You, who are coming to euro 08
(find the french post on my french site)
Be aware that some swiss cities doesn't like having exhibitions in town after a match. you could disturb the peace in the siss population. Yes, you read it right, Switzerland is today home of the eurofoot 2008, where a ton of peple will join to party together, and ths will be forbidden, except in some controlled areas. Switzerland is a calm, cold and strict country.
Following this, some cities reinforced their laws (often helped by the eurofoot sponsors I suppose). don't think the swiss citizen are against partying.. no juste the administration. So if you plan to come, here is a small list of what you may find on site :
- No other drink that the sponsored ones are allowed in the restricted areas. On kind of (no even swiss) beer has been "chosen", and one Cola. If you're desire is for spring water, forget about it.
- You'll be allowed to drink in plastic glass. Something very envirronemental in this pure Switzerland.
- Comedy sketches dealing about football have been canceled by sponsors arguing that it's not fair to laugh about football.
- In some cities, you will not be able to show your happiness, cars will be forbidden.
- Some cities will reinforce the law about silence after 10pm.
- You will be alllowed to wear only official sponsored clothes in restricted areas
- Except for Geneva, not special plan have been ade for city transportation.
But swiss are striking their way, like fencing all sponsored bars, so people are free to choose other places with freedom of choice.
You're coming to eurofoot 08 ? Are you sure you want to party ?
