for us (oh so proud) Swiss, the biggest shock at immigration was, when the EC-countries started to have seperate immigration-lines in Europe for "EC" and "others" and we had to stan in-line at/with "others".

second shock, about 6-months old only, was, when the US wanted to exclude the Swiss from the Visa-waiver-program (as our passports were not electronic-readable) - yes baobab - our swiss diplomatic heroes were able to get another grace-period to adapt (I think another 2 years) - because our administration can't provide electronic-readable passports faster .... (I started to believe that the clichee about us was getting reality: mountains, cows, mocking-bird-watches, heidi, cigar-smoking-bankers, insurance companies sitting on their gold/monney like uncle dagobert and yes swiss chocolates).
