37. Because we love our HOME country

Mon Apr 3, 2017, 11:26 AM

Apr 2017

At least for me. I lived in Germany and Switzerland until a month ago and I came home because I want to fight in the Resistance.
And...I couldn't find a job in Switzerland. Unemployment there is about 2% and competition is stiff. I only speak English and know enough words in German, Italian and Spanish to say hello, good bye and thank you. Sure I could have taken lessons but they were EXPENSIVE in Switzerland, just like everything else there. Housing, food and entertainment cramped our lifestyle so we came back to our home here. Just sharing my experience.
