Sometimes a picture tells more than words. Here a carnival impression of the main station in Zurich: We are strong in a lot of things here – but let’s admit it: we just don’t know anything about Carnival here in Zurich. Go to Basel or Lucerne – but forget about the Zurich “carnival”.
Apple Store Zürich, Bahnhofstrasse
For all Zurich based Apple enthusiasts I posted s snapshot I did this Saturday from the construction work of the Apple Store in the Manor building on the Bahnhofstrasse in Zurich: Let’s hope that they push working on the store even further – I’d love to buy my next Apple stuff in a “real” Apple [...]
