European country and can hear people talking Swiss
German and just go up and strike up a conversation with a complete stranger
