Switzerland Report

Switzerland is a rich country and use four official languages – German, French, Italian and Romansh.

The capital of Switzerland is Bern.

The mountains are very tall. 60% of Switzerland is mountain.

There are many lakes in Switzerland.

There are many forests in Switzerland!

I would like to visit there someday!!!

 So, I asked people in Switzerland about their country – 10questions.

I sent messages to 59 people.

And I got 4 responses to my questions.

I was a little sadL =3

<Questions>

1, Do you know a Japanese animation of “Heidis”?

2, What is Switzerland famous food?

3, What is Switzerland famous place?

4, How do you do on weekends in Switzerland?

5, Do you have any unique festivals in Switzerland?

6, How do you spend on your Christmas?

7, What do you eat on your Christmas?

8, What are Swiss good points?

9, have you ever seen real Edelweiss?

10, Are there many St. Bernard Dogs in Switzerland?

First: all of them didn’t know about Japanese animation “Heidis”.

 It appears Hiedi, Alm-Onji, Peter and Clara and so on.

Not only Switzerland Perhaps Heidis may not famous other country.

It is famous in Japan.

 Second: all of them said “Switzerland famous food is Cheese.”

One of Swiss specialty dish is “Fondue” which melted cheese that you eat with bread.

 I really want to eat itJ

other people said “potato and chocolate. “

Swiss chocolate’s quality is high.

Third: there are many famous places in Switzerland.

Three people said “mountains are famous.”  For example, the Alps and the Matterhorn. Cities also are famous – Geneva, Zürich、Luzern and Basel.　

Mr. Tomaadri said “Luzern is a special place for Asia people.” 

Fourth: each people were difference. Three people said “dancing.”  

Mr. Used_to_love said “mostly young people go in night club and see friends.” 

 Fifth: two people said “there are many festivals.”

I also researched about festivals.

Surely there are so many festivals in Switzerland!!

There are 30 traditional festivals in Switzerland.

Mr. Used_to_love said “There are a lot of festivals in summer: paleo, rock’oz arene, frauenfeld….”

I want to join to “Carnevale con Risotto”. Sixth: people spend with family and friend on their Christmas.

Mr. FB39 said “I don’t celebrate Christmas, I’m a Muslim. So, we don’t have Christmas.” Seventh: two people said “there is no special traditional dish.”

People’s dish menu is different.

Eighth: Mr. Used_to_love said “mixed climate, many mountains and lakes, good universities, mixed culture, 4 official languages, a lot of sports possibilities and rich country.”

 I also think that many seasons are good! Ninth: two people said “YES”, other people said”NO”.

Edelweiss is national flower.

Edelweiss is alpine plant, so I think it grow at only high altitude.

And I really want to visit there!!!

 I was glad to know about Switzerland.

When I have some time, I would like to research about there again.

Hopefully I can meet some of my new friends. Thank youJ
