About This Blog

Essentially a travel journal, this blog is a collection of pictures, anecdotes, and occasional useful information gleaned from my experiences trying to see all there is to see. The other blog I author, Taschen, focuses on medieval purses and bags. I am also a major contributor to the New York Historical Fencing Association's blog.

Zürcher Kantonalbank

Walking into one of those large Swiss banks was a real trip; especially so because I went alone. I needed to exchange the rest of my American cash for Swiss cash (why I didn't just do it at the airport, who knows). However it wasn't really all that bad. The receptionist spoke well enough English, and the teller I had spoke very fluently. Fortunately the exchange rate was pretty decent (CHF0.99 to USD1), but I got charged CHF5 commission. O well, it was well worth the experience.
