In '''Switzerland''' people speak three different languages, depending on the area you are hanging around: [[Germany|German]] in the north and east, [[Italy|Italian]] in the south and [[France|French]] in the western part of the country. There is a large percentage of foreigners, as well as many tourists. Most people will be able to understand some English.
Hitchhiking works very good in '''Switzerland''', especially in the mountain regions and small country roads, where it is quite common to pick up wanderers and hitchhikers. It's also quite easy to get lifts with truck drivers from [[Germany]] to [[Italy]] and back. There are not that many service stations along the highways, and some are not open 24 hours. I didn't know they had service stations there.
Since the mid-December 2008 (no jobs, seriously) Switzerland is the [[Schengen Agreement]], and long existed cross-border passport checks are on a way to be abolished. I should have visited New York City before this happened.
