Swiss money is pretty...and coffee expensive!


One thing that you need to be happy for is the Swiss money. It is so colorful and that you can not be mistaken for the value of your bills. I remember the first time I took a cab in NYC back in 96, I had a cab ride worth about $ 7.00. I took a bill out, gave it to the driver and very candidely said:"Keep the change" feeling pretty generous.

Well let me tell you how generous I had been that day, when I got to my hotel room, I noticed that I had given the driver a $ 100 bill and not a $ 10 bill.

No risks of making a mistake here....Check out the colorful bills....

Also they don't really care if you pay for your CHF 2 coffee with a CHF 100 bill - think USD 1 is about CHF 1. They always have change.

Talking of coffee - it is good but expensive, just under USD 2 for a coffee - and how much coffee to you get - well it is not even your small coffee for your favorite coffee chain! But again, everybody seem to drink espresso and it is the same price!.
