Creative clean hyper kicks

Dear All,
Switzerland is deadly. Absolutely wonderful.

Imagine a city clean and beautiful, old and new, well organised and creative as nothing else. Zürich it is.

The airport in Zürich is quiet and calm. People arrive, follow the signs, talk in low voices and get on the train. The train takes you to the baggage claim and main exits. Across the street is the train station from where you 12 minutes later arrive in central Zürich.

Lonely Planet writes that Zürich is the new Berlin. Creative, buzzing, inventive. Possibly right. Probably right. Though sizewise, politically and societally different, the willingness to progress is common. So is the love for design, art and odd bars.

Art is the reason why I at all thought of coming here. Art and all the rest are definetly reasons to return.
