We're simply the best!

I was at a party the other weekend. Not my own, but the previous weekend I attended a gay party. If you want diverse, that's the place to go. There was a 17-years-old mixing with 55-years-olds, there were low-educated people together with almost-professors, there was a blind guy with his dog, a deaf couple, and even some straight people. Fantastic! Downside was it was almost 2 hours travel out of Zürich. And I got accused of being an arrogant Zürcher, an arrogant person from Zürich. Hurray! I made it. I took it as a compliment. And in todays "Blick am Abend" we have reason to be cocky in Zürich, we are simply the best. FCZ (Football Club Zürich) kicked the asses of AC Milan yesterday. We have the highest quality of life in Switzerland and are second in the world (after Vienna...where is that again?). We have the best public transportation system (recently in a study it was concluded that ze Swiss travel most kilometers by train in the world). We are the most gay city, as an example was given the police boss who's a lesbian (not sure this is something to brag about though). We have more than 80 infrastructure projects going on in Zürich just now and in the end it was mentioned: The best things about Zürich cannot be measured: the pulse of the city, the lake and the most beautiful women in the world. I could'nt agree more.
