This morning, in Zurich, I was waiting for a friend to return to his in-house parking lot. The door to the parking lot (garage) was open. While I was waiting, three people passed by. The first one just looked. The second one looked and said "nice". The third one walked into the parking lot, looked around, and commented: "'s sieht guat aus, tip-top." (The lot looks good, well done.)

Only in Switzerland. The good news is, people care about you and their environment. This is quite unlike some other places on this world where you could be bleeding to death and nobody would notice. The bad news, of course, is that people care about you, whether you want it or not.
