Swiss Mister

Doug has just returned from almost a week in Switzerland where he attended a conference in Lausanne aswell as 'fact-finding' meetings with the International Ice Hockey Federation in Zurich and UEFA in Nyon. In addition to his work commitments he stayed two nights with a friends David and Emma in Zug who took him for a Saturday afternoon of snowboarding in Flims (part of the Laax ski area). On the Sunday morning he traveled to Lausanne where he met up for lunch with his old school mate Geoff and his girlfriend Sophie who had driven from Chamonix, approximately 1.5 hours away. Doug was very impressed by the international flavour of Switzerland, stunning scenery and outdoors lifestyle but was a bit frightened by the high cost of living.
