City of Geneva underground
The soil is a guided city tour of Geneva, Switzerland, I was totally surprised and overwhelmed by the massive underground underground.
Who would have guessed the background the skyscrapers of the banks, apartment buildings, even the riverbed, lake in Geneva has a public life underground where very vibrant, very mysterious place.
Ham atomic bomb
I was his friend was a military expert guide to visit the basement beneath the atomic bomb against a high-rise apartment where his family currently living in Grand County - Saconnex, city center apartment Geneva.Thang machine took us down to a depth of about 20m above the ground, stopping before a door was about 2m wide concrete walls than 1 m thick.
Sometimes the smoke tunnel deep hun do not know what was behind it has a thick steel door an iron hand are very uncertain. This is part of the system against the atomic bomb tunnels in Switzerland. Most large apartment buildings and places important in Geneva also have bomb-proof basement systems such atoms.
Make the work of the VIP, the tunnel system is more solid. My friend explained 20 cm thick steel door with rubber gasket is definitely above the door to prevent the shock wave, a military technical term for the phenomenon of waves generated in the case of an atomic bomb explosion .
Interestingly, anti-bomb tunnels are not state secrets. Any new residents to get new accommodation in apartment buildings are the building management how to use atomic bombs against tunnels, not necessarily in a state of war but also in the case to avoid natural the ear.
Under this tunnel ventilation system, automatic light very sophisticated at the same time that many people living in the basement still do not feel lack of air. Induction system was installed in the basement perfect for people who go to where the bright lights to light after passing itself off.
Above the tunnel against the atomic bomb is 3 floors of underground parking. All systems are automated, without the doorman with red and white horizontal bar with us, go anywhere vehicle owners simply use the smart key is self-opening door, bar to lift the car out on.
The pay parking are made through automated machines. But has no standing around the large underground parking floors clean, never saw a piece of trash on the floor. Swiss citizens living high on top of the world are familiar with the application of advanced technologies in service of life.
Underground train station, airport
Underground Geneva International Airport is the largest train station connected to the Swiss railway system in Europe. This is not just a train station, but also a lively city with full underground services, dining, dancing, entertainment famous young people.
I went to Geneva on the occasion before Christmas should be seen playing young Swiss Noel in basements under the Geneva International Airport.
Most of these people are students, you are a teenager on holiday weekends. They wore strange clothes, hand painted with all kinds of comedy, horror, always hold the hand spray foam shot in the head hair color, clothes you own to create the screen laughing.
Under the Geneva lake for hundreds of kilometers between the French-Swiss border is also a 4-storey underground parking vast, enough for thousands of cars.
At first I just saw the first car to work without seeing the lake bottom, asking him to know your soil, then there is also an underground car parks, can be used as shelter when necessary. Underground parking is considered one of the most underground parking Europe.
Wines like beautiful woman ...
Switzerland is a country without sea and most terrain is mountainous, there is no seafood industry, agriculture, small and only known dairy industry. Because of this, the department store in Switzerland ubiquitous symbols that sold cows and the cow bell collar.
City of Geneva is small but is home to many offices of major international institutions such as banks, WTO, UN, ... should always be of the large international organizations tens of thousands of people live and work the.
Farmers in the Rhône-Alpes poverty level in France near the border with Geneva, Switzerland, has fully exploited this opportunity to get rich. Every week on Saturday morning, the French farmers bring their products to the rural market Ferney-Voltaire to provide customers from flocking to Switzerland.
Ferney Voltaire is the name of a district of Rhône-Alpes French territory. It is also home to the international school tuition free instruction in French have more students are children of Vietnamese people to learn from Switzerland.
Parking for people from Switzerland to France where agricultural markets as well as many cars parking in the big stadium. Among these are many of the family car Vietnam officials.
Agricultural products are mainly sold in the market vegetables, fresh fruits of all kinds of apples, pears, oranges, cherries to cooked smoked beef, butter, milk, sausage, salami, and of course no shortage of wine and the famous French champagne.
Seeing that I stopped watching a few bottles of red wine, farmer Jean-Claude Bertrand warm wine tasting offered by his own hand made from grapes in the garden. Bertrand said the process of traditional winemaking his fourth Dynasty, show me the beauty, the beauty of wine in my hand while pressing urge to taste wine.
Distances can not bring wine to Vietnam, I am reluctant to try wines of Jean-Claude family Rhône-Alpes region. Seeing this, Mr. Bertrand said: "You know, the French have words such as wine beautiful woman, just enjoy and love it was enough but it still tasted like more."

Jobs in Geneva is not easy
People's living standards higher than the Swiss average of people living in other European countries. Switzerland is not participating in the European Union, did not join the euro area should not be affected much by the crisis the euro in danger of collapse.
A Swiss Franc exchange rate is now almost a euro.The that the minimum wage of workers in Geneva by the government is determined 3,000 Swiss francs, while the minimum wage in neighboring France, only 1,000 euro. A Belgian fellow worker I fitted correctly for a large company each month are paid 3,000 euro, after paying taxes and other charges, just over 2,000 euros to the wife and children.
Meanwhile, the only restaurant cum kitchen baby's tummy, portage in Switzerland and after-tax income over 3,000 francs is what the EU is also working people still have that dream.
Many Vietnamese who live in Geneva was much effort to find jobs more easily, but not like in other European countries. Advantages of Vietnamese workers are not hit hard work ha. But the biggest obstacle of the Vietnamese go for a job is more local languages.
The Swiss speak French, German, .. but the employer requires employees always have three or four foreign languages fluently. Only foreign language criteria only, the employee's hard to compete Vietnamese people from other European countries to Geneva to find employment. This does not include competing in the state of unemployment in many European countries are pouring in Switzerland to find work.
