Switzerland : Amazing Place, Amazing People



Switzerland is another name for heaven on earth and Swiss people are as nice as human beings can be..

I was in Switzerland from November 19-20 2005 and had an amazing time. The experience I am going to narrate here is of the city Bern, on Saturday evening. In these two days I travelled to Lausanne, Bern, Zurich, Luzern, Engelberg and Mount Titlis.

I was alone, walking over the bridge when I spotted that down below, close to the river was an Ice-skating ring and lot of people were having a great time there. I have done roller skating before and was very keen to try ice-skating.


When I reached the place, I found out that the place was reserved for a private gathering. Disappointed I still continued to admire the skaters. After some time, one girl approached me and I told her that I wanted to skate for some time but unfortunately couldn't. Soon, a nice man stepped forward and asked me the number of my shoe. He then took off his own skates and helped me put them on.

When I started, a couple of nice girls came to me and helped me skate. For some time, they helped me arround the ringa and later left me to try on my own. After 2 falls, 2 photographs and 20 minutes of great fun, I was left with a memory for a lifetime.
