ExpatCH: Why Was This Woman Touching My Leg?

http://expatch-swiss.blogspot.com/2013/07/why-was-this-woman-touching-my-leg.html

An expat's life in the Confédération Helvétique. Why Was This Woman Touching My Leg? She was a complete stranger, yet she was casually touching my leg. Why? Soon I noticed that the woman next to me was allowing her hand at her side to touch my thigh. A Swiss person would never do this. I glanced at her, but she didn't seem to notice me as she talked to her two friends. I resisted squirming away from her hand. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Steampunk Fantasy in Nantes.

ExpatCH: What Makes a City Great?

http://expatch-swiss.blogspot.com/2014/12/what-makes-city-great.html

An expat's life in the Confédération Helvétique. What Makes a City Great? The first time I visited Zürich, I walked out of the train station beneath a gargantuan guardian angel. Strolled across the Limmat River, and wandered aimlessly into Old Town, where I was shot through the heart with an arrow. What makes a city great? A lively street life full of friendly people? A dramatic history that still echoes as you walk through its churches and squares? Intriguing architecture and art? In the hip quarter.
