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!
