One of my girlfriends in the US sent me a chapter from a book called “The Geography of Bliss” by Eric Weiner. The second chapter is about the Swiss and discusses what makes them happy. I read the chapter and can say it rings true for 99% of what Weiner says. For example, early in the chapter, a Swiss man is asked what makes the Swiss happy, he replies "Cleanliness. Have you seen our public toilets? They are very clean."
Wow - just to show how right he is (and how the non-Swiss learn to become part of the clean toilet system), I took a picture of one of the signs in the bathroom stall at Eawag. Every toilet I've been in (anywhere in Switzerland) has a toilet brush prominently displayed and ready for use. In the sign above, there are instructions for what to do what not to do with the
toilet brush. It makes me happy :)
