Luzern

After four spectacular days in Italy, we headed back up north towards Switzerland. the world's most famous neutral country. Switzerland was an interesting place. Because of where it is geographically, it is very common for most Swiss people to speak at least 4 languages, based on the three countries surrounding it. They typically speak French, Italian, German and English. So really if you go to high school in Switzerland, if anything, a job that you would be guaranteed to have around the European Union is translation work! Switzerland, like Singapore, depends heavily on mandatory conscription to maintain a large enough military to protect its neutral alliances. Except I think the Swiss set the standard for everyone else on the planet. For example, the Pope's personal guards and the Vatican's security is handled by the Swiss guards.
