Baksteen 84 #31 July 17, 2009 I'd check out some skiing pistes if in winter, or go 'skydiving between the alps' / 'glacier skydiving' in summer. That sounds awesome.

virgin-burner 1 #43 July 17, 2009 as you know, switzerland has a german, an italian and a french part; plus a fourth language we wont get into details about.. so, especially the germans and the french dont really like each other for some reason other than the language. the french are supposed to be lazy drunks, while the germans are supposed to be uptight snobs. the first part of that statement is true, while the second is completely out of the blue.. now, the language barrier is called the "rösti-graben". rösti is something like hash brown, and since "rösti" is so swiss, we're talking about the "rösti-trench".. “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S.
