Zurich - Our second day in Switzerland (1 July 2006)

Since 1st of July is a public holiday, we decided to take a train up to Zurich. The first thing that struck me when I arrived at the station was the "big fat woman" was still hanging down the ceiling. Apparently it is a famous art work of someone and from my reading somewhere symbolises some god that protects passengers. A very very similar one (or could be exact) can also be found in Luxembourg. And the "fat woman god" is there until today.


Secondly, do you see how much it costs to take a shower in the public toilet at the train station (above)?? CHF 12! which in the currency I'm more used to is equivalent to Malaysian Ringgit 36 which ... can get one 6 big lunches! To pee it only costs you one sixth of that.

But the good news is, to change baby it's free of charge (FOC) and obviously no one will stop you from peeing in the changing room toilet :). If you don't have a baby the only FOC option available is in the train :)
