So i recently (Two days ago) got back from an extraordinary weekend Rotary trip to Zermatt Switzerland with a whopping 140 (roughly) exchange students . While this was my third time there, I loved it just the same and saw a new side of it, as well as the old.
We participated in a scavenger hunt of sorts that was split up into teams of eight, and involved two facors.
1.) Complete the Missions- The missions consisted of a series of tests such as "find a fried egg" or "take a picture of a wedding"
2.) Trade up- We started with a cheap candle (others with pencils or other assorted cheap items) and we had to trade them for something better. Well one thing led to another and by the end, we had obtained a TV, a club shirt, a stack of postcards, a small heart shaped fuzzy pillow, a bottle of alcohol and a few other small assorted items. And that's only what we had at the end, not what we had traded in between. other groups ended up with skis, snowboards, wine, hockey equipment etc. Rotex told us after that people in the years before had gotten couches and TVs as well.
we stayed at la Maison du junesses, which pretty much means House of Youngsters (kinda like the YMCA) and the next day took a gondola i didn't even know existed. I think pictures are worth a thousand words, and videos show 26 frames per second, so my
11 minute video of the inside of a glacier equates out to about the complete Harry Potter Series and Twilight combined... enjoy
