zurich faces

most people in this city can't afford their own houses. most of them rent apartments and all, which is ironic, because switzerland is one of the richest country in the world. land are very expensive in zurich, forcing most of them to live in suburbs. the lakeside is home to the very elite, and is home to tina turner and kimi raikonen. vladimir lenin also once resided here. lack of snow this year becomes a threat to many ski resorts. whatever it is, visit the city at any time of the year - surely it'll not be a bad idea at all.

the saggy traveller
