Somewhat off topic, but switzerland is ludicrously expensive. I recently visited for a week in Zurich/Bern and the best way to describe the prices is like you are permanently stuck in a theme park or airport. Starbuck Coffee? $7. Can of soda at a convenience store? $3. Any fine dining for two? $300-400

I asked one of the taxi drivers what a cashier makes and he said $80k. With prices that high, It almost feels like a house of cards. I dont understand why exchange rates dont drastically bring these prices into alignment. Seems like importing goods from other countries would completely destroy this ecosystem.
