We went out last night to watch football at the local pub http://www.pickwick.ch/ We got there at 6:00 -- which was an hour before game time and the place was so packed on both floors that there was no place to sit -- and barely room to stand. Their was a soccer match on (Arsenal thrashed Liverpool) and for a short amount of time I thought we had gotten it terribly wrong in translation and the NFL wasn't going to be on...
After the Arsenal game, the place pretty much cleared out. Magically, they chose to show the Bengals game. Or, for those who saw the game -- the Ladamien Tomlinson show. There were a number of Chargers fan there. I grabbed bacon cheeseburger (with sauce) and fries. Not stellar -- I still miss the Harry's mini burgers.
Random other thoughts
The first night we were here we went to a local place for dinner where the name essentially translated to "Spitoon". When we walked in, it looked like a number of the tables had these massive lava lamps sitting on them. Under closer inspection, they were clear pvc like tubes of beer with a tap on the bottom. They sold them in 5 Liter quantities. This same place was doing kareoke. I was in a bad European/American Idol sequence -- I don't watch the show, but I imagine I was in the part where they do the early auditions. Random folks singing off-key in English -- bad. Random folks singing off-key in random languages -- oddly, equally as bad.
