Starting a new expat posting can often feel like being thrown into a bear pit, but Bern has an actual real life bear pit! The historic Baerengraben, where the city's emblematic animals were kept, is empty now, but the famous Bears of Bern are still there, in a humane enclosure nearby. This is only one of the ways that the city keeps its old traditions alive, despite its modern economy, now that the old craft of the watchmakers of the Bernese Seeland has developed into a variety of precision engineering industries.
