    I'm sorry you regard your time in Switzerland as being so bad. I know from your previous statements that it is not possible to brush this off as some short-term bad time or failure to accomodate. The time you have spent here appears to be just too long for this.

    I'm in a sense shaken from your statements, they really do reflect a deep sense of uncomfortabilty and unwelcomeness, which for me is hard to juggle with. As you probably know by now, I'm proud of my country, I'm a proud Swiss citizen. I am one of those that is against Switzerland entering the EU, I am one of those that is worried about the unrestricted free movement of persons from EU countries into Switzerland (to be frank, I'm more for a System of points akin to Australia's or Canada's). But still that doesn't mean I approve of anything you have encountered. Even when I am worried about the things I have described above, I'm still for an open and international Switzerland. Let me just re-assure you that not all of us are the way you describe it here. Let me assure you, that there are Swiss open and free of the behaviour you describe (many of the things you describe strike me to be quintessentially "Bünzli" which, as you might know, is something quite frowned among the Swiss, especially the younger ones, themselves). I'm still cherishing the deeply liberal idea of that the software is what counts in people and not the hardware. That's a paradigm I hold dear, as do many of my fellow Swiss. It's just that as with any other country, there are block headed, deeply disturbed people not willing to accept others amongst them. I'm not that way, and many Swiss aren't that way. Just let me give you this on the way. I honestly wish you a hassle free, happy and fullfilled life in Hong-Kong. Cheers
