Swiss perspective on EP 1 & 2
It's so funny as a Swiss person myself to see Jimin & Jungkook in my own country 🥹 I'm so happy to see them appreciate sights that are familiar to me.
I thought it might be fun to bring you my perspective on those episodes and some of my thoughts on certain details XD
Some things were so hilarious like it made me laugh so much
Firstly it brought me so much joy to see them at Migros 🥹 This is a store everybody goes to and basically all Migros resembles each other.
What was so funny is that Jungkook basically stole a plastic bag from the fruit/vegetable section and used it to pack their things 🤣🤣🤣🤣 That's not something swiss people would do. Plastic bags are solely for fruit/vegetable (if you buy any) and then you're supposed to buy additional bags at the cashier. They even had enough money left to do it since a bag is 20cents. So the fact that they are both millionaire but took a plastic bag instead of buying one was so hilarious 🤣 they were lucky because the cashier could have said something but they got away with it thankfully lol
Another thing that made me laugh is when they were at Caumasee and Jungkook ordered a hot tea to pour into ice instead of ordering a regular Ice tea. I was like "Noooooooo" because Ice tea is kind of a big deal in Switzerland, we have very famous Ice tea that everyone drinks. I was looking forward for them to try it but he did this instead XD I was so sad 🤣 My dream of them trying Ice tea is slipping away.
Another thing was them buying that instant pasta dish like 🤣🤣🤣 We don't really have convenience store like in Asia where the food there is good ect. Usually that pasta thing you find at Coop is really a desperate thing to buy. Like we wouldn't buy it because it is really bad. Maybe someone would buy it if there was nothing left when the store is about to close at 7pm. So seeing them take it I was like "Noooo" 🤣🤣 but thank god Jungkook managed to make it better 🥹🫶🏻
Another thing I want to note is Jimin's ability to drive in the mountains. Usually it's a bit harder to drive there and I'm sure Jimin isn't really used to it but I think he drove very well. (In some places it can be a bit dangerous because people are so used to it that they drive really fast and unsafely). But I agreed on their comment that USUALLY swiss people don't drive very aggressively which is good, especially since it's foreign to them. JK rode his motorcycle also well (sometimes we are annoyed at bikers because they drive unsafely too but JK was very good)
Funny thing when they were at the first restaurant, at first they tried eating with forks and such and it made me laugh when they started eating with their hands xD in a restaurant as classy as that one seemed to be we usually wouldn't do that so it made me smile 🤭
I find it absolutely criminal to give them only 100 francs per day for 2. In Switzerland for a day it's practically nothing and I find it's a bit of a shame they can't enjoy everything switzerland has to offer fully. But then at the end of episode 2 I was really relieved to see them at that fancy restaurant (clearly they aren't that strict about budget because that one would cost way more than 100chf.) So my mind was eased. I don't want to see them eating fast food every day lol
I really hope they will try the fondue 🥹
Switzerland is really big on trains and their ponctuality, so if Jikook did not run fast enough the doors could have closed in on them and they would have missed it XD I was glad they made it in time. It felt so nice to see them riding our train 🥹 I absolutely adore train rides here (even if it's expensive as fuck). I hope they'll get to take other trains in future episodes.
Overall I adore seeing them in my country, it's a very surreal feeling. And them saying "it's like a fairytale" "are we in a storybook?" Reminds me just how beautiful Switzerland really is. For us it became somewhat normality, even if we see beautiful landscape everyday we can be a bit blasé lol we don't always stop and appreciate it. (I try to do it every once in a while when I go by the lake to take it all in and remind myself just how magical it is.)
Here's a little picture from my town:
So it felt really good to hear them saying all those praises just to remind myself once again how lucky I am to live in this country 🥹
If I heard JK correctly there is a chance jikook came to my town (AND I MISSED THEM? I SWEAR THAT I LOOKED WHEN THEY WERE HERE BUT SOMEHOW WAS IN DENIAL THEY WOULD COME 😭😭) So maybe jikook walked in front of my house 🫠 I would go crazy lololol but we'll have to wait and see in future episodes if they did. Maybe they didn't stop there but how could Jungkook know that name if they didn't drop by? We'll see.
Anyway that was my two cents on their swiss experience so far and I'll make a similar post next week if I notice something interesting!!
