Switzerland : Zurich

Heading Zurich

4 June 2012

Train delayed and we have to changed train and finally arrived Zurich. Surprisingly, we can enter Zurich without any passport checking at the train station. We asked around for direction coz no more google map :( As we are a bit terpinga-pinga, an old man asked us if we need help. Wah. I realised that even though we cant read their signage, the people speaks english and more pleasant compared to Italianese. Its freezing cold here and i only have one jacket to cover me up.

Finally arrived at hotel and we have to climb the stairs as our room at level 4.  Mak aih. Patah pinggang. Rest for a while before heading back to the street. No line for calls or sms. So we have to purchased internet @ CHF 10 for 3 hours from the hotel.

Kebab cafe's are easy to find and its expensive. I'm aware that cost of living in Switzerland is high - one bottle of coke is CHF 3 = RM 10. Our dinner that night je dah CHF 33. Purchased return ticket to Luzern for tomorrow at CHF 46/pax which is not very smart because if we purchase online earlier we can get 50% discount... sigh.

Zurich - different  from any of the cities in Italy. Two words perhaps describe Zurich - Pleasant but Costly :) Lots of boutique and shopping mall around the train station. Bus and train depart precisely on time. Clean and structured road. Tidak ada peminta sedekah atau penjual jalanan. Decent clothing by the locals and everything seems calm and relax.

Hmmm... two more nights and i'm back home.
