Differences

Here are some of the things that I think are the most different between Switzerland and the USA. Clothes: no they do not have more conservative clothes, or a completely different fashion taste, but one major difference is they do wear clothes more than one day in a row. The week I went to school many of the people would wear a shirt two, three, or four days in a row. This is a habit we don't have in the U.S. Here is we have worn something for a whole day it is seen as dirty and must be washed. Even if we wear it two days it is not to the same extent as Switzerland. Food: Swiss people eat larger lunches than we, but for Breakfast they only have a butter and jammed slice of bread also dinner tends to be a small meal consisting of yogurt, cheese, and, well you guessed it... bread. Their portions for some meals might be larger but their packaging is much small.  There are of course exceptions to both of these, but it seems to be a trend. Another foodie fact is the peanut butter hear is more peanuty and dense unlike my favorite sugary fluffy peanut butter. I am not saying any of this is bad, only different. Around town: people walk more here, as expected. Also things are more expensive, but for some reason, it doesn't shock me of make me wonder, it seems normal.
