Things I've noticed

- Every toilet has a different flushing mechanism. Whether you press a lever on the upper side, lift a rod out of the top, or push a button mounted on the wall above. And the train bathrooms kick it up a notch: do you push a button mounted over the sink, press a button on the floor with your foot, or use a lever?

- The juice & bread I've bought *actually tell you how long it's safe to eat after opening.* Let's get with that program.

- Chocolate is a meal in and of itself.

- Payphones do not exist as I know them. Swisscom rules all, and will require your credit card.

Ah the toilets! The worst was in Italy, when we walked into the public restroom and only saw a little hole in between two foot-shaped marks on the floor. Have you had to pay for any yet? Switzerland's toilets were the best though! ~Lindsey

p.s. Let me know if you're planning to go to the Interlaken area... you should visit Gimmelwald, there's a great hostel there! ~Lindsey
