I'll be back in this area during a different trip this month to Switzerland.

The Weather

I've been paying attention to Swiss weather a lot lately since I'd like to know what I'm getting into when I am in Switzerland. I really don't think it will be any different than Vancouver, just a bit warmer and a lot more sun!

TBF took a few photos of Basel's shocking snow storm while Renny was nice enough to point out how much snow other parts of Switzerland got.

If you want to check out some beautiful snow pics, just visit Sophie.

Another Time Change

I can't believe it's already here for North America, but this weekend we have our Spring forward time change on March 9th. As for the EU, March 30 is the big date. Funny enough, I'll have to experience two time changes this year because of my travels...

"In the European Union, Summer Time begins and ends at 1:00 a.m. Universal Time (Greenwich Mean Time). It begins the last Sunday in March and ends the last Sunday in October. In the EU, all time zones change at the same moment."

Where is my train?

French blogger Window to France came across an impressive application using Google maps which figures out where Swiss Trains actually are located.

Swisstrains.ch gives the position of Swiss trains live using the application of Google maps.

The application uses a theoretical position of trains. It's well known that Swiss trains are very reliable and are almost always on time. The site will transition to provide the actual position of trains through this site.

My questions: Who Will actually use this application? Is everyone that connected to the Internet that they can find where their train is? Do I really need to know that much about my train coming?

For me, it's definitely not a necessity... What's the practicality for use? With the train operators themselves?

Photo Hunt - Party

This weeks Photohunt Theme is Party

Bastille Day in France is always a party.
