"Expats in Switzerland appreciate the high quality of life and the well-maintained infrastructure. They also appreciate the high level of safety, politeness and respect for privacy. Additionally, the variety of cultures and languages and the tradition of neutrality is appreciated by many expats. Furthermore, expats enjoy the abundant opportunities to explore nature and experience the joy of living in the beautiful Swiss Alps. Finally, they may even appreciate the strong social welfare system and the access to high-quality educational institutions," said another expat in Switzerland.
"The air is clean, we can ski on weekends in winter. You see the mountains. But that's about it. I personally appreciate Asia much more," wrote a member who made the move to Zurich, Switzerland.
