Saturday June 25th. The most exciting Zug day. 5 reasons why.

Yes, I will keep it to 5.  Only 5.  There might be dozens, but these 5 make my heart beat faster.  This Saturday it is the Zuger Seefest!  It has been a while since the last one.  And during that while, for the most part, we were stuck at home, we were not getting together, we were not dancing all night with our friends.  But not this summer and not this Saturday!  This Saturday is special.   REASON no 1 Top Gun breaks box office records.  At $900 million currently, it is expected to be the first billion dollar...

Which company makes Zug most proud these days?

The Swiss Weather

COMIC OF THE WEEK: The Swiss Weather Monday to Friday: Sunny and hot.  Weekend: Rain. ☹ Somebody is playing a joke on us.  It is warm and sunny while we are at work.  It is raining during our free time, especially the weekends.  NO?  Look at Hercules for example.  Working so hard during the week, he looks outside and it is beautiful weather.  He is thinking of all the fun things he will do outdoors during the weekend, at his time off.  And when Sunday comes, it is raining.  Why Swiss Weather?  Why?. ABOUT Every week I will publish...
