Switzerland is a more exotic country than you think, here are 10 specific examples
Europe's largest watch face is not Big Ben, it is in Switzerland.
1. Clock
Start with the simplest, seemingly most famous thing in Switzerland, but you will surely be surprised to know that this place has the largest watch face in Europe. Of course, the largest continent is bigger than Big Ben.
It is the clock at St. Peter's Church in Zurich.
2. Sprinklers
If you go to Zurich, Switzerland for the first time, don't take your time in surprise and try to count how many fountains there are.
The city of Zurich has 1224 drinking fountains, and this is probably also the city where you are not afraid to be thirsty when traveling there, in the amount of 1224 taps, there are plenty of drinking fountains.
3. Mailbox
Normally, we still see that the mailbox has only one slot to drop the mail in, many places have a large sized mailbox so that the delivery person can send the parcel.
But the mailboxes in Switzerland combine both of these functions, a dedicated mailing slot and a door dedicated to parcels.
4. Count with your fingers
Eins = One
The "Like" that we often see has a completely different meaning in this watch country. When counting with fingers, the Swiss also use their thumbs to express the number 1. Don't make the mistake of visiting this beautiful country.
5. Naked mountain
In 2009, the state of Appenzell in Switzerland had to enact a law forbidding climbing in a state of inactivity, after a lot of people complained about the fact that German tourists often climbed the mountain when "naked" .
Two years after the enactment of the ban, a naked mountaineer was temporarily detained and fined 100 Francs.
6. Shelter to avoid nuclear disaster
The concrete door of a public shelter.
It sounded like they were worried, but the law is still the law.
Switzerland requires every house to have a shelter like that, every city or village must have a shelter enough for people who do not have their own cellar. Well, be careful.
7. Green light in the bathroom
Hearing the evidence as they intended to turn the toilet into a nightclub but not. This light is used to prevent drug addicts from coming here for injection, because the green light will make them unable to find the veins in their hands.
8. Support suicide
Yes, you don't read wrong. If you want to commit suicide, you will get help from a nonprofit social organization called Dignitas.
Founder of Dignitas, Mr. Ludwig Minnelli.
The person who wishes to leave will be given a special medicine, their body will gradually fade away, enter a deep coma and then they will leave in peace.
In addition to those seriously ill who wish to commit suicide, there is a proportion of those who seek suicide just because they are "tired of this life too much".
9. Swiss multi-purpose knife
A well-known item, you've probably heard of the phrase Swiss Army Knife. Among those great support tools, the only one who has to turn on champagne is made in Japan, the rest is made entirely in Switzerland.
