So – Switzerland is amazing. Gorgeous and amazing.

To the left of the picture is where we spent yesterday with a test-run at Karneval.

It’s going to be nuts – it already has been.

Once again, I’ve been blessed with having a friend here who’s fed and given me a bed, or I’d have gone broke the first day – it’s the most expensive place I’ve ever been. It’s the most expensive place the nice Norwegian couple I met yesterday have ever been…and they’re from a very expensive place.

The people are wonderful, even the police on the train early this morning who kindly informed me I had purchased a child’s ticket from the confusing machine. I’m sure it’s actually a very nice and easy-to-understand machine, but said test-run lasted a good 14 hours and needless to say, there were a few beverages involved.

And that was the test-run.

I’m going to try to film tomorrow for a short piece in the new show I’m producing, but no promises.

Oh, how poetic and enlightening is this post, hmmmm? Hangovers + Slumdog Millionaire do not make for the most riveting of entries… So here, in exchange for wasting a good few minutes of your time, a language lesson. If you want to sound really, really local, then use ‘oi’ for ‘hello’.

The things you learn here, hmmmm?
