I hate starting new threads so be kind to me.

I'm going to Switzerland in 6 weeks.

I'm not camping but I will be staying in a hostel (the original eeek). Nothing fancy, and it's four storeys up with no elevator. Community showers. Another eeek.

I'll be tied up each day from 8:30-11:30 and then from 2:30-4:30, but I'll have evenings and most of the weekends free.

I have some ideas about what to do--the hills beckon, obviously, so I'll want to try to get with a hiking group.

I know of some castle tours that don't sound too hokey.

I'm not into restaurants and wine/drinking/clubs, so that's out.

Given these things, what to do or not do?

Don't anyone point me in the direction of anything Sound of Music-ish. I just refuse. :D

Sound of Music was Austria and you can head to Austria in less than an hour, if I remember correctly... castle tours in Europe are not hokey to me - nothing like the shite we have here... anything that has any sort of history with age to it is cool in my book...

The scenery is so beautiful and the cows are SO cute... hiking and sightseeing is just lovely to do...

I know but the alps look the same from wherever. :D

I tend not to like to do anything according to a heavy schedule, so I probably will wind up doing informal walking/hiking/sightseeing. I thought if there was some definite thing to do, then I'd do it. Aside of eating cheese that is.

There are some excellent watch shops in Switzerland, if you like watches that is...

I know. I won't know where to begin. I'm getting hungry thinking about it. (The cheese here sucks unless you drive to a good set of shops to get it. So I'll be happy there.)

Yeah, but in six weeks, it might not be scarred. Maybe still oozy and possibly festering. :D

The swiss are known for their banking AND bowling.
I did not know that.

Apparently, when I'll be in Zurich, this (http://www.streetparade.ch/05/download/stp_trailer.wmv) will be happening right outside of my hotel. (!)

You gotta visit Hörnblowér, maybe he's got some new goats so he can make some delicious cheese.

It somewhat looks like I should be planning what not to wear. :)

I'm taking a class during the two weeks leading up to the trip and it'll take a lot of my free time. If I don't pack in the next two weeks, I'll be screwed.

I know. I gotta get directions for how to get there.
I wouldn't mind doing goat things on my weekends.

I think it was unintentional but probably a little freudian on my part. :o

It's evidence like this that just fuels that general perception other races have of white people being bad dancers.

Oh, you don't really need to pack that much. Bra, hotpants and some facepaint.

But they look so good while they're not dancing well.

I plan to be in the footage that they take this year for Street Parade 06.
I want to be that silhouette that comes up at the end.

Then you should practice droppin' it like it's hot.

I think that this stereotype has overstayed it's welcome. Normally I wouldn't care, because this doesn't really affect me, because I'm not white. But my poor daughter.
