Sechseläuten

So tomorrow is the unpronounceable holiday again in Zürich. I tried my best (not very good I admit) German today saying this "Sechseläuten". Only to be told, "ah you mean Sachzilüte?". Yeah whatever. Meaning they will burn this man tomorrow. Ok so it's not a real man, it's made of something with explosives inside. And when they go off it's all over. And the time to take to burn it up is a measurement of how good the summer will be. Apparently. Amazing if somebody really believes it. Last year if I remember correctly it took 19 min, and the summer was fairly good. More importantly. Tomorrow is a half a workday and then party-party-party. I LOVE this city :)
