Unfortunately, one of us (Mr. Rau) forgot his entrance ticket at home. He went back to the hostel and therefore could not join us for the guided tour in the Swiss pavilion. After some first impressions we met with Kevin Balzan who was waiting for us in the Swiss pavilion.

It will give us the right impulses for our second and last visit to the expo tomorrow.
