Sunday 12 July 1998 - France wins the 1998 FIFA World Cup - long ride home through Leipzig

Hi everyone

That was some Love Parade, yesterday 20 years ago in Berlin, wasn't it?Sunday 12 July 1998 would be part three and the final part of that weekend.  That day I needed to return to Munich later that day but there were sights to be seen.  I think I woke up about 8 AM, had a shower, ate breakfast and checked out at 9 AM.  With my clothes bag and backpack, I took the S-Bahn to Zoologischer Garten, where I deposited the clothes bag in a locker for 5 D-Mark, and went further on the U-2 to Bismarckstraße. I wanted to also see Spandau so I took the U-7, for many stops.  

The U-Bahn Station Rathaus Spandau, was nicely built, likely from the 1920s when stations were a more art-deco style.  I wish I could take photographs, but the camera battery was almost completely empty, and I had not thought at the time, to buy a new one as I did not have a warning until the previous day that the battery was low.  You cannot use regular AA batteries or similar, but rather a special "CR123A".  It is sort of a U-shaped battery, and cannot be bought just anywhere.  Electronics stores would have them.  The Samsung Evoca 115 is one of the finest point-and-shoot 35 mm film cameras with autofocus, fill-flash, date-time-stamp and so many more features, but the CR123A was not the best choice for batteries, I don't think.    

I returned by Jungfernheide and took the S-41 ring line to Bundesplatz.  It was almost 12 PM but I was getting hungry.  There was a Chinese food stand and the chili chicken with noodles looked good, so I ordered a small portion, for about 6 D-Mark.  Normally I would order a Döner Kebab for that price but I thought I would have something different. I had to watch my time, as the train back to Munich would leave Berlin Zoologischer Garten at 3 PM.  That was the Sommer Spezial train that I paid 89 D-Mark for, and not use a day field from my Eurailpass.  From Bundesplatz I took the U-9 to Zoologischer Garten, went east to Alexanderplatz and transferred to a U-5.  The U-5 was, like the U-2, one of the properly functioning lines in East Berlin that did not have any ghost stations.  On the U-5, the stations looked like when the wall was pulled down and Reunification happened, it was prior to their renovations in the 2000's.  The unrefinedness gave the stations their character.  I could have gone farther on to Hönow but I needed to get back to Berlin Zoo, so I exited the U-5 and returned by the S-7. 

I made it back to Zoologischer Garten station to pick up my clothes bag.  I found the train car where my seat reservation was located, and from there, the train went southwest to Leipzig.  I was listening to the radio but somehow fell tired until we arrived in Leipzig.  From Leipzig to the state line of Bavaria, the train went semi-fast, say about 75 mph, on the electrified lines through Naumburg, Jena, Erfurt, Illmenau, Schweinfurt and eventually to Nuremberg and finally Munich.  I had a light dinner in the restaurant car, not much.The train arrived in Munich around 11:15 PM.  

The World Cup Final with Brazil vs France did not start until 9 PM, so the train was still on the way to Munich when the match was ongoing.  Just short of Freising, the game ended and the conductor announced France won 3 to 0.  The Munich U-Bahn was still running when I arrived at Hbf.  When I took the U-4 to Arabellapark, the line 37 was also still running but with 30 minute headway.  I spotted a few Brazil fans waiting for the bus.  I think I arrived at home by 11:55 PM, I entered quietly and the next couple of days no one complained to me. Well what an interesting adventure in Berlin.  I have about four more for the summer.

 Gute Nacht, bis bald.

伯恩國會大廈大廈前總是會匯集了許多民眾到此參加盛宴，

感受這讓人難忘的3D光雕秀 Rendez-vous Bundesplatz ；

去年是為了紀念紅十字會創立150週年，

主題以十字會經典歷史故事為主軸，

生動活潑的光雕秀在眼前上演，

燈光秀用國會大廈Bundesplatz為舞台，

繽紛的聲光投影，

也讓人們了解紅十字會的重要歷史。

Od 15 grudnia ruszyła wielka Akcja “Każdy grosz się liczy” – zbieranie na szczytny cel- pomoc w nauce dzieciom potrzebującym. Zdaniem UNO- 264 miliony dzieci nie chodzi do szkoły i nie ma porządnej edukacji. W wyniku biedy i innych warunków (również politycznych) dzieciaki mają ograniczony dostęp do nauki lub nie mają go wcale. Zdaniem twórców Akcji- to my, jako wyedukowane społeczeństwo, powinniśmy im pomóc.

Akcja zorganizowana jest przez Radio SRF3, szwajcarską telewizję SRF2 i Glückskette. Każdy może się przyłączyć, wpłacając pieniądze przez internet lub gotówką na miejscu, to jest w Lucernie na Europaplatz (przy dworcu głównym, plac przed KKL). Na owym placu stoi sobie oszklony kontener, z którego 24 godziny na dobę nadawane są audycje, prowadzone są wywiady z gwiazdami sceny i najważniejszymi osobistościami w państwie. Wieczorami zaś odbywają się tam koncerty- całkowicie darmowe, na których również można wkładać do koszyczka pieniążki. Podczas 6-ciodniowego nadawania, moderatorzy rezygnują z obfitych posiłków i śpią w kontenerze. W zeszłym roku – po raz pierwszy w krótkich dziejach Akcji, jedna z moderatorek musiała być zastąpiona przez inną ze względu na utratę głosu.

