Cab ride to the hotel

We grab a cab in Zurich and head from the airport to our hotel. The first thing I notice is that the Swiss people are gigantic. The men are 8-9 feet tall. The women, even larger.
I see them loping across the street. They’re tall and thin and they make no noise as they move, except when they reach up to tear an odd leaf off a tree. There’s a rough, rumbling sound when they chew that makes me uncomfortable.
Why isn’t this talked about in the outside world? More to come…
