Enjoyed a few days in Lugano. It was the first time I travelled since I got home a year ago from my asian trip. Unfortunately the sun did not shine, but I went there with a few friends and we had a great time together.Southern Switzerland is very near to Italy. So the floral and weather there is very different than Northern Switzerland. They have beautiful palm trees and the people there are more laid back then the Zuricians. The Luganese love their wine, cultures and good food. That is one of the reason why many German speaking Swiss have their holiday homes down North, as this gives them a sense of being away, and yet within the border of Switzerland. Italien is the main language, and each time when they see you walking, they would friendly greet you with Ciao or Bonjourno (good day).So it is indeed Dolce Vita down south. The swiss call it the Sunshine State of Switzerland.
