Switzerland – the Singapore of Europe?

In many ways, I think of Switzerland as the ‘Singapore of Europe’ for the following reasons…

1. Its streets are as clean and organised as Singapore
2. Everything in the country is double / triple , even quadraple the prices of stuff in its neighbouring countries – food, hotel, souvenior, transportation, wages etc.
3. It’s the financial ‘safe haven’ of its geographical surroundings. Also, you could see many banks everywhere – UBS, Credit Suizze etc.
4. The Singapore Merlion??? Check out this statue of a lion overlooking Zurich lake
5. Bahnhofstrasse, the rich street of Zurich, reminds me of Orchard road in some ways J
6. Some gardens in Zurich reminds me of the gardens / park in Singapore….now, one is natural and the other, man-made (go figure which is which)... The extreme green of the grass, and blue of the skies  makes it ALMOSt Un-natural......but unlike Singapore it is the true beauty of Switzerland!!!
