 My dream country is Switzerland that located on the continent of Europe. The capital of
Switzerland is Bern. I’ve seen lots photos of this country and I think it’s an interesting and beautiful
place in the word. Switzerland is one of the most attractive vacation destination because of it’s lakes,
mountains, snowfall and many interesting place. There are three reasons why I want to stay in
switzerland. The first reason is because Switzerland is surprise to many that how a small country can
be one of the biggest tourist attraction. Same of the most beautiful and interesting place in
Switzerland are mount Pilatus, Swiss national park, and Lake Geneva. The second reason is I'm
interested in the special food such us Älplermagronen, Rösti, and chocolate . Switzerland is very
famous for its delicious and diverse chocolate production. Swiss chocolate is often mixed in various
dishes and is often used as a fondue ingredient. The third reason is the fashion style such us Dirndl
traditional chothes, casual clothes, and Contemporary Green Fashion.

There are three major cultures in Switzerland. The first one is language. Switzerland has four
official languages. The four official languages are German, French, Italian and Romansh. Despite this
diversity of languages, Switzerland has a high level of English language proficiency, and nearly 64% of
Swiss people use more than one language at least once a week. After all, “Bolze” a French-German
"mixed" language in Switzerland, is known to a few. Bolze is more than just a language, it is the main
cultural identity and pride on the outskirts of the Basse-Ville region, Friborg, Switzerland. The second
major cultural of Switzerland is Religion. The most widely practiced religion in Switzerland is Roman
Catholicism which is followed by 45% of the population. There are also Protestants around 35% and
immigration has brought in Islam and Eastern Orthodox 2.5% and 1.5% respectively. Linguistic
diversity with religious formations, where each region that has a linguistic similarity is tightened by
the evenly distributed religious composition. And the last major cultural in Switzerland are the
celebration. There are many celebrations in Switzerland such us as Fasnacht, Swiss National Holiday,
and Fete des Vignerons. all three celebrations are big celebrations in Switzerland.

Indonesia and Switzerland have a Traditional Clothes difference. Switzerland traditional cloth
is called Dirndl. While, Indonesians have many traditional costumes, including Javanese, Sundanese
and Buginese. However, there’s a similarity between Indonesia and Switzerland. Both country
Switzerlands and Indonesians wear the traditional clothes during special celebrations such as folk
festival. There are another difference between Indonesia and Switzerland. Switzerlands love to drink
beer, but not all Indonesian love to drink beer. Switzerland usually drinks a glass of beer to heat their
body in the cold weather. But, both Indonesia and Switzerland love to drink coffee or tea. The last
difference between Indonesia and Switzerland is religion. We know that most population in
Indonesia are moslems while in Switzerland is tend to be Christians. But, we don’t need to worry if
we want to visit Switzerland, because there are several mosques in there, so we have no trouble to
pray while we visit Switzerland. In Indonesia, we also can find so many churches for Christians to
pray.
