Gas about about $0.60 per liter or $2.40 per gallon - about double what it cost in USA at the time
In USA clerks stand up and bag your groceries. In Europe they sit and you bag your own - you are lucky if they have any bags.
I saw the TGV "bullet-train" in the Geneva train station. In 1986 we rode the TGV from Paris to Lyon on the way to Geneva!
I liked the "heavy roof" style of houses in Switzerland
