Art on Ice

http://www.artonice.com/index.php?en_news Am going to see Art on Ice in a couple of weeks time. Really look forward. When trying to find out if a friend of mine wanted to join, we had the following sms-conversation (re previous post on lost in translation): Have you decided about Art on Ice? I want come to Art on Ice, I will not be in Zürich So you want to come to Art on Ice? You say you’re not in Zurich…make up your mind man. I am not in Zürich. So we don’t order a ticket for you? Yes. A little word like want instead of won't can really be confusing:), as well as the yes...but am rapidly becoming an expert in translating the Swiss trying to speak English!
