One thing I can say about travelling is that every place is generally the same. The cultures and governments may be different, and architectural, food, and currency differences, but at the end of the day, it's just another place. Even law, while there may be some crazy little loop holes, or ways of approaching specific subjects (for example "blue laws" which don't make sense today), most laws around the world are similar and they are all based on one thing...common sense. This is where dictatorships fail, because while the rule of law states one thing, the leaders can say another and people have to follow or disappear. <br /><br />If you did decide to move to Switzerland, just to let you know it generally takes around 2 years to actually settle and be a part of the way things work...but this is from my personal experience of course. I would imagine changing states wouldn't be as much of a culture shock to the system as moving country, but then again, it's just another place, whether it's half an hour drive away, or on the other side of the world.Ingwahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11696008351357903141noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9525106.post-58674399065256645232011-03-23T12:59:10.212-04:002011-03-23T12:59:10.212-04:00Wow, Mark.

We take a lot for granted here in the US, having obviously known no other way.<br />I think it can be difficult to imagine living under a dictatorship. However, there are times when I wonder what it would be like to be Switzerland...kathrynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06152568985075401447noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9525106.post-71511884744862442742011-03-22T03:51:38.059-04:002011-03-22T03:51:38.059-04:00Thought provoking and particulary well writtenThought provoking and particulary well writtenAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
