Last few days of sales

Geneva, Switzerland – There are two great reasons to shop this week: air conditioning and an 80% discount on selected items at your favorite store.

The picture on your left, says it all. Hot shopping in a cooooool spot.

The last few days of summer sales in Geneva (and across Switzerland) are this week. If you read this late and you’ve missed the sales, you might still catch those in neighboring France where summer sales continue until 11 August.

Happy shopping!

Men on bikes chasing a ball

Those of you not in the shops and out on the streets: what do you call a guy with a long-handled mallet, a small ball, and a bicycle?

At least this weekend, you can call him a European-cup bike-polo player.

I miss my football World Cup so I had to quickly think about another Cup that I could shift my attention to, and I found it: the European bike polo championship which takes place in Geneva on 17 and 18 July.

Images explain what Velo Polo, as it’s called in French, is all about. This video produced by TSR Nuovo, shows a Geneva-based group that trains every Tuesday under La Praille bridge.

Here’s how it works.
