This blog is simply about anything that my mind tells the fingers to jot down. Many times they come late at night, others at work and occasionally in the toilet heading for that big drop. Most entries are about life in the "land of chocolate" and things that I love to do - mountain biking, photography, snowboarding and a bit of running.

Grüezi ... What??

Grüezi (pronounced "greatsi") is probably the first word that one would learn in the German speaking region of Switzerland (Zurich, Basel and Berne and the vicinity). It's the first word that I caught uttered by the locals, and the first one I couldn't find in the High German list of vocabulary. The word essentially means "greeting" or "hello" in Swiss German (the Swiss version of German Language).
