Yesterday I was at a party, a big huge Swiss family party. This is nothing I'm used to, since when I had a family myself it was not very big. But it's great. Everybody know each other, obviously more than I know them or them me, but I can see and feel there is a love between them and an acceptance for differences.
It is nice to feel a part of that, even though it's just for an evening.
Makes me think about other foreigners talking about how difficult it is to get to know ze Swiss. This is in part true, but it is also up to us coming here, trying to be a part of society, to try and fit in and accept that it ain't that easy to assimilate day one. We foreigners also have to make an effort. And I believe once you do, and once you're accepted into a family like yesterday, you're there to stay. That gives me a warm and fuzzy feeling.
