We headed in to Zurich on Saturday to meet a friend and see some of Zurifascht, a festival held every three years. I saw some of the air display team on Friday evening on my way to the shops, as they seemed to be turning around near us before heading back up the lake. First stop was the Korean food shop near the main station, and we were delighted to see that it has expanded - the little food section is now in a separate two-story shop across the street, with the food in a nice cool basement and expanded to include fresh vegetables - and the tiny restaurant was getting ready to expand into the space it had previously occupied.
There was lots going on in the town centre - we didn't realise the trams were diverted and ended up further away than we started but eventually got to the top of the lake where you could barely walk through the crowds. Parachutists were coming in to land on a very small pontoon near the bridge, and later divers were doing acrobatic dives from a high board also very close to the bridge. There were stalls selling all kinds of food, as well as rides, a rather dubious "gondola", and more tat than you could shake a stick at including multiple piercing jewellery stalls.

Another of the irritating "share a Coke with..." labels. Might be Swiss German.
