5. You have a car with excellent suspension to compensate for the massive holes in every road.

7. You now notice when the bartender gives you a lager instead of the white beer you’ve ordered.

8. You don’t like driving more than two hours to get anywhere.

9. You’ve become picky when it comes to fries.

10. You’ve given up trying to go shopping after 6pm because most shops are closed.

11. You no longer think the Swiss have the best chocolate.

12. You don’t like looking at your paycheck; it reminds you of how much taxes you’re paying.
