I think swiss people are perceived as the laid back and relaxed type of people. I don't mean lazy, rather a lifestyle that's described by the german term 'Gemütlichkeit'.
Furthermore the swiss seem to be friendly people, but surely not that open-hearted like, say italians. It's more like if you earn a friendship with a swiss guy, and he invites you in his 'inner circle', you'll have a long and deep friendship.
Swiss people seem to have more sense of local patriotism, more than national patriotism, compared to Germans, who often seem to lack local pride at all. I don't mean nationalist views, but the understanding that the area you come from defines who you are.
So, that's my perception of Swiss people. I might be wrong though, because I only had few contacts to the Swiss, and I've never been there. I live in the northern parts of Germany, so it's not exactly round the corner. People from southern parts of Germany might have a better view on that topic. |
