What do you get when you win the Olympics? What item holds its value, and most serious investors have at least some of? What is one of the oldest forms of currency and who has it all? Who wins international yachting competitions and has no territorial seas?
Seriously, the Swiss have won.
While half the ‘civilised’ world has been butchering each other over who has the best imaginary friend or more bases for the past X years, the Swiss have been counting all of our money. All without firing a shot, or preaching a word. Good on them. Those shifty neutrals are having a good old yodelling based laugh at the world because they were right.
Rathaus = Townhall, Gasthaus = Inn ( but really is pub). So why not combine them? You never have to leave?

Where we stayed.
Action shot of the slops. The Frauline is more experianced than myself, you can see her in the distance. Unfortunalty her ahead waiting was a not uncomman situation. Being new to the mountain I was playing it safe. Not like my first day snowboarding. But that is another story.
Arosa's 'Flag', just for fun.
Yup it snowed for one day, was great fun for me, does not snow such much in Wellington.
Now I am not saying much about anything. But that is a Othodox Jew standing next to a giant gold rabbit in the mountains. ( best said in Forest Gump accent )
When the thin veneer of civilised, fossil fuel based ridiculous consumption party is over, and the cracks are beginning to show, I know where I would want to live. In the mountains eating cheese and sausages while drinking beirs. Listening to naught but cows and cow neck bells and waiting for fresh snow, in die Schweiz the land of win.
I had the good fortune of spending over a week in Arosa, Switzerland with the Frauline and family. It’s a beautiful place around 10.5 drive from Hamburg across most of Germany, North to South.
