Zuerich is a great and not forgetting expensive place to be. You would not want to go there if you don't have the cash to spend. With its high streets and personal yachts, this is the life of the rich and famous baby! Expensive dine outs, complimented with handmade chocolate truffles. You can imagine how it is. We only managed to survive a day here. But nevertheless, it was our first sight of the wonders of this amazing place. Everywhere I turned looked like a desktop wallpaper. The scenary I mean.

There was also little noble streets that catered to normal people like us but still price-wise, on the high-end. On the way to our Backpackers Lodge we slit in between little streets and old buildings. Brightly lit at night, these little taverns were filled with music and tourists. Along these rows were also clubs and much x-rated clubs with pictures of naked ladies slapped on thier windows. Funny thing was when we were on our travellers feet early the first morning, we came across and old man in his 60s staring closely at those pictures. teringatkan masa muda maybe. And one thing about this clubs is that they advertise their 'escorts' to escort you home after a fun night. Some maybe interested. I'll pass. Further down the street I saw a shocking scene. There was a lady on the ground in a dress. standing around her was a man and another lady. I was confused until I heard the man counting. He counted to three and the other lady in kneehigh boots kicked the lady on the ground. OMG *close eyes* I need to blah. It was just to scary for me. The tree of us escaped the next left exit!! Then I thought to myself, why is it that we being humans are afraid to help another in a torturing situation... Lets face it. If I get kicked by those two, I'll die on the spot. I am a small size asian.

So where did we go in Zuerich... out of all the place to go, we went to the... ZOO!!!
It was just a spontaneous idea. But hey, we had fun! so much fun!!
Look at the ass of that thing! its around a hundred years old.. wait till you see its face.
scary rite?

and guess what? I TOUCHED A ILLAMA!! we all had a specific animal to meet in mind. And mine was a Illama. I was so freakin excited!! ngahahaa... so Mr. Illama made my day. But something better made our day!

it needs a kiss.. ngeehehee..

Lets meet Mr. Alpaca

Mr. Alpaca got a new haircut. He has great teeth too!! I can die laughing recalling the first time we met. He's just so horny!! He was peeing by the shade and I was already laughing at him. A certain HIM!! With such warm hospitality like hoteliers study in Switzerland, he greeted me in my face. The three of us just stood there laughing like nobodys business with our newly met friend. I miss you!! So handsome rite?? *gelak terbahak-bahak*

Ok anyway after meeting our friends of another species, we were soo hungry. But then, despite the hunger, we still made time to lepak at the lake. It was a shining hot 1pm summer. After our purchase of Truffles from Lindt-Spruengli. 12CHF for nine Liliput truffles... its not everyday that we eat Swiss truffles in Switzerland. And it was dead GOOD!


We had our lunch at almost 4 after scavaging for real traditional Swiss cuisine. At last we had it at a restaurant below our Backpack Lodge. The price was.. ermm.. but then, it was worth a tradional cuisine. We dined Swiss style!

watch'em drip~

Each of us had a meal. I had Rabbit Raclette, Annd had Traditional Cheese fondue and Acap had Seafood Fondue. A note to those who are going to order a tadional cheese fondue like my dearest friend in blue. Cheese fondue is like having alcohol on its own dipped in bread. It tasted like it was 70% alcohol. But still its good. just save it for the winter. The Seafood fondue was also yummy.. it was like steamboat back home, served withe rice and other condiments. Yo and behold my Rabbit raclette... the top of the thingy in the picture is to grill the meat, below it is a heating element to melt your cheese.. Raclette is all about cheese. Place what you want in the pan and top it with cheese and wait... You'll be having a meal of melted cheese on your plate. Swiss satisfaction...

That evening, we took a train down to Luzern.
Alls well in the big Zuerich city.
