I guess I know I live in Switzerland when...
I can hear the Alpenhorns playing while I make dinner! This is the 2nd time in two weeks we've heard them practicing outside. I'm kind of getting curious on where they are exactly practicing.

Re: I guess I know I live in Switzerland when...
That's kind of cool (assuming the player don't actually need "practice". If the do, the cool factor rapidly turns to the annoying-as-h@ll factor).
Here is sunny, southern Italy, I always like it when I am up early on a Sat or Sun hanging laundry out and I hear all the different churchbells in the distance. Between the laundry, the churchbells, and the lack of synchronization... I don't know, it just "feels" like southern IT to me.
They are decent players.
We can here the church bells on Sunday too. Which is neat because we are pretty far from the nearest church. So it's a bit bizarre to hear so many going at the same time.

You just made me want to convince my husband to move to southern Italy. I live in Southern Quebec, and somehow I just can't describe the same way.
I haven't been to Quebec since I was a kid (great city though), but I'd agree that this is a different world. Naples and the south get a bad rap. It's true, they have serious issues (trash, property crime, horrible drivers), but even amidst the chaos it's really charming in a simpler way-of-life kind of way, I think. You know, things like churchbells, laundry, kids that play outside w/o playdates, good food w/ pretentious settings, visiting your extended family every Sunday, bringing flowers to the cemetery, etc.
Plus the winters are def better; come on over
!
I dont know if this takes place all over Spain, but where I live you can hear flute music on the weekend. A guy walks around the neighborhood with his bike, playing his flute. When you hear the music, you are supposed to go down to the street with your knives and he sharpens the knives with something on the back of his bike.
My favorite sound in Quebec City are the clip clop of horses from the caleches. I live in a quaint part of old Quebec.
My first night here, my husband set up some atrocious iPad alarm that was supposed to be church bells.
It goes off, I'm alone and I think that's what Quebec sounds like because I live by a bunch of old churches. I was like, "gee I hope they aren't like this all the time," and then I started getting angrier, thinking he moved us into the worst place ever because I couldn't hear anything but church bells.
I didn't realize it was the iPad until he came home, a half hour later. We switched the alarm setting after that.
Okay this wins for the most interesting thing I've heard!
