  • Chainless Biycle

    Edward 愛看Tour d' France, 每次看到看到那些賽手因為 jamming the chain, 而lose the race又或跌倒甚至傷得很重! 這是他自此而很大願望設計出一款比chain drive 鏈條單車更可reliability賴性, 更安全safety, without losing performance and without increasing the weight of the bicycle, but also inprove the efficiency..

  • Trench Casting Machine

    It does dig a trench 300mm wide and 6000mm deep and fills it with concrete simultaneously at an advance rate of 20m/hour...

  • solar power and terrestrial power

    The world is desperately looking for alternative power sources in order to reduce greenhouse gases and with it save our planet. Opinions vary widely on what course we should take to achieve a more environmentally acceptable power source ...

  • 2 22 2011 Christchurch Earthquake

    在 4 日 9 月 2010 年, 紐西蘭的基督城發生了一次 7.1 magnitude earthquake. 那時才死了不到幾個人. 建築物也損害不太重(與今次6.3級地震相比). 於是, 地震後, 政府就開始重建了. 才不到半年(5 個月吧了) 就有了第二次的大地震. 2月22日2011, 這次只是 6.3 級地震. 可是死了123人226人失蹤(至今天2月26日為至). 成為了紐西蘭80年來最大的自然災難....

  • Bowerbirds

    Bowerbirds 神奇之處是他們是天才建築師, 為了吸引女性, 他們會建一巢(請看圖), 外面加很多裝飾品(有石塊/水果/果實/花葉/汽水罐... 所有有顏色的東西), 而顏色的挑選完全是由男性認為什麼顏色可以吸引自己喜愛的女性, 而已這些個人口味完全是從遺傳因子而來的...

Europe trip 961

22th Aug., 2009, 第6天 – St. Christoph > Vorarlberg > Vaduz, liechtenstein > Walensee > Zurich

離開了 St. Anton 後, 我們開車到 St.Christoph (Small, refined, traditional. Located at 1,800 m above sea level, St. Christoph is one of the Alps´ highest ski resorts: a spacious yet very cozy mountain village offering 700 guest beds. St. Christoph became famous in the 14th century when the shepherd Heinrich Findelkind built a hospice as a shelter against the whims of nature. Today St. Christoph offers a few hotels and inns. The evenings are best whiled away in rustic lounges where you can sample hearty dishes, fine wines and happy laughter. You will make new friends and return home full of happy memories.)  那裡有很多Edward 的表兄弟開的酒店http://www.stantonamarlberg.com/en/sommer/die-region/st.-christoph-am-arlberg-1-793-meters.html

經過St. Christoph (Tirol) 後, 開去 Langen (Vorarlberg):

Vorarlberg is the westernmost and wealthiest state (Land) of Austria. Though it is the second smallest in terms of area (Vienna is the smallest) it borders three countries: Germany (Bavaria and Baden-Württemberg over Lake Constance), Switzerland (Graubünden and St. Gallen) and Liechtenstein. The only Austrian federal state that shares a border with Vorarlberg is Tyrol to the east. The capital of Vorarlberg is Bregenz, although Dornbirn and Feldkirch are larger cities in terms of population. Vorarlberg is also distinct in that it is the only province in Austria that does not speak an Austro-Bavarian dialect; it shares much in common with its neighbors in Switzerland, Liechtenstein and Swabia.

在 Langen 加油站, 我們去餐廳午飯後, 入到厠所看到自動洗厠板:

向 Vaduz, Liechtenstein 駛去,  山峰岩石奇特:

Europe trip 986 Europe trip 985

Vaduz (Liechtenstein)

列支敦斯登公國德文Fürstentum Liechtenstein),歐洲中部的內陸小國聯合國區域集團定義為西歐國家[1]),夾在瑞士奧地利兩國間,為世界上僅有的兩個雙重內陸國之一(另一個為烏茲別克)。同时该国也是唯一一个官方语言德语但与德国没有交界的国家。這個迄今仍維持君主立憲制的山區小國,雖然土地狹小兼人口稀少,但卻擁有異常高的國民所得水準,其人均国内生产总值高達60,000欧元,是一個以阿爾卑斯山美麗風光、避稅天堂與高生活水準而著稱的富裕小國。

為什麼我們要去liechtenstein, 那是因為我們看了一個電視紀錄片是講述liechtenstein是Tax Haven 在銀行存款, 於是很多有錢佬, 商業罪犯都張錢存在列支敦斯登內的銀行, 因為查不到, 又不用交稅, 這裡因此也變成世界最大的洗黑錢和商業詐騙的使用銀行服務的最好地方:

遠遠已經看到皇宮了:

入城要經過橋, 在橋的另一面是一度木舊橋:

上到山才有一告示牌和知你不用前進了, 如果你要皇宮的話, 因為皇室是不向外開放的:

在Vaduz 的入口, 就有一個Liechtenstein 很大的招牌:

開去Walensee (Switzerland)

 Europe trip 1013

很快便看到很多 Walensee 上的山頭了:

到了:

Walensee is one of the larger lakes in Switzerland, for about 2/3 of its surface in the Canton of St. Gallen and for 1/3 in the Canton of Glarus. It is also known as Lake Walen or Lake Walenstadt, after Walenstadt. Other towns and villages at the lake include: Weesen, Quinten, Quarten, and Murg.

The three main rivers leading to this lake are the Seez, Murgbach, and Linth. The latter continues its course from Walensee to Lake Zurich.

The Churfirsten range raises steeply on the North side from the lake's level at 419 m to 2,300 m above sea level.

Edward 很多瑞士產品都用這湖的幾座山來作產品商標的:

開去Zurich :

Zürich or Zurich (see Etymology below) is the largest city in Switzerland and the capital of the canton of Zürich. The city is Switzerland's main commercial and cultural centre and sometimes called the Cultural Capital of Switzerland, the political capital of Switzerland being Berne. Zürich can be counted as one of the world's pre-eminent global cities. According to several surveys from 2006 to 2008, Zürich was named the city with the best quality of life in the world as well as the wealthiest city in Europe.[1][2][3] Zürich is also ranked the sixth most expensive city in the world. In 2008, Zürich was ranked ninth. The city ranked behind Hong Kong and ahead of Copenhagen. It is the third most expensive city in Europe and second most expensive city in Switzerland after Geneva.[4] The Zürich metropolitan area has a population of about 1.68 million.

在 Zurich, 雖然已經是瑞士最繁忙的城市的了, 但是我們這些從住慣香港的, 我覺得他們繁忙程度仍差我們很遠. 

這可能是因為他們的建築物不像我們的高, 壓迫力沒那麼重, 他們的車輛亦沒我們的多... 種種.
