Escape in Switzerland

(Originally emailed on 6 Oct 2006)

Hello all,

After a busy life in Milan running between different show rooms and trade fairs with the family, a very Italien life in Vicenza enjoying the relaxed atmosphere and delicious Italien food & wine with my high school classmate, I arrived Lucern Switzerland yesterday and make an escape to small town Zug today which is only 20 minutes train from Lucern. Both Lucern and Zug are beautiful, all have big lakes and stunning mountain views. Compared with Lucern, Zug is an relatively less touristy area. I guess I might be the only Asian tourist there as I have yet seen any others along the way. There is also a cable car going up to Zugberg, where a well-known international boarding school is located and a nice area for hiking and overviewing the whole Zug area. Everytime when I come to Swiss (the fist time is in Aug with Contiki), it always reminds me my another home New Zealand. This kind of the quietness and peacefulness, it's a treasure for me after almost two months continuous traveling.

Nest week I will be in Paris, then London in the following week before heading to Taiwan on the night of 19 October. There are a lot of thoughts wanted to be shared, loads of photos needed to be loaded, packs of luggages waited to be unpacked (including the luggages moved back from New Zealand), and so many thanks to be said to people who had helped me along the journey.

The Internet time is running low now, better to finish before getting cut off. Take care, and speak soon,
