    Hi there,

    Most Swiss friends I have are really down to earth people. Very simple minded but on the best aspect of the expression. They farmers. And I don´t mean that in any bad way. But normally farmers are very closed people.

    Most of them have become my friends through what I would otherwise regard as a very dull period where the only bond was normally a common interest. James Bond movies, for crying out loud. BUT if you stick around long enough eventually this thread expands into a real friendship. Most likely long lasting.

    As I see it, in Switzerland friendship is not a sprint. A conversation at a party, a night out on the town, a cup of coffee. It is about endurance, trust. That might explain also why so many of them go abroad to get married and find friends.

    Being born in Brazil, it took me a while to figure this much out. In fact, I still curse my luck sometimes. But I am sure when and if I leave Switzerland I will also leave some good SWISS friends behind.

    cheers.
    Daniel
