Just a reminder that Switzerland is gob-smackingly beautiful.

A friend forwarded this time-lapse video of places in the mountains around Switzerland at night. It's really stunning! (As a bonus, at the end of the movie, there's another suggested time-lapse video of Zürich, which is also super cool!)

Funny set of articles on being German.

Here's a link to the first of a set of three articles on being German. While not all of these things apply to being Swiss, I feel that actually quite a few do. I especially appreciated the point about insurance (#4). We've had multiple lunch–time debates about the various types of insurances and what you should have. (But that's it's own post, I think!) Now, if you ever meet a German, this will make everything just a little more clear!
