Basel Switzerland

This last Saturday a few coworkers and I went to Basel for a short 6 hour visit. Melissa, from the Singapore office (where English is the official language) and Nengshi from the Germany office but originally from China. On this Saturday we spoke some English, some Chinese (well not me) and even a little German.

The Christmas Markets were up and running in Basel as well.

Here is a cool sled at the Christmas market:

Another fancy building.

And then we found the playground near by. So much cooler!

I got to ride too!

Oops!

The buildings we looked at were part of a secured campus.

The city of Basel, Switzerland is also on the Rhine River.

Notice the stars that are over the street lights just for christmas.

And then another building: good for looking at,

And for shadow theatre!
