Swiss Miss

February 6, 2010 By Emme Rogers 1 Comment

I’ve always had a fondness for the Swiss, thanks to Stefan and his serenades.  Well … that fondness only grew yesterday after attending the opening of Maison de la Suisse.

Maison de la Suisse

Maison de la Suisse at Bridges on Granville Island

Very quickly I came to the realization that Switzerland is a Nation that has a fondness for many of the same thing as me – good cheese, chocolate, sausage, wine and views. And best of all, they shared this with those of us that joined them for the Opening. One Swiss gentleman, even let me bite into his schnitzel. Nom, nom, nom nom …

Never fear if you missed it yesterday, they are open for the public from now until February 28th, daily from 8 am – 1 am.  Here’s what you can expect if you visit:

  • Different yummy samples each day of cheese, chocolates, coffee, biscuits, and ricola.
  • St. Moritz Musicians daily at 2, 5, 8 and 10 pm.
  • Commercial Free Live Broadcast of the Games.
  • A great view!

I am quite the character. A storybook one in fact. My online is born out of the imagination of the team at Ahimsa Media.

Sample the “Drink Me” Potion at Your Own Risk

Don't try to find a beginning or an end to this site, because there's not one. That will only cause you frustration and I don't have the money for your therapy bills. Mine are already expensive enough.
