Switzerland (Berne, Lausanne)
Berne, the capital of Switzerland. Visited the city and took some nice night shots.
Went to the rose garden but the roses have withered. Also saw the famous Berne Bear.
Nice city view with beautiful trams. Even sacrifice to stand in the middle of the road. LOL... Some of the other travellers got too excited and they jaywalked passed a junction and almost got killed by an incoming tram =X.
Spent the night at Lausanne. Had the longest meal I ever eaten. =X The dinner sucks.
Cos its fish for main course and I dont eat it! The salad and all also not nice. Haiz... Zzz... They have a bread, salad, main course and dessert. & they took about 3 hours to serve us. Typical western meal.
They have to serve you one by one and they only have 2 staff but 40 patrons. So they took ages to finish serving each and everyone. =X
& then after you finish they start clearing one by one your plates before they start a new course and worst of all, say "sil vous plait" meaning "please" before taking away and putting your food on your table. So its like OMG!
Europe's wages are too high I guess. So they only hire a few staff.
The staff in Switzerland seemed always busy like hell. Usually its 2-3 staff for one restaurant having about 80 patrons and you see them work like mad!
Hardworking though their staff in Switzerland.
Also visited one of their castles. Chillion Castle on our way towards Geneva.
Had lunch @ Movenpick. Food was nice =)
