Welcome, Shung! Our youngest daughter lives in Zurich. We've had the pleasure of visiting your beautiful country many times.

I was lucky enough to have participated in a shooting there match 2 years ago. I admire the Swiss and welcome you to The High Road! Johnny

"Dont worry, my father is Italian (my mother is Swiss) and therefore, I was always an Italian supporter when it came to sport..."

That's funny. I met a girl from the Italian part of Switzerland one time who told me (if I remember correctly, my Italian is disappearing from lack of practice), that:

"Sono italiana per futbol, ma sono svizzera per denaro."

"Sono italiana per il calcio, ma sono svizzera per il denaro"

" As for soccer, I am Italian, but for the money, definately I am Swiss "

You are true. One part of Switzerland, the "ticino" is Italian speaking, and having a border with Italy, but it is truely Switzerland.

As for me, i have nothing from Ticino. I am real italian, from 2 of my grandparents.

I was born in Polcenigo. Many americans know this place, because its only 3 miles away from Aviano..

and in Aviano you find AVIANO AFB... one of the biggest USAFE airbase in continental europe.

btw, I like your signature.. But from what Machiavelli ever wrote, the best is :

Svizzeri sono armatissimi e liberissimi

which means : Swiss people have a lot weapons, and are very free ! and obiously that was always true.
