Slightly off topic, but the beauty of Switzerland was such a stark contrast to where I grew up in New Jersey that it almost made me angry. All these people, going about their daily lives in Switzerland seemingly oblivious to the fairy-tale landscape around them!
- jvreeland 10y agoJersey can be beautiful too : ) But remember the US is huge. If you like mountains, Checkout Colorado, Montana, Alaska, Wyoming, Washington and Oregon among others : )
- chrisper 10y agoRemember that people get used to the environment. People who live in the Bay Area don't care about the Golden Gate Bridge for example.
- throwaway91111 10y agoFor someone out of the area, what's the big deal? I much prefer the mackinac bridge for the sights AND the bridge itself.
- coldcode 10y agoThere are also palm trees in the Italian part of Switzerland, around Lake Lugano. Nice weather.
- personlurking 10y agoI think the same about Brazil. Endless amounts of natural beauty and it often seems to go unnoticed (or merely noticed but not fully appreciated).

- geodel 10y agoWell for me a similar dream came true when I moved from third world city where people defecating in open all over, kids playing in overflowing garbage and folks living on sewage pipes to a Chicago suburb.
