    Roger Federer and Trevor Noah playing together in this commercial is a match made in heaven. Federer's got the finesse and precision of a Swiss watch, and Noah's got the comedic timing of a Swiss cheese 😂

I think he would make such a fabulous tour guide! He certainly inspires me to want to go to Switzerland and check out all the beautiful things there. I wish you and your family all the best Rodger, you are an inspiration to us all! ❤

    I quit my job during the pandemic and moved to Switzerland to finish my doctorate. I'm seriously considering staying here. They're not joking about the importance of the trains. The public transit - it's truly transformative in how I live day to day and for leisure time. (And yes, the punctuality of the transit is just unbeatable. I appreciate that I won't miss my connection even if the GOAT Herr Federer is on the train. :D)
    It delights me to see the Federer Express tram in Basel now and then.

At some point I realized that without, water, sunscreen and dinner in an hour, I have to go back.
    The decent is always harder than going up. But I catched the hiking bug at Switzerland and it made me so happy. Plus the food.

    We have had some bad experiences there as South Africans😅
    1. It was a bit stoic and clinical;
    2. There is a bit of a lack of activity venues and attractions like other EU destination;
    3. We were harassed by border authorities whilst transiting through Zurich over a minor Schengen technicality and were badly treated;
    4. It is expensive as one would expect;
    5. It is a bit more conservative than other EU countries.
    However I am just listing some experiences, I am sure given another chance I would make better experiences there that would rectify these bad ones I have had!

      You‘re not incorrect. The SRF recently has been focused on the lack of openness, conservative ways, and racial profiling that happens in Switzerland. It’s a tough subject for the Swiss to speak about, as it can bring upon shame, embarrassment, etc., and they don’t want that kind of attention...but continuing to try and pretend and hide what does happen to many foreigners, and those with color won’t work. It’s a work in progress.

We had no idea we were waiting on the wrong side as there was no bench on the other side of the small grassy track. The tram arrived and there was no door on our side so we immediately ran to the other side and the tram guy closed the door and left without us.
