The place feels like a really mountainous Italy. The food, language, even people looks Italian.

Jeff gave this place too much credit because of Mario Botta’s work. The town is easily explored, much of the third day was spent watching CNN in our claustrophobic hotel room. Moreover I couldn’t update the blog because we couldn’t find a computer with USB.

Having said that, we managed to bump into a wind orchestra playing in the main hall !! My first live music in probably, forever, or something. I managed to record three full sessions (including a James Bond remix !!). So if you’re a classical music fan, remember to ask me to show it to you.
