After walking through the beautiful and narrow streets of Old Zurich, Joumana and I were feeling a little chilly and needed something to keep us awake. We spotted a lovely non-smoking café and we entered.
It was a very cute place that made nice coffee and offered delicious croissants. I had a tasty café au lait and so did Joumana. We sat there for about an hour, relaxing and waiting for the outside cold weather to heat up a little.
As I was chatting with Joumana, a few people were coming in and out of the café; some even shared our table and sat with us. I noticed how polite and reserved the Swiss people were. Men dressed very nicely in dark colours, mostly black and navy blue. Joumana commented that they were all dressed like each other!
German was the language spoken in Zurich, although people commonly used French words like bonjour and merci. This reminded me of how those words were added to the Arabic language when I lived in Syria.
After coffee we had some tea to make sure that our bodies were warm enough. We walked a little more around Old Zurich but we quickly realized that we weren’t dressed warmly enough. We therefore slowly walked back to the hotel.
