Well, after a week I thought it was time for me to summarise what has been said and to (kind of) answer some points or rather assumptions. Here we go: - (Obviously) generalising is not right but there are some distinctive cultural trends without falling into stereotyping. - (Also obviously) we are all different and there are some of us that are by nature (and nurture?) more inclined (notice the diplomacy?) to plan than others. http://www.myersbriggs.org/my-mbti-personality-type/mbti-basics/judging-or-perceiving.asp - There are some that allege that as there are so many things to do (in Zurich), one needs to plan in advance; and there are some that argue that people are afraid of "doing nothing" (and therefore having no pictures to post in Facebook) ;-) - (Apparently) Swiss ;-) are not so interested in mix or being mixed and prefer to concentrate on one or few people at the time (exact time?); and as there are so many interesting people in Zurich, one needs to split his/her time between them... - ... - One interesting one: an spontaneous invitation for dinner...with one day notice ;-) So, as there are no right or wrong, I would like to just invite the ones and the others (and the in between-ers) to try the dark side and see how it feels. Let's start with small doses of it: a plan/unplanned weekend. Up for it? Happy Züri :-)
