Begin the trip of Swiss

With one day stay in Shanghai back from Harbin, I begin the trip to Swiss on early morning. This is the first time for me to go abroad. I take Swiss International Airline, Airbus 340, which will bring me directly from Shanghai to Zurich in 13 hours.

Swiss airline is cool, it is very different with mainland airline. The economy class seat is a little bit larger, with one LCD for each traveler. We could choose to see movie, or listen music, or play game, or learn simple foreign launguage, or see sky through two cameras below and ahead of aircraft. I watched Shrek I again and Mr.&Mrs Smith during the flight. Listen some music of Beatles, Madonna and Enna at last when reading. You could even phone on the air, but the cost is also much higher, about $11 USD for one munite.

Here is the menu on the flight. So passengers know what they could choose on the flight. During the whole 13 hours flying, I did not feel so tired. Then here the Zurich comes~

Here shows two pictures of Zurich airport. Since I have to find the hotel this afternoon, I did not look around and buy one ticket to Wadenswil. The ticket price is about 12 CHF for the 40 minutes train. In Zurich, I know it is very important to know German or French... Most of people did not speak english. It seems I need to start language study again.... There is auto ticket selling machine, for the first time, I still choose to buy tickets in the window.

This is the view of inside train. There is few people in the train. Time is very accurate in Swiss. However, so few people in train made me confuse why they still have profit.

During the train travel, I could read that Swiss is a very rich country through the city view. Not so many cars and modern buildings, but still you could feel the city content. After outing Zurich city area, you could still see lots of villa with open areas.

The life of Swiss people is rich, however, for me, it seems too expensive. This dinner costs me over 30 CHF, which is about 3 times higher than Shanghai. Comparing with normal Chinese city, this dinner equals to nearly half month's meal cost...
