  • If you must come to this part of the world, go to a nice, big cosmopolitan German city instead. Austria and Switzerland are small countries in every sense of the word. There is no doubt that you can have a comfortable life here (if you have jobs), but give up any dream of assimilation...it's not like the US in that sense. My experience is with Switzerland. Unlike the other two people who replied to your thread, I actually live here.
    There are times when I find it excrutiatingly dull and lonely. The winters here are very long, cold and grey. Very grey. On the whole (of course there are exceptions), I find Swiss people rather cold, superior and unfriendly. Customer service is often rude.
    If you have a job and a husband then I expect you will be alright, though. Whatever anyone says, I truly believe that people, however rich or poor they are, come to Switz purely for economic reasons - if I didn't have a job, then I would not stay here.
