Chocolates and silk flowers through a shop window along the Bahnhoffstrasse,
the most expensive street in the world!
Fancy a chunk?
The crazy chopper isn't even wearing a coat or a hat in this outdoor cheese kiosk.
Chocolate? Cheese? Chairlifts? Nope. None of these words stand for the CH on the bumper stickers here, or the CH in chf (swiss francs). Yes, all of the above are a huge part of the culture, but the CH is the country code for Switzerland, officially the Swiss Confederation, which in Latin is
Confoederatio Helvetica. Actually, this poor country has four official names because there are four official languages- German, French, Italian, and Romansch (dialect of Latin), but I don't want to type them out...time for a chocolate break anyway.
