As you start school, are you expecting and uneasy about everyday life in Switzerland? Present the Swiss study abroad life cheats of the SHMS graduate sister, eating, wearing, living and traveling are no problem!
As an old student studying in Switzerland, I have accumulated a lot of available materials, and this time I will share it with you at once, all of which are dry goods
eat
Alone in a foreign country, the most memorable thing for us is the food of our hometown.
Although the school meal is packed, I also tried the famous cheese fondue in Switzerland, the formal French meal... But as a Chinese, in Rui most want to eat, and the most untidy to eat or we eat Chinese food.
Here are a few Chinese restaurants that I think are very good:
●Lakeside Restaurant (formerly Yuxiangyuan Restaurant)
Address: Grand Rue 28 1820 Montreux Switzerland
The spicy pot in this shop is a must.
The first time I entered the store, I smelled the familiar smell of a "June Snow" dry pot shop. Choose from ribs, chicken wings, crispy sausages, duck palms to each other into a pot, side dishes can be added tofu bamboo, potatoes, black fungus... Cracked Wall Recommended!
People who don't like to eat spicy, you can order a little spicy Oh!
● Bestley Restaurant
地址:Rue De Theatre 161820 Montreux Switzerland
I came here with my friends to eat hot pot, and according to my friends in the north, the sesame sauce here is the best in Switzerland to eat in all the hot pot restaurants!
But the most attractive point for me here is that the amount of meat here is very sufficient, to show you a picture:
There was also a small episode here that impressed me with this restaurant.
At that time, it was the Mid-Autumn Festival, my classmates and I came here to celebrate, halfway through the meal, the boss suddenly brought a moon cake, which really surprised and delighted us.
Although it is only a small moon cake, it may also be just the boss's marketing means. But that scene really touched me a little: meeting his compatriots in his hometown, the reunion of people and the moon, is really a very beautiful thing!
● Finally, I would like to recommend a Chinese Super League store, the location is opposite the lakeside restaurant.
There are many Chinese specialty snacks, instant noodles, etc. inside.
But U1S1 may be a little expensive ~ Every time we go to eat a spicy pot, we will first go to the supermarket to scaveng for a small snack, buy some drinks and take them to the store to drink.
That should have been our happiest time!
wear
I don't know if you have any feelings, european and American clothing brands, generally not very friendly to petite Asian women.
I'm one of those petite Asian women... Especially when it comes to black five, there is no chance to chop your hands.
Finally, I found myself in Zara, HM's children's clothing brand. (With my body type, wearing the largest size for boys is no problem) and children's clothing is cheaper than adult models, why not enjoy it?
Of course, if you want to buy luxury goods, you can go to the big city of Geneva and the capital Bern. But to be honest, Swiss discounts aren't particularly strong. Whether it is cosmetics, skin care brands, the same is true.
If you must go shopping, or go to the junction of Switzerland and Italy, there is an outlet called Fox Town, where my classmates once bought a 300 euro Burberry men's trench coat, super cost-effective~
live
Accommodation this piece, usually go to school we all live in the dormitory.
I was staying in a double room with a large window and a great view of Leysin. The dormitory is heated 24 hours a day, and in winter, you only need to wear short sleeves indoors, sometimes the sun shines in, and the sun shines in, and it will sweat hot!
Friends also live in single rooms, privacy will be better, there are solo guards.
How can studying in Switzerland not travel? Travel accommodation I first recommend airbnb (Airbnb).
When you go to Northern Europe with friends during the holidays, it feels great to stay in a homestay, first of all, the room rate is cheap, you can cook together, play games together, and have a snowball fight in front of the room. I remember that at that time, we also taught the landlord's little brother to make dumplings
Yes
Due to the topography, the most commonly used means of transport in Switzerland is the train.
Students are even more entitled to a 50% discount. At that time, I also got a card called "after seven", which, as the name suggests, is free to take the car after 7 pm, which greatly saves my transportation expenses! Really don't be too positive!
The picture below is my train ticket when I traveled to Italy at a low price.
Speaking of this, give everyone Amway a must-have APP: SBB, we all the train tickets at that time were purchased on it, easy to get started, and it was super convenient to buy tickets!
In addition to traveling by train, of course, taxis are also possible, and the cost is relatively high.
Taxis in Switzerland generally start at around CHF 7, and cars don't have uniform signs or colours like in the country.
There are all kinds of taxis on the road, the only thing in common is that they all have taxi roof signs. You can also use Uber, which costs a little less than a taxi.
But unfortunately, I haven't tried any of these because they are too expensive...
For me, traveling by train to another city, after getting off the train, mainly choose to walk to the tourist attractions.
At this time, I have to say that another app, that is, Google map, can help us guide the way very clearly.
And I think walking is quite good, the biggest pleasure of studying abroad, is to have a good understanding of the local architectural style, street style, street residents, etc., while walking while watching is the best way.
And this is Switzerland, ah, take a photo of the roadside, you can get a beautiful landscape photo.
Every time I share my study abroad experience with you, I can always bring me into the beautiful memories of studying abroad life again.
I hope you can all cherish the moment and enjoy every day of enjoy in Switzerland. And for the students who are going to study in Switzerland, I also hope that you will have no regrets in Switzerland and harvest an unforgettable and beautiful life journey
