Sometimes it is such a fun to live in Switzerland!
I don't know if this happened in the other cantons too, but in Geneva every first Wednesday of February there is the so-called 'siren test day'.
I was walking home from the neighbor village at around 13:30 when I started to listen to weird noises until I recognized where it comes from: the sirens we see at the top of some big buildings. It is not a common noise so you don't have how not to realize it. Plus it is super loud and it terrifies you when you don't know what it is about. Of course there was nobody around me and since I didn't see people leaving their houses and running to the next atomic shelter and also after have looked up and didn't see any missile or airplane with an attacking face so..I didn't worry much, though the siren noise was really bizarre and looked like the alien communication in the "War of the Worlds"...
So, one new thing about life here...Maybe there is also a 'shelter check up' day...oh that I want to see...
