I read your post about travel in Switzerland, it was interesting to read about how easy it was to get around.<br /><br />Fruey: We've lived here for 26 years almost. we've just celebrated 20 years of French nationality.<br /><br />Veronica: it was lovely, there was an air of fête. The organisers go to a lot of trouble to make it interesting.Anjihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02562210585479814093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5371210.post-58114354052496802802010-09-23T18:43:05.821+02:002010-09-23T18:43:05.821+02:00Much as I love my Subaru, I am mostly a user of tr...Much as I love my Subaru, I am mostly a user of transit and a walker.

I made an accident with my lovely 15 year old Citroën Xantia. The repair would have cost to much. And buying a new car made me think. I am 67 (of course, on paper only) and I am afraid that in my country they will come with something that people over 70 need a medical checkup every 3 month or are only allowed to drive from midnight to 5 in the morning.<br /><br />Anyway, there is no need to have a car really, our public transport system is so efficient. And, statistically, every inhabitant in Switzerland is living within 300 meters from a public transport station. I am living 100 meters from a station.Voegtlihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17212645092237784919noreply@blogger.com
