End of Switzerland Trip

Finally reached Singapore, though I would rather stay in Muri.

Touched down at 6am and slept till 3pm. Shack! The plane ride is the worse part of course.

Finished uploaded all my photos. Please view them here.

Not much to say but..... Love it there and I think might go back end of the month again! Yeah!

Trip to Muri

Lucky me, I got to go to Muri, Switzerland for work. In fact its 3.42 am now in Muri. But I can't sleep anymore. Maybe becos I slept in the evening just now. And also the fact I am jet lagged and its 10.50am, in Singapore, where I am usually wide awake!

The place is damm nice. I want to retire here. But the place is damm ex too.

Some photos I took on the first day.

Just to show you some interesting ones :


This is the hotel I am staying in. Hotel Ochsen since 1878


Thats my bed!


My Dinner! We went to this authentic Swiss restaurant. Authentic as it is, the whole menu was in German! We tried for 1/2 hour, then called for help. Luckily the lady boss was very friendly and knows english quite well. I got this rosti with eggs and cheese. Very nice!


Of course, I didn't wanted to be vegetarian and all. I asked the lady, do they have anything in smaller portion, but is meat. She didn't quite get it, but we end up having an understanding. So she intro-ed me to this dish : Kl Bundner Teller. Its air dried meat! Very nice! Dried in the mountain caves. The texture is chewy. Taste very savoury. It would go very well with the wine.


Day 1 damage : Pocket left with 317.50 CHF. Spent 83.50 CHF already :P Not counting my internet bill, which is 15 CHF. But I have like 5 mins left as I am typing this sentence, so I guess, it means I need to pay another 45CHF for 20 hours :P

Morning everyone!
