i think the 3 kisses is just tradition. the english world uses 1 kiss. in spain it's 2 kisses (i think italy and france too). and in some places it's 3.

maybe it's overcompensation for the anal side of swiss culture.

my mother is swiss. she goes back every year, but she's glad she emigrated to canada because swiss society is far too rigid for her liking.
