Since I feel somewhat patriotic here, I put up a flag on my terrace\ud83c\udde8\ud83c\udded. I had actually ordered four flags, but that seemed a bit over the top \ud83d\ude05.   <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes, I know that the word \"patriotic\" may seem a little strange in my case, since Switzerland is not my country of birth. That does not bother me, though; I still feel that way. Back in Austria, I didn't think much of patriotism, so I never owned a flag. I could not even tell you when Austrian National Day is \ud83d\ude33.    <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To me, Switzerland is a gem that should be protected and preserved. Of course, there are plenty of idiots here too, which I find very unfortunate, but my love is for the country itself. I also see Switzerland as a very strong country. Surrounded by EU countries, this very small country has nevertheless chosen not to join the EU. That is strength.    <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In any case, I do not feel like a foreigner here, but like a local. After all, I have loved Switzerland, and Sils in the Engadin in particular, since 2018. Quite a few romantic relationships between people last for a much shorter time.  <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Happy birthday, wonderful Switzerland! It is an honor for me to live here \ud83c\udde8\ud83c\udded\ud83c\udde8\ud83c\udded\ud83c\udde8\ud83c\udded! <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I wish all Swiss people (except the primitives, of course) a wonderful National Day.
