It can make financial sense, if you have the time, to buy from America and have it shipped. No duty on books.

Did you buy the tripod before you left?

And I hope you weren't planning on buying any Levi's! (SFr100-120 is common)

Stoo's Rules To Live By, #283: Earn money in Switzerland, spend it elsewhere.

Hell no..no buying Tripod here. Forget it.

I consider myself lucky for having my friend put me up. Lordy lordy otherwise this trip would have ended before it started.tomorrow when i go to the supermarket will know how expensive food is.

I did not have a chance to get the LP and my friend bought one today and I was shocked when I saw the price.I almost choked.

Gosh, yes, the exchange rate... the dollar and the Swiss franc about 1:1. That's why this year, all the Europeans are coming to the States.

But how is the weather? Have you been to the Alps, yet?
