Zermatt
7 of us went to Zermatt on thursday, having endured a train ride of at least 10 hrs to and fro. I woke up at the wee hours of 4am, just to catch the 5 plus train in the morning. It is located in the south-eastern part of Switz, while St Gallen is in the North-eastern part. I was reluctant to go initially as the travelling time puts me off. But considering that Zermatt has arguably the most recognisable landmark of Switzerland, the Matterhorn, I guess I just gotta see it.
Due to the heavy snowpour the past few days, the town of Zermatt is literally white. It was a quiet day, with few tourists, and its picturesque everywhere we walk. Snowy mountains, white Xmas trees, snowy white roads and paths, it's everything I imagined real winter to be like. The only complaint is that it's too cold, day was around -3 degrees while by evening it dropped to -7 degrees. And the slippery ground which has never made me so cautious when walking.

Wooden-styled houses and Hotels along the slope
The Matterhorn - the mountain with a distinct tip, arguably the landmark of Switzerland 
Actually this is what I envision Finland to be like. It would be perfect if there were reindeers pulling carriages, with Mr Santa leading the way. I will gleefully hop on one =)
The half icy river - I just love the half-covered snowy trees, which still revealed the green leaves.
The sun was glaring, perfect excuse to don my glasses so I dun have to open my eyes while taking pics. Haha.
Possibly my blog entry with the least pics of myself. I thought I look awful that day =(
Oh we discovered an outdoor Ice skating ring - Teenagers playing Ice-Hockey in such an utopic town
Partial darkness by evening. Raymond Well, 510 pm. It was almost pitch-dark by 545 pm. Thats another reason to dislike winter, it shortens my days.
No skiing that day, yet I was satisfied just by the beauty of nature. Wonder how long this will last, as in how long the Earth will sustain its natural beauty.
I still believe the end of the world, not in our generation, but possibly, 300 years later.
When the four seasons are distorted, where Switerland snows no more
When the ice bergs are melted, where the polar bears exist no more
When Spore starts to snow, where Pandas are seen no more
When resources are depleted, where Mankind ceases. Forever.
