I had never thought of travelling to Zurich only to take part in the Street Parade. But back in 2008 some friends wanted me to go there and I did not regret it. It is a real special parade with many friendly people in a very nice city near the Lake Zurich. The central station was also decorated and used for the party, and during night time the big station hall became one of the largest dancing clubs in the world. I can only tell people to go there and enjoy the great ambiance!<br>

... I got from supposedly such a "prestigious" establishment?!?!?! It was torture!! That's why I went to the bathroom instead. They didn't want to spend money on the tourists so gave them the cheapest plastic bags possible and keep the nice ones for the locals yet they want the tourists to spend money there and I'm sure that the majority of the business during the summer is the tourists. Damn. They need to learn that it's all about the cost of doing ...

... policeman with (as I mentioned before) a really, really big gun. I do not even know what that really means, but I smiled as large as I could and pleasantly responded that we would get up right this second. After two run-ins with the Swiss police, I was getting a tad nervous about exploring Zurich. However, we started our walk down the Bahnhoffstrasse. At first I was slightly confused as to why here was absolutely no one on this world-famous shopping street on a ...

Just a day trip to see this old city. Lots of brightly painted buildings with ornate oriel windows. Most of the windows were carved with scenes or fancy designs, sometimes painted, sometimes both. Lots of fountains and statues. Found a chocolate shop and pigged out.

... have there own values!! Our hotel was expensive and didn't include breakfast (none of them seemed to), so the next morning we headed back in to the main station to book our tickets to Paris and to find some breakfast. The previous night's party venue was now set up as an expo for Indian tourism! We booked ourselves in to the city tour at 1pm and then walked down Bahnhoff Strasse which was very pleasant to look at (couldn't afford anything in the ...

... el avion que FINALMENTE nos llevaria a tierras inglesas. Luego de un vuelo bastante emocionante, ¡¡¡¡por fin llegamos a Londres!!!! Estabamos todos muy contentos (algunos mas exaltados que otros), y un poco mareados, ya que el vuelo conto con mas de alguna turbulencia que nos dejo con el estomago en la mano. Claro que la sensacion de felicidad y ansiedad ¡¡¡¡ya se hacia casi incontrolable!!!! ¡¡¡¡HABIA LLEGADO POR FIN AL PAIS DE MIS SUEÑOS!!!!! ='D

We learned from our neighbors that in November and December children in Zürich love to make candles at public "Kerzenziehen" spots. The biggest and perhaps best known place is the "Zürcher Kerzenziehen am Bürkliplatz" (Zürich Candle-Pulling at ...

... it.<br><br>Notes on our way back from Lucerne: It is a lovely Old World city. The wooden bridge over the lake with its paintings of the history of Lucerne was really impressive and beautiful. Considering that it was done over 300 years ago is amazing. The Jesuit church, just a short walk from the end of the bridge, was just as impressive. The painted ceiling, the side altars, the main altar...WOW! It was glorious. Walking ...
