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.

My 23th Birthday at the Moulin Rouge!
Thanks again for those who wished me, I had a blast at the most famous cabaret in the world. We nearly didn’t get there on time, the haircut took too long. Pity we couldn’t take photos inside.
As for the cabaret girls ….
It’s actually 9:30pm when I took this photo, the sun sets around 10:30pm during summer.
Within seconds, he was doing this Muppet performance that was really really good. When he finished, he collected basking tips using the same Muppet sock!!
Wish I could tape more but we needed the memory for the rest of the day …
a young capricious bloke with a penchant for the strange, unknown, and exotic. Here lies the journals of my worldly travels, as I trot around the globe in search of adventure!
