Not so Tiktok star Lydia Keating. She is delighted with our country.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;Shame on you that your country is so expensive,&#8221; rages German influencer Fibii (18) on Tiktok. And pop singer Robbie Williams (50) also turned his back on Switzerland some time ago. Not because of the prices. &#8220;Switzerland is too boring,&#8221; was his opinion of our country.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You could almost think that all celebrities and influencers have a bad opinion of Switzerland. But that is not the case. US influencer Lydia Keating (29) proves this. She has 1.7 million followers on TikTok alone.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Even the alleyways are beautiful in Switzerland<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In a video on TikTok, the social media star raves about the cleanliness of Zurich. The trottoire and underpasses are extremely clean, says the US-American. &#8220;You could lick them!&#8221;<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The 29-year-old would be amazed: even chewing gum is removed from the streets.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Swiss look funny<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">She then turns to the topic of safety. Lydia is surprised that people in Switzerland don&#8217;t secure their bikes with a lock and aren&#8217;t afraid of them being stolen.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Unlike her influencer colleagues, she has almost nothing to complain about. There was only one thing that embarrassed the influencer: the looks from other people on the street. But she has now got used to it. She thought people would stare at her, but the &#8220;Swiss-German look&#8221; was completely normal. In the USA, people ignore each other and don&#8217;t look at each other. Things are different in Switzerland.<\/p>\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/embed\/v2\/7345111857075621163?lang=en-US=https%3A%2F%2Fswissmade.direct%2Fblog%2Fus-tourist-cant-believe-how-great-switzerland-is%2F=oembed<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It was only at the beginning of January that a video went viral in which a Tiktoker rants about a visit to a Swiss McDonald&#8217;s. &#8220;We paid almost 50 euros for two menus. Is that okay?&#8221; the young woman says angrily. &#8220;I would have expected someone to put this in my mouth and massage my feet.&#8221; Lydia&#8217;s positive view of Switzerland, on the other hand, is a welcome change.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A few words about the Swiss<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">First of all, the Swiss are known for their discretion and restraint. But don&#8217;t be fooled! Behind these neutral faces lies an enormous curiosity. Imagine you&#8217;re like an unexpected piece of chocolate in an already very tasty cake &#8211; of course people are going to take a look!<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Switzerland is also a country of diversity and precision, from watches to chocolate, which is also reflected in its fashion. So if you turn up in an outfit that screams &#8220;Made somewhere else&#8221;, you&#8217;re sure to attract a few glances. It&#8217;s like walking through a sea of pastel shades in neon colors &#8211; striking, fascinating and a little mysterious!<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But don&#8217;t worry, it&#8217;s mainly a mixture of admiration and curiosity. The Swiss value quality and individuality, so maybe they&#8217;ll try to copy some of your unique style!<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And finally, Switzerland is small and in some areas you rarely see international visitors. They are like a walking window to the world and who wouldn&#8217;t want to take a quick look inside?<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So the next time you&#8217;re subjected to the scrutinizing gaze of the Swiss, just smile back and think: &#8220;I&#8217;m here to up the style factor!&#8221; Who knows, maybe you will set the next big fashion trend in the Alps.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Influencers repeatedly complain about the expensive prices in Switzerland after visiting the country.
