I've been to switzerland and I can't say I was very impressed. It's not drastically different from France. It had cute little towns that remind me of the towns we have up north in Quebec like St-Sauveur but older. I mean they are cute and the nature around is nice too, but there is nothing much to do. I like big cities so I get a bit bored once I realize i've been on the main street for the third time that day.

There are nice places like the famous library in St-Galen or this church somewhere around there:

Anyways, it's nice but I would not put it in my top 10 places to visit, I think the world has many more interesting place. I can't wait to travel, there are so many places I want to see it's impossible to pick one to answer your question.

I'm going to visit Eastern Europe this summer (after I finish my semester abroad in Warsaw), I guess Asia is next on the places i'd like to visit.

Eastern Europe is quite interesting. I've been to Russia, which is very beautiful. I have one piece of advice, though.

Do not, for the love of all things holy, even suggest that you are American. They will give you a death glare unless you convince them otherwise. Luckily, I corrected them in Russian, that I am in fact Australian and they gave me a discount

It's alright, I'm Canadian :) I always make sure I have a little canadian pin on my backpack when I travel, it really does make a difference in the way people treat you.

I'm probably not going to Russia. I think i'll visit Poland, Bielarussia, Ukraine and maybe Romania.

But...the chocolate. The chocolate is the best, right?

Yes it's amazing. Lind is my favorite chocolate :)

I've had Swiss chocolate in other European cities, but if I could grab some straight from Switzerland I'd feel content. I actually have some family that lived there for a while.
