In front of Migros on Meierhofplatz, kreis 10, can you buy a Christmas tree imported from Denmark nicely put into a net using the tube on the photo above. Apparently Denmark is a huge exporter of Christmas trees even though I personally have never seen anything close to a forest in Denmark. It is somehow ironic that the trees are transported all the way from Denmark as Copenhagen is trying hard to become the symbol of environmentalism. Trying hard but so far we have not seen anything promising coming out from the conference, only a polarization between the rich and the poor countries. Both sides think that the other part should take the burden of saving the planet. They have three days left but you have to be a very stubborn optimist to still believe that anything fruitful will come out of this.
Another chapter in the Swiss-against-the-world-saga has just started. As the last one in a long row of countries trying to get their hands on escaped tax-money kept safe in Switzerland due to the bank secrecy, France is now using illegally obtained lists of bank accounts from a Swiss bank to get hold of their fraudsters.
