Business trips take me to Lucerne at times - small town near Zurich .I had a few peculiar observations ..
-There are more hair salons in Lucerne as compared to say grocery shops. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lucerne
-This could also explain for the fact that most people are so well turned out on the roads
-All shops in general close by 630pm or 645pm but you will see cafes and lounges open till the wee hours of dawn
-My colleague observed that even the swans on the lake Lucerne seem to be disciplined and orderly and move around or sleep in the water in a very very disciplined way..
-There is a Swiss precision look on everything the buildings, the gardens , the lake ..Everyone follows the rules and that too wholeheartedly .This is something which we can certainly imbibe in India - rules related to crossing roads, hygiene etc
-And the food -even for a vegetarian : it is amazing . Though dripping in cheese and other carbohydrates it is really tasty ..
-Most importantly all citizens seem to be very health conscious - they are walking, cycling or running ...
-The hotel where we stayed called The Hotel had an amazing interior design idea-all the rooms had posters of important films on the roof !! Needless to say this was mentioned in the hotel brochure ie that the architect was a great film buff esp European cinema ..
That's Lucerne for me along with the long meetings and" no time to stand and stare " kind of a schedule !!
