I was in the US for so long that a lot of changes happened back home in Switzerland. For one, Switzerland lowered immigration restrictions for western Europeans. The Germans are coming! Well, even more of them than there already are.
Migros started carrying a vegetarian version of Zürcher Geschnetzeltes, the local veal and mushroom sauce specialty. Finally, I get to try it, too… oh joy.
What else? Let’s see… the Swiss were voted the 3rd most liked tourists in the world, behind the Japanese, and… what’s this? The AMERICANS. Wow. The Swiss were liked because they are “quiet and considerate”, while the Americans were liked despite their poor dress and loudness.
But the biggest news, of course, is that Zurich now has a Hooters. The Helvetiaplatz restaurant is the second Hooters in the country (Interlaken has had one for a while). Do you think the Swiss go the for wings, too?
Oh no, the Hooters! Although I’d go if they had some decent hot wings and weren’t terribly overpriced.
Out of all the chains restaurants they could bring over, it’s places like McDonalds, Burger King and Hooters that make it?
There is something very wrong about that!
Hubby and I recently went to Chile for 3 weeks, and LOVED the Espresso Bars they had– they’re basically a cross between Starbucks and Hooters. They sell coffee (and coffee only, no alcohol), and the girls are dressed in skimpy, short dresses. There’s also bars that have darkened windows, which are more akin to a trip club… that sells coffee. We never made our way into any of these bars, but I got such a kick out of their existence.
I’m wondering if I’d be able to order my wings “drumsticks only with Three Mile Island sauce.”
That’s it, I think we’re going to have to have the next blogger meet up at Hooters.
hooters in zurich?
man. looks like i got out just in time.
Next blogger meet at Hooters??? Count us in. O-x doesn’t know, yet, but when he reads this he’ll wanna go!
