The first couple days in Zurich were unfortunately, uneventful. They did produce some interesting highlights though, including the learning of a new card game called shithead from some australians and several rounds of intense jenga action. Probably the most signifigant revelation however, involved the food. We had already decided that we would be cooking instead of eating out, making use of the limited kitchen facilities. To that end, from time to time I will begin to write installments of what I would like to call "The Hostel Cookbook: A gourmet's guide to eating in places that will bleed you dry if you try to go out for food." I may edit that later on, but it has a nice ring to it for now. We've cooked some interesting meals so far and they have garnered a bit of attention from other hostellers. I'll try to provide some recipes on the stuff we've made, but I wont make any promises as to their accuracy. I've never been one to write down what I'm cooking as I'm doing it so it's purely based on memory. In any case, I'll leave that for another post, as well as a some info on the chocolate we've been eating. Next up on the list however: Luzern!
