Switzerland's Berner Alps 雪域之行-瑞士-9

If you ever stump¹ let the friendly people you need help you out, I’ve made some great friendships high in the Alps.
France!
Hello, M! Nice to see you again.
Thank you, good to see you.
How are you?
Very good. Hey! I’d like to close the program by introducing you to some people I met long time ago at the Gimmelward view hostel². Now they are my family in Switzerland. This is France Merger³ and this is my friend P. (Nice to meet you) and this is John.
Nice to meet you.
Hi, F. Nice to meet you.
Please come in!
Ok!

Where is Winny?
Hi, Winny!
Hello!
Hi, how are you?
…
What is that?
It means when you are on comedy, I have something against sterilely⁴.
Some medicines against ????.
You’ll be, you’ll be ????…
Thank you!

I’m not advocating a cultural free-loading attitude or an ugly American pushiness⁵, just in understanding that I’m as interesting to these Swiss friends as they are to me.
Lorrend in his school will learn to write hydromel (?)
Hydromel, yes, yes.
We have…
Hydromel is for children’s near language.
So to specks⁶ too high ?????
Yes.
Where do they come from?
Show me the hole?
The first you hole off.
That’s, that’s exciting. Do you have a tooth fairy?
Very good.

Making local friends is just as important as visiting the huge museums in glittering⁷ palaces in your travels. If you had any contacts of relatives, look them up. They don’t need to be next of camp. In Austria once I visited the father of my sister’s ski teacher. That’s close enough.

In case you haven’t figured it out yet, this stop in the Alps’s been a vacation for my vacation, the same idea as last week’s stay in the Italian Riviera. Half way through any trip I schedule a relaxed enjoying mutual⁸ break, for recharging your touristic battery it’s hard to leave Switzerland. Well, our hike’s over. And once more I have fun, hope you did too. I hope the opening of folk museum help to orient⁹ of you to Swiss culture. And you learned a little something about handling your money over here. If you fell in love with the Berner urbanite¹⁰ you’ll be sharing here with me. Also I hope that I encourage you to get out there and meet some people. I can never get enough from Switzerland. And we are not finish Switzer yet. Join us next week as we visit western French speaking Switzerland for a look at some roman ruins, modern art, great wine, and a delicious chocolate back in tour. Until then I’m R. Steve, wishing you happy travels.
