The only good thing about Switzerland is their nature, I'm not to fond of the traditions/laws and the citizens are to damn cold and narrow-minded. But that's just my experience.
On the contrary, i'm a big fan of Gruyere cheese.
Good luck though, maybe you will like it.

There's something mysterious about Switzerland.
You never hear anything bad happening there; no riots, no terrorist attacks, nothing. The people are amongst the happiest in the world. Weather's nice, lots of open countryside, scenery beautiful. Some of the cities are a bit overcrowded but hey ho. Pretty relaxed on gun ownership (Americans will like that). Never gets involved in wars, generous welfare system, a haven for offshore banking. Not a member of the EU (yay!).
It's as though the bankers long ago decided this is neutral territory and a good place to put their money.
At 55 I don't need to worry too much about finding work as I'll be eligible for OAP in 5 minutes.
Flying time from Britain...90 minutes.
And if I get fed up, buy a one-way bus ticket to that Zurich clinic.
Where do I sign up?
How about locals who will make you feel very unwelcome and be very unfriendly?

Maybe you just had a bad experience and maybe I don't care anyway. Not exactly a camp counselor myself.
I take it you lived in one place only, once?
That's not necessarily representative of the country.
