Last night was the official Olympic reception at the Swiss Embassy. There were about 500 guests to the House of Switzerland , which formed such an event is the ideal setting. There were several prominent guests, led by President Pascal Couchpin . The interest of many people-present media directed but also to include Juan Antonio Samaranch , Sepp Blatter or swiss olympic Jörg Schild, President and several high-ranking Chinese leaders. The (surprising) bronze-medal cyclist's Cancellara contributed to the good mood.
me it was the opportunity to meet friends and acquaintances, including the still-correspondent of Radio DRS Peter Achten ( Urs Morf , also a China and Asia expert, will assume the post after the games), Peter Fischer of NZZ , Wu Jiatong of the Beijing concert agency Wu Promotion and Simon Bosshart of Switzerland Tourism. I was particularly pleased, that I've met a Ur friend
The one-hour trip by subway and taxi across the hot, humid Beijing (in suit and tie as additional disability) was worth it just because of this reunion.
