15 Worries that Keep the Swiss Awake at Night

Beyond the very poised and unshakeable outwardly appearances of the stoic Swiss is a big brewing cauldron of emotions.

Their worries may be unlike those in the rest of the world. However, they are worrisome enough for the Swiss, anyway. We at Newly Swissed decided to dive into the Swiss psyche and create a list (Surprisingly, it did not take us very long.)

So, dear world, let us assure you: The Swiss do worry like the rest of us, after all! Here are 15 worries that keep the Swiss awake at night:

"With the franc losing its value, I won't be able to afford a vacation anymore."

"I better make a restaurant reservation for next month before it's all booked!"

"What if I forget to stock up on food for Sunday - let alone for a bridge holiday?"

"Swiss dialects are dying out."

"Kids these days are unable to communicate in proper German."

"There are too many tourists."

"There are not enough tourists."

"And I'm concerned that they are not following our world-class traffic rules."

"Where can I find my favorite Swiss bread and cheese while on vacation?"

"And our vacation resort better provide Müesli for breakfast..."

"I hope it will snow this winter. But when it does, hopefully not too much."

"Politics are turning too right/left wing."

"If my train is delayed, I will be late for the fondue party..."

"Those Swiss who shop in Germany are going to destroy the economy."

"And my apartment will smell of curry if an Indian neighbor moves in downstairs!"
