Been through there a couple of times. You're lucky to have been living in such a place. So much history and so much beauty nearby.

“Don't be so gloomy. After all it's not that awful. Like the fella says, in Italy for 30 years under the Borgias they had warfare, terror, murder, and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci, and the Renaissance. In Switzerland they had brotherly love - they had 500 years of democracy and peace, and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock.” -- Orson Welles, as Harry Lime

Haven't been there for a few years now but I used to spend several days a year in Geneva on business trips - it's a very cool place - one of my favorites in Europe, for sure.

Actually Switzerland has had a whole bunch of civil wars, the last one as late as the 1840s, and for five centuries its number one export was mercenary soldiers.
