Being Black in Switzerland | Afro Review - Things to Know Before Going to Zurich, 3.5 Fros
When you think of Switzerland, the first couple things that come to mind are the Swiss Alps, Swiss watches, Swiss cheese, and of course Swiss chocolate (yummmm).
Yes, all things that I want in my life! But too often we ignore the other side of these beautiful countries. I always focus on the diversity I see in new cities and what it’s like as a black person visiting the area. After a close look during my visit, Switzerland got a respectable 3.5 out of 5 fros.
One of the most expensive countries in the world to visit or live in, but also one of the most beautiful and geographically diverse countries I’ve visited in Europe. So how did they end up with 3.5 Fros?
Enjoy the video!

3-country borders #travel #switzerland #shorts
Have you ever been to a border between three countries? I had an awkward experience at the Basel border between France, Germany and Switzerland, since I wanted to talk in to the camera and start a vlog there, but it was really loud and full of people on a night out ???? I guess that corner of the Rhine doesn't have so many apartments near it, so noise pollution isn't such a big deal, I just thought it was funny!
Let me know any tri/quad borders you've been to! I always remember the one from the Simpsons Movie, which I didn't realise at the time was fictional and made no sense...

Switzerland and its uniqueness
See Switzerland in one day!

????Dwayne Parton
Today we're going to show you how to visit all of Switzerland in just one day. Switzerland is a tiny little country and You would think it wouldn't take long to see the whole thing. I mean just drive around for a couple of days by some chocolate eats and cheese And your set right. Here's the thing every Swiss city and every Valley is a little bit different making them unique in their own way. You can't really visit Zurich maybe lucerne hike up the Rigi get a picture of the Matterhorn and really get a feel for what Switzerland is really like. It would take you a great deal of time to really see Switzerland but fortunately, I'm going to show you how to see Switzerland in just one day. Okey so I know what you are thinking you are thinking Gotthart pass. That is the best way to see Switzerland in a day. No. We are still on our way to see Switzerland in a day. But the tunnel had so much traffic we decided to come over the pass. And it is cold up here there is snow. I even took of my Birkenstocks that's how cold it is. even the swiss are freezing. So we are on our way to see Switzerland in a day. We are now in Bellinzona and it has warmed up a little bit so I put my Birkenstocks back in of course. This city has got to be one of my favorite Swiss city's. The old city is really cool with all of the arches and everything and there are a bunch of castles but unfortunately, this is not the place to see Switzerland in one day. We have to go to Melide which is a little bit further and right on the Italian border. We are now at the swiss miniature park and this is how you see Switzerland in one day. this Park is a collection of module buildings from all over Switzerland making a tinier Switzerland inside of tiny Switzerland. obviously, you have are not really visiting Switzerland but this is about as close as you can get in one day and it -is way cheaper. you can walk around tinier Switzerland and see all of these places from an areal perspective. The detail is pretty crazy. Everything moves the cable cars the train the water wheels. Except for the plains don't fly which is disappointing. And the cars. the cars don't drive. and this one is a little bit scratched up and dirty which is not very swiss. to make up for these disappointments there were some giant turtles and some giant fish at least compared to everything there. I really enjoyed the swiss miniature park and you should definitely check it out I will tag a link in the description below. After visiting Switzerland in just one day we still had the energy to come up to this little restaurant and watch the sunset. it is an amazing place we are looking over Lugano and on into Italy. Is you are ever in the area check out this restaurant the view is amazing. thanks for watching our Video. Have a great day.

I am Ken Abroad, a full-time traveler traveling southeast Asia, currently in Sri Lanka, making Sri Lanka travel vlogs. It is my goal here on this channel to visit every country in southeast Asia and bring you along the journey.
You won’t see much tourist places in my videos, I rather like to show the “real” sides of each country in my videos. Where do the local people go to eat? Where do they hang out? How do the locals travel through the country? Stuff like that.
There will be almost daily uploads on this channel, during the next months from Sri Lanka. I will be traveling Sri Lanka, showing you around local places and try lots of different Sri Lankan food. Join the journey if you are interested in experiencing Sri Lanka now from a more authentic local point of view.
