Images of Switzerland ~ The Jewel of Europe

[Your Old Comrade]

Rheinfall (Rhine Falls) is the Largest plain Waterfall in Europe. Watching powerful flow of water cascading down the rock beds is a truly breathtaking view.
On the hill above the waterfall, a beautiful ancient castle makes the view even more stunning. A destination that can't be missed in Switzerland.

Now, you might like Switzerland. The Alps, the chocolate, the neutrality. But let me tell you something. Switzerland is not a country I like. I mean, come on. A country that stays neutral in everything? What's up with that? And don't even get me started on the language situation. They've got German, French, Italian. It's like a linguistic hodgepodge. And the clocks! Everywhere you look, there's a clock. I mean, come on. What's the big deal with knowing the time all the time? “And the cheese. The Swiss and their cheese. Emmentaler, Gruyère, Appenzeller. Sounds like a bunch of made-up words to me. And the banks. Switzerland is famous for its banks. But let me tell you, when I was there, they wouldn't even let me open an account. They said, 'Mr. Trump, we don't do business with people like you.' Can you believe that?

Switzerland is no longer a neutral country, they recently ditched their neutrality.
