Every expat has lived the scene. 

They break a rule they did not know existed. 

Someone corrects them. 

Someone else watches. 

Someone mutters something under their breath.


The tone changes depending on who you are. 

The rule does not. 


Meanwhile, the thing they broke was: 

Not listed anywhere.

Not explained. 

Not mentioned during onboarding. 

Not even pinned in the building.


And everyone acts like you should have absorbed it by osmosis.


Welcome to Switzerland.

We are here to translate the osmosis.
