Live in Europe?

Switzerland is wonderful but is a bit expensive even for me. It was
actually one of my first thoughts.

Very unfortunately, they don't all tend to come in the same package!
Sure?
Maybe, because of point 3, you're right. I don't know.

Aloha
Thomas :-)

I too have found that Switzerland is much more friendly over all than
Austria -- other than maybe the fabulous concierge at Hotel
Sacher----but then he was probably hoping for a big tip.

Very very true!
But when it comes to nice people (and I refere to myself :-)), than
it's still Switzerland.

The only reason to go into a Mcdonalds in Europe anyway is to use the
toilet facilities while you are out walking and seeing the sights.

Thomas, I take it that you live in Zurich? I absolutely ADORE your
city. I have travelled there many times and absolutely NEVER grow
tired of it!

Starbuck's I included - not! A little spot I like in Spain is currently
fighting off Macdonald's!
(Reminds me of the new Macdonald's I saw in Luxor of all places, with a
burger costing 5 times a local snack. I heard they closed down. Hardly
surprising.).

The first McDonalds in Zurich even got attacked (shortly before opening)
with a molotow coctail and burnt out. Very rare that such stuff happens
for such reasons, here in Zurich. The KFC on the opposite side of the
road closed one year after opening. Not enough clients.

Mc Donalds today are found everywhere here.
KFC not.

You think Magda is bad, you should see Marie's posts.

Never said that I did not know where I would like to live. I asked a
question and was hoping for reasonable replies.

Yours does not fit.

If you judge Austria by Vienna, then any Austrian would agree with you
(except the Viennese, of course).

Personally I find them very similar. More or less the same as everywhere
else.
