Almost all business on this trip to Basel. Only one afternoon free to see any of the sites. Left on January 28 and arrived on January 29. Instead of sleeping, I spent the afternoon seeing the sights. Then the rest of the week was business meetings and dinners with our German colleagues.
They picked some very interesting places for dinner that served great food. I learned that in Germany and Switzerland dinner is an event. Our American fast food mentality frequently carries over to most dining, while in Germany they still enjoy leisurely dining with good conversation. We can learn from that, although I am afraid that they are learning from us and are adopting some of our fast food ways.
