Switzerland will get to speak about banks, mountaintops, loud noises reminiscent of yodelling, LSD, particle accelerators, and leather-based couture, amongst others. Then again, Sweden will get sandbanks, rooftops, silence and an absence of yodelling, Northern Lights, and modern trend.
Discover who will get what and you will note they’re opposites to one another. Sweden is open to negotiation, says the mock official.
Every week after this marketing campaign video was launched on the net, Jacques Pitteloud, Switzerland’s ambassador to the USA, in a video, spoke concerning the variations between the 2 international locations within the States.
