My initial observations of differences compared to the United States.

^ virtually no different to Russia then:D

I like your list a lot. Very original . For a comparison I list observations that struck me as a Pole living in Switzerland (Bern):

Everything is insanely expensive. Restaurants and bars in particular. Most people don't eat out often.

Public spaces (and private too) are very well-maintained. Grass is kept short everywhere, including hills by cities.

Most of Swiss people are very serious about certain rules and regulations. E.g. which towel one is supposed to use to dry plates and which one to dry hands.

Swiss foods are simple though heavy. They value tradition. They love cheese and potatoes (at least in kanton Bern).

Few people are homeless.

Things put out in streets are not supposed to be taken unless explicit information "to be taken" is placed on them.

Waiters and waitresses are not as polite (or submissive?) as in Poland. They are also not necessarily young (unlike in Poland).

People disregard red lights: pedestrians and bikers would go when there are no cars, despite red lights.

Police is lenient, non-aggressive; no fines for minor transgressions like bike riding on a sidewalk or lack of lights on bike etc.

Women dress modestly. Many dress almost like men. No bright colors, little attention seeking.

Swiss people are not loud.

They tend to respect privacy, don't ask personal questions straight. But many like to gossip.

Religion is practiced mostly by older people (though this observation might be biased and accurate only for academic environment).

Young women have long hair just like in Poland.

Every house has a shared washing machine.

Buildings seem very solid, like Polish ones and unlike some of British or American (the ones with wooden constructions).

Heating systems in old houses are rather poor and ineffective.

No gas installations in most houses.

People seem very money-conscious. Swiss people bring lunch with them from home, tend not to buy lunch at a workplace.

Many Swiss people eat no breakfast. They start work early.

Vocational education system is very good and compatible with job market needs. Unemployment is low.

Swiss people do a lot more planning than Poles. Detailed plans and schedules, workplans, day plans, even everyday meetings (e.g. for lunch) are planned and discussed in detail. They are very serious about planning even minor details. Little spontaneity but on the other hand things go smoothly.

Swiss people value modesty a lot. They are slightly reserved, distanced, don't make friends easily. But it seems that they are rather serious about friendship (once they befriend you, they are good friends).

Swiss people don't joke a lot.

Salaries are large. Lots of people (in particular women) work only part-time. It is possible to survive on a part-time salary (actually even as little as 20-40%) - something inconceivable in Poland.

Public transportation is very expensive and perfectly organized. One can get everywhere by bus, tram or train in a short time.

Cities are small. Distances are short. Cities have very uneven surfaces - lot of streets go unhill or downhill.

Swiss people have some ambivalent attitude to German people.

Swiss have little idea about Eastern Europe (make little difference between Poland, Romania or Bulgaria) and most of them are not interested in the East. Many seem to like e.g. Canada and Sweden (as they see similarities to their own country).

Swiss people are strongly attached to their birthplace - particular villige, particular region, they speak local dialects, differentiate between places within small distances.

Most Swiss people speak poor English. Many (including Swiss German speakers) also consider high German a foreign language.

Generally, Swiss people seem trustful. Many are kind.

Also, people seem rather slow to talk and walk (but this might only refer to Bern).

Church bells ring often, loudly and for long times, despite that religiosity is rather declining among Swiss people.