Jak dokładnie można pomóc?

Idąc na plac:

-w licznych budkach z jedzeniem musimy zapłacić depozyt za sztućce. Nie jest on nam zwracany, ale sztućce wrzucamy do specjalnie oznaczonych “śmietników”. Firma cateringowa, opiekująca się Akcją, sprzedaje te widelce i noże do producenta, a uzyskane pieniądze wędrują na konto fundacji,

  -zamiast bezpośrednio wpłacać, możemy kupić jakiś produkt np. książki dla dzieci. Oprócz ceny producenta, zawierają w sobie marżę, która jest przekazywana na konto fundacji.

-wpłacając gotówkę bezpośrednio w radiowym kontenerze, możemy zrobić sobie zdjęcie i to zdjęcie później “wykupić” za symboliczną cenę. Utarg wędruje tam, gdzie trzeba.

Siedząc w domu:

-Wchodzimy na stronę internetową fundacji TUTAJ i zamawiamy sobie lub komuś piosenkę z życzeniami. Płacić można kartami kredytowymi (Visa, Mastercard, American Express), Paypal, Postcard, Twint i przez rachunek dostarczony do domu. Najniższy koszt to 10 CHF. Możemy dostać powiadomienie smsem lub emailem, kiedy nasz hit będzie w radio,

– Gluckskette. http://www.glueckskette.ch lub darowizna bezpośrednio TU. Metody płatności jak wyżej,

-SMS. JRZ2, JRZ10, JRZ20 lub JRZ50 na numer 388,

-Twint app- Parę Franków na nr 079 545 0 545,

-Słuchać radia i licytować produkty wystawione na aukcję. Wczoraj pewna pani wylicytowała sobie wejściówki na Swiss Musik Awards, które odbędą się już w lutym, za…5 tyś. Franków. A co? Z pompą! Sama tą akcją dołączyła do grona Vipów.

-Przekaz pocztowy. Przeznaczoną sumę na konto 10-15000-6.

W zeszłym roku zebrano ponad 6 mln CHF na dzieci uciekające przed konsekwencjami wojen. Każdy malec w Grecji, Włoszech, czy Serbii, uciekający bez rodziców czy krewnych został objęty opieką. Na dzień dzisiejszy (godz. 15:30 zebrano już 1 014 581 Franków.

Czym się różni Jeder Rappen Zählt od polskiej Wielkiej Orkiestry Świątecznej Pomocy?

JRZ odbywa się w grudniu, przed świętami i trwa nieprzerwalnie przez 6 dni. Koncerty nie są organizowane na terytorium całego kraju, a jedynie w 3 miejscach: w Lucernie (Bernie, bądź Zurychu), w ramach «Cœur à Cœur – RTS» w Lozannie i  w ramach «Ogni centesimo conta» w Locarno. Cel imprezy jest zawsze inny. Pieniądze wysyłane są za granicę by pomóc potrzebującym.

24 April 2001 - wherefore art thou, demicantonus?

Grüezi Mitenand!  Bonjour!  Buongiorno!  Hi everyone!

Thank you for joining me on the sixth day of the April 2001 journey.  Today is Tuesday the 24rd April 2001.  The Sechseläuten festival happened yesterday in Zürich's Bellevueplatz and nearby in various guild houses, the bonfire time result was a bit disappointing but the Böögg lost its head in the end.

Today we will visit two new cantons, actually three, before checking in at Bern, the federal capital of Switzerland.  Switzerland has a total of 26 cantons, 20 of them being full cantons, and six being half-cantons.  For reference, I listed the capital cities. - Appenzell Inner Rhoden (Appenzell) - Appenzell Ausser Rhoden (Herisau) - Nidwalden (Stans) - Obwalden (Sarnen) - Basel-Stadt (Basel) - Basel-Landschaft (Liestal)

The concept of half-cantonship might be explained by https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cantons_of_Switzerland#Half-cantons.  They operate mostly as if they were full cantons, but they elect one member of the Council of States instead of two, and in popular referendums, a half canton's overall vote counts only as half a vote.  The divisions date back to the 19th century.  On 25th April 2001 I can explain more about the two Basel cantons and what cities make up each, but today I will be visiting just the Unterwalden cantons, Luzern and Bern.

I slept a little longer this morning than yesterday.  I think I woke up about 6:30 AM, turned on the radio and heard Herbert Grönemeyer's "Was soll das?" in German, the chorus went "womit hab' ich das verdient daß er mir so blöde angrient? warum hast du mir nicht wenigstens gewarnt..."

