Yes, I know they're Hamsters … they used to be rats
Well I’m sure the analogies are infinite.
However tonight it’s
Like if like wallpaper stripping because … you work hard for , chipping away at little sections then a big piece comes off.
… but then you’re back to the little sections …
And then the steam runs out.

Last night in Zurich for a couple of weeks. My erstwhile colleague and I are undecided on whether to eat in or …. we eat out.
It’s a balmy night. We walk and stop at the “notorious”* Langstrasse. It’s neither Long or indicatively notorious.
We stop at a bar and have a beer. The jukebox has a lot of Zucchero.
Wandering back, it’s after 8PM and the street does come alive … with the most overt selling of bodies I think I’ve seen outside Thailand. Just off Langstrassewe find Brasserie Lam.
Selected my me as it (unusually for this part of the world) highlights the vegetarian food.
As we eat, lots of “business” appears to be going on back on the main drag. It’s quite at odds, with what is a very up market eaterie.
*It is notorious as Zurich’s red light district, with a soaring crime rate, drug dealing and brothels. It is also the most overtly multicultural spot in Zurich, with a rate of 42% foreign residents, among the highest in Zurich

No, not Shatner’s finest line.
Another flight into Zurich later afternoon. City centre, right, with the Alps on the horizon.
Tuesday night we end up in an Italian where, refreshingly, the staff will only speak German.
Next day, Indian seems to be the food of choice. I recall someone suggesting Khans as being excellent. With google maps in hand, it doesn’t take long to get there.
And, yes, both the food and service is excellent. I’m knackered and asleep by 10PM (9PM UK!)
