One Apartment Less

This weekend I was in my little town in northern Germany where I had lived for about 9 Months before I came to Zurich. I had my stuff moved out to a storage space (until the flat in Zurich is free in August), cleaned the place, and handed the keys over to the landlord. The landlord didn't have anything to complain about, so things went smoothly. When I finally left around 2:30pm I felt quite a relief. Maybe I'm really not a small-town person any longer. Or it was just because I had not much slept the night before...

Art Basel

Today I've been at Art Basel. Met with a friend at the Zurich main station at 9:40am, was at the show when it opened at 11am, saw art from 11am to 6pm. There were only few spectacularly new things, but if you own an Andy Warhol or an Egon Schiele you might want to consider selling now: They were definitely over-represented (and, as rumors go, over-priced) at the Galleries.

Coiffure Heidi

On Sunday afternoon I was strolling the city with a friend. He is a hairdresser at a local saloon called "Coiffure Heidi". His clients actually call him Heidi, as do his parents sometimes.

Weekend as a Tourist Guide

This weekend friends were visiting Zurich. So I acted as a guide. It was not so difficult since I have had three excellent guides on my own. I simply combined their wisdom into a two-day tour through the city and some nightlife. We did some very touristy things (Chagall, Bahnhofstrasse, Limmatboats), and we had a good time doing it.
