Riots in Switzerland....

So it is not as it appears: even in Switzerland there are riots. In the latest days it is eas to read about it in Basel, Chur, Zurich. But I didn't notice anything strange close to me. Maybe because I don't get all the discussions, even if I 'm often on the train or the bus.
It looks also that Switzerland is not new to the riots, as it has happened in the past. I found this reportage really interesting, but I don't have time to look more depply to understand the reason of those riots.
It seems that a famous school (ETH) was moved from a place close to the Hauptbahnhof of Zurich to another place as a consequence of some riots happened sometime in the past.
For me it is strange to here about it, as I always think of Switzerland as a peaceful land, so I can say that Swiss people have a character as well as the rest of the world.

Next episode

Hi

after my leaving from Italy this is my next episode I 'd like to talk about in my beloved blog.

Today I was in Zurich as I daily do since 1 months, and I was going to have a "Kaffee Creme" in Mc Donalds during a break ( I can tell you ... it is even better than an extremely expensive coffee in a bar in Zurich ). Just before Mc Donalds, in the middle of the street, but in a pedestrian area, there was a dog, a nice and sweet puppy.

No dog in Switzerland walks in a street alone so the only possibility was that someone had lost him. He came towards me and I stopped him to cross the road. He obeyed and was so sweet!! Then he started running towards a young boy just to play with him but the sweetest scene was seeing the boy and some other people taking care of him. They kept him and made a call, probably to police in order to get the identity of the dog and then the owner's address.

I stopped a while and I just looked at that scene and I thought : "How lucky is that dog? He is absolutely safe! People, who don't know him, a dog, takes care of him". I smiled and I felt full of positive energy, and I thought that Switzerland is really amazing.

It is amazing breathing positive feeling and looking at smiling people when you are on the train, on the street or in a shop. It is amazing how much patience Swiss people have in listening to my "schlecht" (horrible) German and answering so politely!

And finally amazing is how people enjoy a sunny day at lake's river, by reading, talking, or simply relaxing. I enjoy as well that and I can tell that sometimes this helps me do not miss my sea.
