Located in the Southern alpine region of Switzerland, Appenzell is famous for its traditional milk and cheese. Something particularly striking about Appenzell is the holding of democratic assemblies in open public which usually happens in the last Sunday of April, however these public meetings was abolished in 1997.
The region is mostly inhabited by German speaking Catholics which has preserved it's many old customs and traditions producing cheese, muslin s, and men wearing red festive waist coasts.
If you intend to go back in time- Appenzel is exactly the place to be. Traditional houses, fascinating Swiss costumes, Edelweis emblem caps and hats, tobacco pipes, and not to mention cows everywhere and probably the tastiest cheese (which you could smell from way 2 blocks away) . Picture typical milk man, against the green grass of home- now you're exactly imagining Appenzell.
Yes, traditional Swiss costumes, a quick stopover to get some souvenirs!
Grateful to motherland- Switzerland! Lols.
I think I fell asleep on the way back to Uzwil, it was fast dark when we have arrived for dinner prepared by my colleague- a Chinese resto right in St. Gallen. Anyway, can't realy complain..the hot soup and German beer was all good. Happy and grateful to have taken this trip, oops, hope I don't forget the Swiss knife I've been wanting to get for myself! Lols.
Enjoying all C's in the land of C's,
itsmelory (^.^)
