A Whisky Store and a Dog in a Glass

There's so many incredible places in Zurich. As already mentioned, on Saturday we didn't only go to the Markthalle, but after some shopping, we ended up in one of the most amazing Whisky stores I've ever seen. 
Cramped between the old-town buildings, next to Hotel Otter, lies Glen Fahrn, which contains for sure one of the biggest selection of Whiskys and Whiskeys. (Fun fact: I learned in Ireland, that the appellation Whisk(e)y is derived from the irish word which means water. (Hello, vodka.) If you're interested in the difference between the terms Whisky and Whiskey; check wikipedia here.

So if you ever need a good quality Whisk(e)y or you need a good advice or suggestion, Glen Fahrn is definitely worth a visit; don't hesitate to ask the shopkeeper about details; they are very well informed.


So, that was that. On Sunday, we checked out Babu; an absolutely gorgeous place for brunch, lunch or some afternoon coffee. It's spacious and cosy yet very busy on certain days, so you might want to reserve a table in advance if you don't feel like waiting up to half an hour in those times...


I'm almost sad to finish this post without some stupid or witty remark; guess I'll have to make up for that soon. 


Oh, wait. There's at least something funny. Today I had to do some dull work; and as a non-coffee drinker, well, it wasn't the most pleasant thing to do. 


For a new business mailing, we had printed all those coasters. And because we wanted them to look authentic, we had to stain some real glass rings on them, which - as we found out - unfortunately didn't work with beer. (no excuse for drinking during work, then :(...) Nor did it with cola. So, sadly, I've spent half of my workday in the bitter fumes of nespresso *blörk*... But I guess the results were worth it. :)

Doing some brainwashed handiwork like this one has a meditative touch to it. And it's kind of artsy, too! Right? And for all my work, in the end i was rewarded with what seems like a Terrier in my coffee glass.
