Zurich

Zurich is one of the nicest cities that I had visited on this trip. Not only it has beautiful sceneries, the place is clean and well-organized. The transport infrastructure is really convenient, on time and efficient. People are also environmentally conscious and they take the effort to split or recycle their trash.

If there is one thing I don't like about Zurich or the other cities that I visited on this trip, it is the public toilets. One might need to pay up 2 Swiss franc just to use the public toilet!

Montreux

I was there for a meeting held over the weekend with a few local colleagues. It was a great opportunity to know fellow colleagues who are based in other regions. 

           

There was this interesting team building challenge where we have to eat some cherries and try to spit it as far as possible into a star-shaped area. Points are awarded depending where the seed land. It was really funny that during the eating part, some of my team mates ended up swallowing the seed instead! 

I also got the chance to try out the Alphorn though the best I did was emitting a monotonous tone from it while others manage to play some tunes with it.

The biking tour, led by the amazing Daniel Wyss was a memorable experience. Cycling uphill on the Swiss mountains was definitely more challenging than I had expected though the ride downhill is simply exhilarating!

"To enjoy the ride downhill is an uphill task."