I took a shower, ate breakfast and checked out by 7:45 AM.  I took the bus from Besenrainstrasse to Morgental, and to Zürich HB by 8:10 AM.  I looked for the train to Luzern via Zug.  The train left at 8:38 AM, so I was on time.  I was in the top level of the IC2000 double decker train.  Those were the same ones I remember from September 2000 when I rode on them on Monday the 11th September, coinciding with the Knabenschiessen festival.  The train went through Enge before continuing to Thalwil and Zug.  The Zimmerberg Base Tunnel was still under construction at the time.  

The train arrived about 9:03 AM at the westbound platform of the Zug rail station, as opposed to the southbound platform I was familiar with, when I went south to the Ticino and farther to Milan.  The train did not take long to arrive at Luzern, its arrival time was 9:30 AM.  At Luzern I deposited my black suitcase in a locker and went exploring around the station, considering crossing the Kappelbrücke.  I would not actually do that until August 2017.  I took a ride on the trolleybus and then headed back to the station.  I wanted to visit Stans in Nidwalden and Sarnen in Obwalden.  

I took a Stans-Engelbergbahn train from Luzern.  It was a nice train, I think from the late 1960s / early 1970s from when I was young.  About 10:40 I arrived in Stans.  I walked through the old town of Stans.  I noticed the license plates had small numbers after the "NW", and also noticed the cantonal symbol was a two sided white key on red, clover shape downward.  The one for Obwalden is similar but the key is one sided and has two colors opposite to the background, so there is the cloverleaf in red and jagged edge in white, with white and red backgrounds, respectively.  I knew about the Stanserhornbahn, but did not take it that day, though I could have done so with my Swiss Pass.  I did not have the time to do that, but possibly I could ride it at another opportunity.  To get to Sarnen, I would need to take the Stans-Engelbergbahn to Hergiswil and change there.  I took the 11:15 AM train to Hergiswil.

About 11:40 AM I was on the regional train to Sarnen in Obwalden.  It was almost lunchtime.  I went to a grocery store to buy bread, meat and cheese.  I found some interesting ready-to-eat sausage, not much more intense than the average Oscar Meyer salami, but smaller in diameter.  I was able to buy pretzel rolls and spicy mustard in a tube.  Also mild Emmentaler cheese.  I also bought Sinalco, which is similar to Orange Crush but does not have artificial coloring so it is a bit more yellow than the Crush you find in the USA or Canada.  After that, I ate lunch and wandered around the old town of Sarnen before returning to Luzern about 2 PM.  I collected my suitcase from the locker, boarded a 3 PM train to Bern, and enjoyed the rest of the journey into snow covered countryside.

Part of the route included Wohlhusen and Konolfingen.   If I were to look left somewhere between Konolfingen and Worb, I could see the Berner Oberland, where there was Thun, Spiez, Grindelwald, and Lauterbrunnen.  The train arrived about 4:30 PM in Bern SBB station.  I had to find a way to the Marzilibahn, which was on the west side of the Bundeshaus from Bundesplatz, towards Kleine Schanze, with an excellent view of the Berner Oberland.  The Marzilibahn did not accept the Swiss Pass, but the fare was 1 CHF each way.  The cable car arrived a few minutes later at Münzrain, but I needed to find Weihergasse, as the hostel was located close to Aarstrasse.  Eventually I found the Aarstrasse, and the hostel, and I checked into my room.  I had an entire multi-bed room to myself for the next two days.

About 5:30 PM I was ready to return to the Bundesplatz and explore more of Bern.  I took the Marzilibahn up to the Bundeshaus, and took a tram one stop to Zytglogge, and had no idea what it was until I approached the Zytgloggelaube.  It turned out to be an astrological clock on the east side towards Hotelgasse.  The west side towards Kornhausplatz is a regular clock.  That was Bern's answer to the Astrological Clock in Prague, Czech Republic.

I needed some more adventure that day, so I took a line G light rail to Worb, which has since been changed to Bern tram line 6.  I had seen light rail vehicles and I thought I might have a look at the route.  It was quite a long ride to Worb, given the many stops line G made along the way.  It stopped in Muri and Gümligen, which may explain why the route was called "G".  I was in Worb about 7:20 PM before I decided to return to Bern by the 7:30 PM S7 train.  Between Worblaufen and Bern, the line went underground to the SBB station without stopping.

I had supper at the Manora restaurant, at Marktgasse 10, close to Zytglogge.  At Manora in Bern, everything is mostly a la carte and self service, and payment is required before consuming any of the food.  That day I cannot remember what I ordered, but it was excellent.  After dinner, I tried to take the Marzilibahn back to the hostel, but it stopped running.  I took a bus line 30 from Zytglogge to Dalmazibrücke and walked the rest of the way along the River Aare to the hostel.  I listened to the radio for a while before going to bed, I think about 10 PM.

Tomorrow I will ride a train to the northwesternmost part of Switzerland, and even cross into Germany, and at least get close to the French border.  And I will also test my luck in a Swiss record store, will I find anything interesting in German?  Find out tomorrow.  Hope you will join me!

Auf wiederluege!  Au revoir!  Arrivederci!  Goodbye!
