At work @ CH

Guten morgen Uzwil! Time to go to work today, after my 2nd cup of coffee I readied myself to go HQ. I worry that my jacket would not hold off the cold.  After much confusion for which entrance to take, I managed to find the main door to the main building.  Thank you Jacky for seeing me at the office entrance. I need a better coat next time! 





It was nice to finally meet Oli(whom I've only talked to over the phone), of course Marco 1, Marco 2 and Senor Ziegler whom I've seen back in Manila couple of months ago. Since my Nik is currently enjoying burgers in the USA, I went with Senor Ziegler for a quick tour around the HQ. It was quite amazing, and chilling (literally, Lols) since we were atop the newest CEO Building overlooking the rest of Uzwil. I could use a cup of coffee now-seriously! 












































After a quick tour, we went for lunch together. Lunch was perfecto, typical Swiss meal: warm soup, veal with mushroom, potato rosti, and salad. Too hungry so no photo hehe. 


Then Oli and Marco asked me to join the Chinese delegates for a tour, what a lucky day indeed, our first stop? Find some chocolates of course! 










Enjoying all Swiss,

Quiet town of Uzwil

Uzwil is a municipality of Wil in the canton of St. Gallen, northeastern part of Switzerland. It took us no more than 1 hour before we finally reached Uzwil, truth was...we missed the train stop- thanks to Jacky who for some reason overlooked it! So we got off Sank Gallen then took another ticket to go back 2 stations away to Uzwil! 



Hotel Uzwil 


Just a stone's away from the train exit, Hotel Uzwil was pretty much convenient, such a cozy place to stay!  After a quick check in, we went out for  dinner , some Pad Thai surprisingly just along Uzwil. After a bottle of beer, we bade goodnight, Jacky was a gentleman himself even walking me to the hotel door, I know he don't mean to but...xie xie Jacky! 

Oh ser gut. English please?

Some comfy bed, just what I needed now! 
I kicked off my boots and jumped here!

Some franks. Swiss Franks. 


Gutern morgen


Good morning Sunday! Feeling great today after some hot coffee and that nice, croissant, bacon and eggs. So with no itinerary at hand,  took the train to St. Gallen to do more of sightseeing!


Uzwil train station. I'm used to crowded train station but this is a relief!  




Typical Sunday morning. Yes, those are cows right in there, 
after all this is what you would see in Switzerland. 




SBB Train


Speaking of railways, SBB is the biggest railway system in Switzerland, welcome aboard! 


Comfy chairs and a good scenic windows to enjoy more of CH!


I think I'd like to say that Europe is nice. The transport system, the modern culture, I like it.. because yeah it's different from what I am used to, but just so you know, home is still where the heart is, and the differences is what sets them apart. Europe is all that, and Philippines..brings so much more warmth! 




Until next post,
