Switzerland and Slovakia's governments have devised a plan to move our citizens to Switzerland where we will be socially, economically, religiously, and culturally accepted. We need to leave Slovakia before someone dies from a mudslide that is why I urge you to move to Switzerland with the rest of us. ]]> 2017-02-28 20:26:19 UTC https://padlet.com/severnfiregal/tc98wn7rxd13/wish/156860594 Holidays severnfiregal https://padlet.com/severnfiregal/tc98wn7rxd13/wish/156878074 Additionally,  we share many similar holidays such as Easter, Christmas, Three Kings Day, Labor Day, New Years Day and New Years Eve/Sylvester’s Day. However we don't share All Saints' Day, St. Nicholas Day, Cyril and Methodius Day, or Victory over Fascism Day but they won't and cannot stop us from celebrating them in our own households in Switzerland. Swiss are understanding and influential people. ]]> 2017-02-28 21:45:59 UTC https://padlet.com/severnfiregal/tc98wn7rxd13/wish/156878074 Cuisine severnfiregal https://padlet.com/severnfiregal/tc98wn7rxd13/wish/156878198 Switzerland is influenced by surrounding countries and is going through a rapid modernization of daily life in Switzerland that is reflected in changes in the country’s habits and cuisine. Cheese dishes is the typical choice of the Alpine regions. The national dish, fondue neuchâteliose (a mixture of melted Emmentaler and Gruyère cheeses and wine into which bread cubes are dipped), and raclette (cheese melted over a fire and scraped over potatoes or bread) are a globally popular dish. Most importantly their cuisine is not specifically defined as it is open to interpretations and influences such as our wide range of gruels, boiled and stewed vegetables, roasted and smoked meats, dairy products, especially sheep’s milk cheese (bryndza), and soups; which Swiss have a national stew of their own known as Zürcher Eintopf, or Zurich-style beef stew . A similarity between our food choices is the use of a potato, we use it for dumplings mixed with bryndza and Swiss use it for fried shredded potatoes. ]]> 2017-02-28 21:46:37 UTC https://padlet.com/severnfiregal/tc98wn7rxd13/wish/156878198 Arts severnfiregal https://padlet.com/severnfiregal/tc98wn7rxd13/wish/156878489 A common practice of the arts is wood carving , though our music themes are vastly different. Swiss music themes include: love and longing for the homeland, as well as historical, patriotic, pastoral, and hunting themes. Whereas our choices fro music themes include: drawn from both classical and folk traditions, opera, symphony orchestras and opera ensembles. but again our inhabiting of Switzerland could affect the type or variety of music produced and sold in Switzerland. Our arts has been defined by the Renaissance, we can perform in some of the most amazing theatres in Switzerland such as: Theater Basel, Bern Theatre, Grand Théâtre de Genève, Lausanne Opera, Theater St. Gallen, Théâtre de Rosimond, and Zürich Opera House. ]]> 2017-02-28 21:48:47 UTC https://padlet.com/severnfiregal/tc98wn7rxd13/wish/156878489 Religion Part 1 severnfiregal https://padlet.com/severnfiregal/tc98wn7rxd13/wish/156878567 Our Religious population]]> 2017-02-28 21:49:22 UTC https://padlet.com/severnfiregal/tc98wn7rxd13/wish/156878567 Religion Part 2 severnfiregal https://padlet.com/severnfiregal/tc98wn7rxd13/wish/157430758 Swiss' Religious population is similar in that the base religion is Roman Catholic but still incorporates other religions unlike us such as Muslim.]]> 2017-03-02 18:20:14 UTC https://padlet.com/severnfiregal/tc98wn7rxd13/wish/157430758 Works Cited severnfiregal https://padlet.com/severnfiregal/tc98wn7rxd13/wish/157431983 Central Intelligence Agency.
