Day 1

Snow was falling slowly when I walked out of the plane on Zürich, thank God were on the front row seat, when the door was open we just hop on to the terminal fast, and pass the passport control safely. Then on the front door there was old man in a suit holds my mother name on his iPad. Then he took us to the car, and drove us to the St. Gotthard hotel. Just a blink away from the bahnhofstrasse, the most expensive road in the world!

Because the room wasn't ready yet, we then rushed our way to the freidempolizei on Berninastrasse 45. It's such a stressful thing because I can't buy the ticket on the machine. Never seen a confusing tram machine before. Thank God the tourist information just step away on the Bahnhof.

And guess what did I get, the most handsome and such a warm accent migration officer. The eyes was green-grey. But such a mess we're not so lucky to get the extend visa after such a long talk. He suggest us to do the request to the Kantön Geneve.

So we had to change our plane. We're looking the best deal for March 18. And we'll be going to Geneva by tomorrow night.

We're back to the hotel, my mom insist to wrap herself under the blanket as the snowfall getting heavier. Then she ask me to bring some spesific meal like, chicken burger from Burger King. No other choice I was back to the Bahnhof bought burger and fish and chips for me. It makes me realize my favorite fish and chips was 3x more expensive than I had before while on Berlin. Welcome to the most expensive city, Zürich!

Back to the hotel, my mom still coughing under the blanket, and me just make an appointment to go to winterthur after 6pm with Ms. Dita, one of my cousin's friend in Zürich.
---
It takes about 20minutes by train to reach Winterthur. And in this small town, the snow was falling heavily. I'm sure there will be a tons of snow that got into my mouth while I was walking straight among those pretty warm lights on the street of Winterthur. As I walked by all I can think was the girl whose selling the match, so cold, so alone.
---
Since there was nothing on Winterthur in such a heavy snowfall, we're back to Zürich, to filled up our empty stomach. And we're going to eat fondue! Yeah cheese fondue that you must have while in Switzerland.
The most expensive standard meal that I've ever had.

It almost 11:30pm when we finished the meal, and heading to hotel by tram, it was -1 degree celcius. The coldest night I've ever been. I think I'm going to die. I finished this story on the next day, when the sun was shining but the temperature falls to -2 degree celcius.

I'll be back on the stories of the day 3. Now I'm seating on the Burger King just finish my brunch. And going to conquer this city with half of the gloves I had.

Cold kiss from Zürich!
